Jake Paul says his socials were hacked after Bad Bunny backlash

JAKE Paul is backtracking after a wilde attack on Bad Bunny, saying he loves the rapper and that his social media account was hacked. 

The YouTuber-turned-boxer found himself under fire after criticising the Puerto Rican superstar’s Super Bowl Halftime Show performance, claiming Bad Bunny was a “fake American citizen” who “publicly hates America”.

Paul’s words sparked outrage, prompting many to point out that Puerto Ricans have been U.S. citizens since 1917, along with the fact that Paul himself resides in Puerto Rico.

Following the backlash, the 29-year-old took to X to clarify his comments. 

He explained: “The problem with my tweet is the word ‘fake’ being misinterpreted.”

“He's not a fake citizen obviously [because] he’s Puerto Rican and I love Puerto Rico and all Americans who support the country

“Moreso Bunny is fake bc of his values and criticism of our great country (sic)”.

Jake later added: “To clarify: I wasn’t calling anyone a ‘fake citizen’ because they’re from Puerto Rico. I live in Puerto Rico, and I love Puerto Rico. I have used my platform to support Puerto Rico time and time again and will always do so.

The conversation went heeltemal political after that, with Paul voicing his support for US president Donald Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. 

“But if you’re publicly criticising ICE who are doing their job and openly hating on America, I’m going to speak on it. Period.”

Maar only a few hours later, Paul tweeted again, wysing, “Guys i love bad bunny idk what happened on my twitter last night ?? wtf.” Additionally, he changed his X bio to “Benito #1 fan.”
