In this letter, we will focus on the Klein–Gordon equation with rotating axially symmetric black hole solution of the Einstein–Bumblebee theory, so called the Kerr–Bumblebee black hole, as its 3 + 1 background space-time. We start with constructing the covariant Klein–Gordon equation component by component and with the help of the ansatz of separation of variables, we successfully separate the polar part and found the exact solution in terms of Spheroidal Harmonics while the radial exact solution is discovered in terms of the Confluent Heun function. The quantization of the quasibound state is done by applying the polynomial condition of the Confluent Heun function that is resulted in a complex-valued energy levels expression for a massive scalar field, where the real part is the scalar particle’s energy while the imaginary part represents the quasibound stats’s decay. And for a massless scalar, a pure imaginary energy levels is obtained. The quasibound states, thus, describe the decaying nature of the relativistic scalar field bound in the curved Kerr–Bumblebee space-time. We also investigate the Hawking radiation of the Kerr–Bumblebee black hole’s apparent horizon via the Damour–Ruffini method by making use the obtained exact scalar’s wave functions. The radiation distribution function and the Hawking temperature are successfully obtained.
