The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has made public a substantial collection of viewer complaints concerning Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime performance.

While the show was widely celebrated by many as a significant moment for Latin music and Puerto Rican culture on a prominent American stage, a segment of the audience expressed considerable disapproval.

The complaints, directed at the musician, the broadcast partner NBC, and the NFL, frequently highlighted strong objections to what was perceived as the suggestive nature of Bad Bunny's Spanish-language lyrics and choreography.

Viewers expressed particular concern given that the broadcast was accessible to children.

One viewer from Las Vegas described the show as "the most disgusting inappropriate show," recounting having to remove their children from the room.

This individual emphasized that "inappropriate language should stand no matter what language it’s in," labeling it "the most disturbing thing I’ve witnessed on live TV in a long time."

Another complaint, from an Ohio resident, made a graphic and unsubstantiated claim, stating that the "NFL halftime show showed 2 men in act of intercourse while behind a pickup truck door." This viewer expressed distress that their children, who they believed were watching a safe broadcast, became disturbed by what they witnessed.

A viewer from Charlotte, North Carolina, who appeared to be familiar with Bad Bunny's musical catalog, specifically raised concerns about the vocal performances of "Safaera" and "Yo Perreo Sola." This individual noted that "Safaera" is "widely known for explicit sexual references and graphic lyrical content." Regarding "Yo Perreo Sola," the complaint cited choreography featuring "overtly sexualized movements, including widespread twerking, grinding, pelvic thrusts and other sexually suggestive conduct."

Despite these strong reactions, the FCC's internal review of the performance, conducted in February, found that the lyrics of the songs had been suitably modified for the broadcast.

This finding likely did not satisfy those who lodged complaints.

The controversy also drew political attention.

Rep.

Randy Fine, a Republican from Florida, publicly called for the FCC to investigate the broadcast.

Fine conveyed his strong disapproval to The New York Post, stating, "What Americans witnessed during the Super Bowl halftime show with Bad Bunny was despicable and never should be allowed to be shown on television again."

The sentiments expressed in many of the viewer complaints echoed criticisms made by former President Donald Trump on social media following the show.

Trump had characterized the performance as "one of the worst EVER!" He further commented at the time that "Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World."

Prior to his Super Bowl appearance, Bad Bunny had achieved significant recognition, winning a Grammy for best album with "Debí Tirar Más Fotos." He had also joined other artists in speaking out against violent ICE raids during speeches at the Grammy ceremony.

The superstar had previously opted against performing in the continental U.S.

due to concerns over these raids, instead undertaking an extended residency in Puerto Rico.
