‘I’m not going to understand that’: Gee asks for a Super Bowl halftime show substitute

Oct 19, 2025, 5:00 AM

This year’s Super Bowl halftime show performance will feature the Grammy Award-winning musician, Bad Bunny, which was followed by major controversy as a petition to remove the Puerto Rican singer has received more than 10,000 signatures.

As the petition called for country singer George Strait as a substitute, KIRO host Gee Scott divulged his personal dissatisfaction with the choice and summarized why many viewers across the U.S. may oppose the selection on “The Gee and Ursula Show” on KIRO Newsradio.

“My daughter loves Bad Bunny, a lot of people do, but I am actually on the side of the Conservatives and whoever out there,” Gee said. “In 2020, it was Shakira and Jennifer Lopez, 2021 was The Weeknd, and in 2022 it was Dr. Dre, Snoop, and Eminem. People are thinking, ‘Can we get something for us next time?’ Then you gave them Kendrick Lamar last year, and they pushed the limits.

“I’m not saying George Strait, but Jay Z, who makes the decision, can you give us something? Give some love,” Gee continued. “You’re going to hit me with Kendrick Lamar last year, and I didn’t understand that. Then you hit me with Bad Bunny, I’m not going to understand that either.”

Watch the full discussion in the video above.

Listen to Gee and Ursula on “The Gee and Ursula Show” weekday mornings from 9 am to 12 pm on KIRO Newsradio.
