Pro-Donald Trump influencer Jake Paul was hit by his own brother and fellow influencer Logan Paul Sunday night for attacking Super Bowl LX’s halftime headliner Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny as a “fake American,” and urging viewers to “turn off” their televisions in protest.
“Turn off this halftime,” Jake Paul wrote Sunday in a social media post on X to his more than 4.4 million followers. “A fake American citizen performing who publicly hates America. I cannot support that.”
Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, has sparked MAGA outrage for his past criticisms of the Trump administration, including from Trump himself. Jake Paul was attacked by his brother for his comments later that same night.
“I love my brother but I don’t agree with this,” Logan Paul wrote Sunday night in a social media post on X to his 6.4 million followers. “Puerto Ricans are Americans & I’m happy they were given the opportunity to showcase the talent that comes from the island.”
Beyond being rebuked by his own brother, Jake Paul was also criticized by countless others who reminded the influencer that his own primary residence is in Puerto Rico.
“You moved to Puerto Rico to evade taxes, and are now calling a native Puerto Rican a fake American,” wrote YouTuber and online content creator “Mightykeef” in a social media post on X. “Can’t make this up.”
Jake Paul did, in fact, move to Puerto Rico in 2023 after purchasing a 12,000 square-foot, eight-bedroom mansion in Dorado, though it’s not known if the tax incentives had anything to do with the move.
The American territory has been scrutinized for its tax incentives that have “lured thousands of rich Americans” to the island over the years, with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez having previously criticized the island’s tax system for “stealing valuable federal tax revenue.”
