How False Rumors Spread About the Boy in Bad Bunny’s Halftime Show

One of the most discussed moments from Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show came when the artist handed a young boy a Grammy. But erroneous claims about the child’s identity spread like wildfire as soon as it happened.

The most widely spread claim on Sunday was that the boy featured in the show is Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old whose photo was taken while being separated from his father and detained by ICE in Minnesota, while wearing a blue knit hat with bunny ears.

An X post by left-wing influencer Ed Krassenstein, which misidentified the child as Ramos, has amassed more than 10 million views. But the New York Times reports that the boy is actually a child actor named Lincoln Fox Ramadan.
