Logan Paul publicly backed Puerto Rico after his brother, Jake Paul, criticized Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance, calling him a “fake American citizen” and claiming he disliked America. This comment overlooked the fact that Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, making its residents American citizens. Logan took to Twitter to correct his brother’s statement, affirming that Puerto Ricans are Americans. His supportive message was acknowledged by WWE wrestler Damian Priest, highlighting the importance of the statement.
