Oop! Did Chris Brown Shade Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Performance?

Breezy Bowl, but make it official, official? That seemed to be the energy Chris Brown was giving off on social media following the Super Bowl Halftime show. Bad Bunny was tapped to perform this year, and he brought Puerto Rico to the stadium, from the sugar cane fields to the domino matches. The internet is STILL sounding off about the performance and what it meant to the Latin community.

Chris Brown Says “They” Need Him

One thing about Breezy, he’s got the confidence to say what he wants to say! Chris slid on IG Story, seemingly after Bad Bunny’s performance on Sunday. He dropped a written text that read like he wasn’t impressed by how Benito made the Bowl his own.

“I THINK IT’S SAFE TO SAY…THEY NEED ME,” he wrote.

That’s it, and that’s all he wrote aside from adding a slick-smile emoticon. So far, he hasn’t shared any additional thoughts on the Super Bowl or who should take the stage next.

Breezy Wasn’t Always Aiming For The Halftime Stage

This isn’t the first time Breezy has been vocal about the Super Bowl. Though, two years ago, he was singing a much different tune! In February 2023, Chris Brown riled up his fans after commenting “Go girl,” amid Rihanna’s halftime performance, in which she announced her second pregnancy. Soon after that, he shared a photo from Dublin, and in the comment section he cleared the air on expectations of seeing him on the Super Bowl stage.

“….never shawty,” Chris Brown wrote in response to “When are you performing at the Super Bowl. We need you at the next one!!!!He added, “American media AINT FA me. Rather be where I’m welcomed.”
