“They Need Me”: Bad Bunny Super Bowl Halftime Reaction Gets Extra Heat As Chris Brown Posts Bold Take

Bad Bunny’s halftime show has not only got many fans reacting, but even many celebs. It looks like the rapper’s performance has inspired Chris Brown to want to take the stage at the Super Bowl someday.

Brown put out a tweet remarking that everyone needs him right now, especially with Bad Bunny’s performance getting plenty of criticism and backlash. The Puerto Rican rapper had his entire performance in Spanish, which was one of the reasons for the criticism, while many disliked his anti-ICE stance.

“I think its safe to say..they need me! (smirking face emoji)” Chris Brown captioned his Instagram post.

Chris Brown is indeed a talented musical genius and has tons of fans all over. However, the singer/dancer has plenty of controversy surrounding him, especially the violence against his ex-girlfriend Rihanna. Although Rihanna seems to have forgiven Brown and moved on, fans have been frequently bringing this up, including the responses to Brown’s post about wanting to be a halftime performer.

Meanwhile, Bad Bunny’s performance seems to have divided the entire nation, with numerous fans taking the rapper’s side and others calling him out. Even President Donald Trump, who was at the Super Bowl, exited the stadium soon after the halftime show kicked off, even sharing on Truth Social that the entire performance was ridiculous.

Meanwhile, Bad Bunny’s halftime performance has brought out the worst in many, especially right-wing activists who have been stubbornly standing against the rapper right from the moment he was announced as the league’s musical artist. Laura Loomer, who has always been against everything left-wing, took to X to share a post about just how much she hates Bad Bunny and immigrants.

“Illegal aliens and Latin hookers twerking at the Super Bowl. Not a single white person or English translation at the Super Bowl. This isn’t White enough for me. Cant even watch a Super Bowl anymore because immigrants have literally ruined everything.”Laura Loomer tweeted.
