Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show was divisive before it even started, with many conservatives criticizing the Puerto Rican singer’s political outspokenness, including condemning Immigration and Customs Enforcement last week at the Grammy Awards, where he took home the prize for album of the year.

But while many fans lauded the Latin hitmaker’s 13-minute set on Sunday, despite President Donald Trump calling it “absolutely terrible” and “an affront to the Greatness of America,” one Republican critic is taking his offense to another level.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R, Tenn.) posted on X on Monday evening a letter addressed to the House Energy and Commerce Committee in which he called for an immediate inquiry into the National Football League and broadcaster NBCUniversal over their “prior knowledge, review, and approval” of what he alleged to be “a performance dominated by sexually explicit lyrical themes and suggestive choreography.”

In his post, Ogles called the halftime show “pure smut” and claimed that it featured “explicit displays of gay sexual acts, women gyrating provocatively, and Bad Bunny shamelessly grabbing his crotch while dry-humping the air” and that the singer’s mostly Spanish-language lyrics “openly glorified sodomy and countless other unspeakable depravities.”
