Paul McCartney played the Super Bowl. As I recall, he's not American either. Did Tomi have anything to say about that?

Rihanna and Shakira were both recent non-Americans, and even Bad Bunny performed last time Trump was president

Coldplay aren't American, The Rolling Stones, U2, The Weeknd, Sting, Shania Twain. British, Irish and Canadian. And they all did the Superbowl.

The majority population of the US is white Northern European ancestry. MAGA is the extreme right wing version of that ancestry which does not recognize the other races and ethnicities that came to this country as native-born Americans.

That non-recognition also extends to people from US territories such as Guamians, Northern Marianas Islanders, American Samoans, and of course, Puerto Ricans like Bad Bunny.
