Following his Grammy victory for Album of the Year, Bad Bunny performed at the Super Bowl LX halftime show, which concluded with several noteworthy moments.
However, a significant rumor dominated the Internet, claiming that the artist presented his Grammy for DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS to a child previously detained by ICE.
The rumours surfaced amidst an ongoing national debate regarding ICE operations. During the performance, the artist was seen handing his historic Grammy to a child watching from the sidelines. Many viewers speculated that the recipient was five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos-who had recently been released from a Texas detention facility-viewing the gesture as a form of protest against immigration policies.
It has since been established, however, that the child was Lincoln Fox, a young model and not Liam. Lincoln, who is of Egyptian and Argentine descent, has a history of appearing in commercial advertisements.
Because the child was confirmed to be a professional performer rather than the boy from the headlines, it remains unclear whether Bad Bunny intended the gesture to be a specific political statement regarding immigration or simply a moment shared with a co-performer. Earlier on Sunday, Bad Bunny turned Super Bowl LX into a starry night by bringing out some of the biggest names in entertainment for what may go down as one of the most star-studded halftime performances in Super Bowl history. The Puerto Rican superstar hosted a high-energy, joy-filled show at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday, February 8, featuring headlining performances from Ricky Martin and a surprise appearance by Lady Gaga.
But the surprises didn’t stop there as Pedro Pascal, Cardi B, Karol G and Jessica Alba all made cameos, joining the stage.
