TheFederal Communications Commissionsought transcripts of Bad Bunny'sSuper Bowl halftime show performancefrom Comcast's NBC following concerns raised by a Republican lawmaker that the broadcast could violate federal indecency regulations.
The development was confirmed by a commission member Wednesday.
FCCCommissioner Anna Gomez said she reviewed theSpanish-language transcripts.
"I reviewed them carefully, and I found no violation of our rules and no justification for harassing broadcasters over a standard live performance," Gomez stated, dismissing the lawmaker's suggestion.
Multiple Republicanpoliticiansexpressed outrage over the Puerto Rican’s performance, done solely in Spanish.
Florida Rep. Randy Fine took to X to deem Bad Bunny's performance "illegal," calling for the FCC investigate it.
His post included screenshots of supposed translated lyrics of one of Bad Bunny's songs.
“Bad Bunny’s disgusting halftime show was illegal. Had he said these lyrics -- and all of the other disgusting and pornographic filth in English on live TV, the broadcast would have been pulled down and the fines would have been enormous,” Fine said.
Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles mirrored Fine’s sentiment, saying that the "performance's lyrics openly glorified sodomy and countless other unspeakable depravities."
The Puerto Rican superstar, 31, made history as the first artist to perform a halftime show entirely in Spanish, as well as becoming the first Latin solo act to take on one of the world’s most coveted gigs.
