'Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Show: FCC Finds No Problem'

The Super Bowl halftime set by Bad Bunny sparked a quick firestorm among some Republican lawmakers. They claimed the artist had slipped in uncensored profanity, sparking calls for a formal inquiry. The Federal Communications Commission opened an investigation to see if any rules on “indecent material” were broken. After reviewing the performance, they found no violations. The review focused on three tracks that usually contain explicit references to sex and body parts: “Tití Me Preguntó, ” “Monaco, ” and “Safaera. ” The versions used at the game had those lines edited out, so nothing illegal was aired.With that evidence in hand, the FCC said it would not pursue further action unless new information emerged. One Florida congressman posted on X that the show was “illegal, ” citing lyrics he had not even heard in the broadcast. A Missouri representative echoed similar complaints on Fox News, noting that he did not understand Spanish but claimed there were “many facts” about the words. No comparable criticism has been raised about other halftime performances that were marketed as family‑friendly, such as the one organized by Turning Point USA. The outcome suggests that even high‑profile events are closely monitored, and that the FCC’s checks can quickly dispel unfounded accusations.
