Jay-Z is at the center of a new controversy, following his selection of Spanish singer Bad Bunny for the Super Bowl Halftime Show. The backlash has prompted fans to organize a national boycott of the event. This controversy comes in the wake of Jay-Z's own challenges, including losing a significant casino deal and facing serious allegations.
Artistic Choice Sparks National Outcry
Both casual viewers and devoted football fans are expressing their outrage at Jay-Z's choice to feature Bad Bunny, who has gained notoriety for his outspoken criticisms of former President Donald Trump and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Critics have noted that Bad Bunny does not perform any music in English and questioned the appropriateness of his headlining one of America's most-watched sporting spectacles.
Increasing Pressure on the NFL
As the calls for a boycott intensify, some are urging the NFL to sever ties with Jay-Z and Roc Nation, especially in light of numerous allegations against the company stemming from accusations of human trafficking and money laundering. Roc Nation's CEO, Desiree Perez, has also come under scrutiny due to her own legal troubles.
