“He wants the fame, not the flag.” – NFL legend Eric Dickerson IGNITES FIRESTORM after slamming Bad Bunny with a brutal on-air remark, saying if the superstar “doesn’t respect America, he should just keep his *ss in Puerto Rico.” Fans are stunned, celebrities are reacting, and tensions are exploding across social media.

What began as a casual sports segment turned into a cultural earthquake when Dickerson’s comment went viral overnight. Supporters are praising him for “saying what others won’t,” while critics are calling it a “reckless and tone-deaf attack” that exposes deeper divides in pop culture. As the debate spirals, the question isn’t just about Bad Bunny anymore – it’s about how far celebrities can go before they spark national outrage.

What pushed Dickerson to speak out so fiercely, and how is Bad Bunny’s camp planning to respond? The full story behind the fiery exchange is unfolding now – and it’s messier than anyone expected.

Eric Dickerson is urging Bad Bunny to pull out of the Super Bowl halftime show if he is, indeed, not a fan of the United States … saying the “Tití Me Preguntó” crooner should straight up “keep his ass where he’s at” if he truly feels some type of way about the Red, White and Blue.

The NFL legend made his opinion loud and clear during a chat with a photog out at LAX on Monday night … saying he’s “heard some stuff” Bad Bunny’s said about America — and if it’s true, he’d rather anyone else play during February’s big game.

“I’m from the U.S.,” Dickerson said. “I love my country. And if you don’t like the United States, just get your ass out of here and don’t come over here.”

When Dickerson was reminded Puerto Rico — where Bad Bunny’s from — is a U.S. territory, he still stood by his stance.

“I know Puerto Rico is part of the U.S.,” the ex-Rams tailback said. “But, it’s not the U.S. That’s the way I look at it. That’s the way I feel.”

Bad Bunny, of course, is no stranger to making waves in the political world. He’s not only been critical of Donald Trump … but he also recently revealed his “DeBí TiRAR MáS FOToS” tour did not stop in continental U.S. soil over possible ICE raids at the venues.

On Saturday night, he sparked even more headlines when he said if people don’t understand his native tongue, they “have four months to learn.”

Clearly, Dickerson sees all that as Bad Bunny throwing some shade America’s way.

“If Bad Bunny said something about the U.S., don’t come here and perform,” Dickerson said. “You know, don’t come here.”

“Stay in your country.”
