Chris Brown slams Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show: 'They need me'

Chris Brown is not a fan of Big Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime performance.

“I think it’s safe to say… they need me,” Brown wrote on his Instagram Stories, followed by a winking face emoji.

The post came minutes after Bad Bunny gave an electric performance during the prestigious halftime show, which celebrated his native Puerto Rico.

The rapper, who performed entirely in Spanish, thrilled the crowd with songs like “Monaco,” “Yo Perreo Sola,” and “Tití Me Preguntó,” while celebrities including Cardi B, Pedro Pascal, Alix Earle, Jessica Alba and Karol G danced around him.

The performance honored many aspects of Puerto Rican culture, like the food, games and dancing.

Lady Gaga delivered a surprise rendition of her and Bruno Mars’ ballad, “Die With a Smile,” and Puerto Rican-born Ricky Martin sang “Lo Que Pasó a Hawaii.”

Fellow Puerto Rican Ricky Martin also surprised the crowd, as he sang “Lo Que Pasó a Hawaii.”

The Grammy winner’s appearance at the Super Bowl outraged some NFL fans who took offense to a Spanish-language performer.

He has also been critical of the Trump administration and the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Brown has never performed at a Super Bowl halftime show.

In 2009, the “Kiss Kiss” singer notoriously pleaded guilty to felony assault of his then-girlfriend, Rihanna.

He was sentenced to five years’ probation and six months of community service.

The singer has been in trouble with the law since then.

In 2017, Brown’s ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran was granted a five-year restraining order against him.

Brown allegedly became aggressive toward the “Claws” alum for not returning money and gifts he had given her during their relationship.

Last year, the “No Guidance” singer was arrested in Manchester, England, for allegedly hitting music producer Abe Diaw with a tequila bottle at a London nightclub in 2023.

In October 2023, Diaw filed a lawsuit against Brown, claiming the singer had assaulted him eight months prior.

The producer alleged Brown “inflicted severe and lasting injuries” on him after “beating him over the head” with a bottle of Don Julio 1942 in February 2023 at the Tape London nightclub.
