Charlamagne tha God slams Megyn Kelly, Jesse Watters over Bad Bunny outrage instead of Epstein files

SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA: Radio host Charlamagne tha God unleashed on conservative commentators Megyn Kelly and Jesse Watters Tuesday, Feb 10, arguing their fury over Bad Bunny’s Spanish-language Super Bowl halftime show should be redirected at the Justice Department’s handling of Jeffrey Epstein files.

'The Breakfast Club' host awarded his daily 'Donkey of the Day' segment to Kelly, Watters and “everyone who is highly, and I mean, highly upset” over the performance, which featured Puerto Rican artist Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio performing entirely in Spanish.

Charlamagne began, “Yes, donkey today for Tuesday, February 10th, goes to Megyn Kelly, Jesse Watters, and everyone who is highly, and I mean, highly upset over Bad Bunny’s performance at the Super Bowl. We knew there was going to be criticism. There is nothing in life that doesn’t receive criticism."

"Okay, I tell you all about the rule of 10 all the time… Personally, I’m one of the people who liked it. I loved it. I don’t have to know the words to know the vibes. All right. Positive energy is contagious, and there was a lot of positive energy coming from that stage," he explained. "If you can find a way to be mad at a man for performing in front of hundreds of millions of people and saying the only thing more powerful than hate is love, then I have to be the first to tell you that you probably missed a message."

The talk show host noted how President Donald Trump said the Super Bowl halftime show was absolutely terrible, "but then you have Megyn Kelly and Jesse Watters, mad that the whole show was done in Spanish."

Kelly fumed, "To get up there and perform the whole show in Spanish is a middle finger to the rest of America… The halftime show and everything around it needs to stay quintessentially American. Not Spanish, not Muslim, not anything other than good old-fashioned American apple pie. There should be a meatloaf, maybe some fried chicken, and an English-speaking performer."

Meanwhile, Watters ranted, "I like the Super Bowl not to be an international event… You see all these foreigners speaking a foreign language with foreign flags marching into the camera like a caravan… This was an open borders moment."

Charlamagne continued, “Jesse Watters, Megyn Kelly. The way y’all acting over Bad Bunny is how y’all should be acting over the Epstein list. Okay, yesterday lawmakers Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie was supposed to be reviewing some of the Epstein files under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which Khanna and Massie co-authored. And guess what? They were still redacted."

"In fact, Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie said the Justice Department redacted the names of at least six men who are likely incriminated by their inclusion in the Epstein files. Why aren’t you outraged about that, Megyn Kelly and Jesse Watters? That’s what people should be upset about. Okay, they should be upset about how the government is playing in our face and protecting powerful men who are potentially p**ophiles," he added.

He closed by praising America’s “melting pot” and saying the performance made him want to learn Spanish. “Please give Jesse Watters and Megyn Kelly the biggest hee-haw. Jesus Christ.”

Epstein Files redaction controversy, Charlamagne tha God calls out hypocrisy

Charlamagne’s rant coincided with fresh revelations about the Epstein files.

On Monday, Reps Ro Khanna (D-Calif) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky) (co-authors of the 2025 Epstein Files Transparency Act) reviewed unredacted documents at the Justice Department. They noted officials had improperly blacked out the names of at least six men “likely incriminated” by their appearance in the records.

Khanna eventually named the six on the House floor Tuesday, including billionaire Leslie Wexner, Dubai logistics CEO Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, and four others whose inclusion appeared in documents without a clear public explanation, including Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonic Leonov, and Nicola Caputo.

Charlamagne noted that 13 non-American-born artists had previously headlined without similar complaints. These included Phil Collins, Enrique Iglesias, U2, Shania Twain, Celine Dion, Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, The Who, Coldplay, Shakira, The Weeknd, and Rihanna, among others.
