Bad Bunny might be gearing up to take over the Super Bowl LX halftime stage, but not everyone is buying the hype, and Charlie Sheen just made that crystal clear. With the NFL locking in Bad Bunny as this year’s halftime headliner for the showdown between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots, the performance has already turned into a full-blown culture war. Some fans are celebrating the global superstar’s historic moment, while others are openly asking whether he belongs anywhere near football’s biggest stage.

Adding fuel to the fire, conservative group Turning Point USA announced it will host its own competing event, the so-called “All-American Halftime Show,” featuring Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett for viewers who’d rather skip Bad Bunny altogether.

And now, Charlie Sheen is weighing in on the topic.

During a recent appearance on “Real Time with Bill Maher,” the actor didn’t bother dancing around his feelings, arguing that the NFL still hasn’t figured out how to nail the halftime show. “NFL has to figure out the halftime show,” Sheen said.

When Maher asked him to clarify what he meant, Sheen doubled down, explaining that the league should be delivering something that speaks directly to hardcore football fans. “Figure out, like, just, you know, deliver something that… the die-hard fans really want. As far as musically,” he said.

Maher didn’t miss the subtext, asking flat out whether Sheen was throwing shade at Bad Bunny. “Yeah,” Sheen admitted. “I mean, there’s bands, there’s acts, there’s just people that I think are more germane to the experience of the game, of that moment, of that particular game. It’s the biggest game in the universe that’s played.”

Maher tried to soften the blow, joking that maybe the disconnect was generational. “I’m sure Mr. Bunny is wonderful,” he said. “It’s a reflection on me that I don’t know his work as well as I can, but I’m a bit different era. I was hoping… it would be Eddie Rabbit.”

Sheen’s response? “I mean, that I’m watching,” he said, laughing.

Almost immediately after Bad Bunny was announced, Turning Point USA revealed plans for a counter-programming event, framed as a direct response to what organizers described as the NFL moving away from “traditional” Super Bowl values.

In a statement released when the rival show was announced, Kid Rock made the contrast crystal clear. “He’s said he’s having a dance party, wearing a dress, and singing in Spanish? Cool,” Kid Rock said of Bad Bunny. “We plan to play great songs for folks who love America.”

Turning Point USA has said its halftime production will celebrate “faith, family, and freedom” and will stream live across the group’s social media platforms and conservative outlets, including Real America’s Voice and One America News Network.

Meanwhile, Bad Bunny is poised to make history on Sunday as the first solo Latin artist to headline a Super Bowl Halftime Show, a milestone moment the NFL has framed as a celebration of the game’s global reach. But as speculation swirls over whether Bad Bunny will weave a political statement into his Super Bowl performance, some observers argue the symbolism doesn’t need to be spelled out.

“I think a lot of people are expecting him to have a political message in there,” said Mike Alfaro, the creator of Millennial Lotería, who has gone viral for translating Bad Bunny’s lyrics into English ahead of the big game. “I think just him being there is the political message.”

Trump, meanwhile, blasted the NFL’s decision to give Bad Bunny and Green Day a global platform at Super Bowl LX, calling the pregame and halftime lineup a “terrible choice.” “I’m anti-them,” Trump told the New York Post, making it clear he’s not a fan of either act. He also confirmed he won’t be attending Sunday’s game.

Super Bowl LX will kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET, with Bad Bunny’s halftime show expected to start around 8:00 pm ET, depending on gameplay.
