The new Republican culture war is saying that Bad Bunny is not a US citizen because he's from Puerto Rico.

I don't think I've heard this from anyone with much influence. The point is more that, because his music is in Spanish and he's vocally anti Trump (not a lot of half time show worthy artists who aren't TBH) he appeals to a lot of Hispanic people and it looks like a symbolic middle finger to the right from the NFL; obviously this is irrational since he's just an enormous artist, as always the chuds just want to play the victim. I don't think they're going as far as to deny that Bad Bunny is a citizen though, if anything it's more that he appeals to immigrants, hence Kristi Noem promising that they'll have the DHS at the Super Bowl catching immigrants.
