In a fiery rant posted by TMZ recently, the 65-year-old Hall of Famer unleashed his confusion and criticism, questioning why the Puerto Rican megastar was chosen at all.

He said:

“If Bad Bunny don’t like the United States, keep his a** where he at. Don’t come on here singing, Keep his a** in Puerto Rico. If he don’t like the U.S., keep his a** over there.”

Even after being reminded that Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, Dickerson doubled down, saying:

“I know Puerto Rico is part of the U.S., but it’s not the U.S. That’s how I look at it. That’s how I feel. They get these performers and they say all this controversial stuff about the United States, about how they hate the U.S., and all that kind of stuff. If you hate the U.S., don’t come here.”

Meanwhile, Bunny recently made headlines for brushing off other backlash he’s received for the Halftime Show gig with humor during his SNL appearance, teasing that anyone upset they won’t understand his songs “have four months to learn.”

Whether fans see it as a culture clash or controversy, one thing’s clear: this halftime show already has the internet talking.
