However, sports news personality Robert Littal called out Smith, suggesting that Trump won't stop Bad Bunny from performing at the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show.

"You have to be more specific dog. You said the WNBA? Angel Reese? Caitlin Clark? He’s not stopping Bad Bunny from performing. Most professional league owners have donated him, so can you be a little more specific Mr. A who he’s coming for? He hates Terry Rozier?' Littal tweeted on Thursday.

In September, the NFL announced that Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny will headline the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show. However, fans had mixed reactions, with many slamming the league's decision.

A few weeks ago, Trump weighed in on the NFL's decision to bring Bad Bunny to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show.

“I don’t know who he (Bad Bunny) is. I don’t know why they’re doing it — it’s, like, crazy,” Trump said in an interview with Newsmax’s Greg Kelly. “They blame it on some promoter they hired to pick up entertainment. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous.”

On Thursday, it was reported that the FBI arrested more than 30 individuals as part of the NBA's betting scandal. Now, Smith believes the Trump administration could make a drastic move in the NFL involving Bad Bunny.
