Bad Bunny built Super Bowl 60 around a message, then dropped one viral moment right in the middle of it. During the Apple Music halftime show on Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.
, the Puerto Rican star walked into a living-room set and handed a Grammy trophy to a young boy on camera.The clip spread fast. So did the theories. But not all of them matched what outlets and sources said after the show.
The boy in Bad Bunny’s halftime moment was Lincoln Fox, not a mystery kid
ABC News reported the moment was designed to symbolize that anyone can chase big dreams, according to a source familiar with the intent. The same reporting identified the child as Lincoln Fox, a 5-year-old actor, and his talent agency also listed him as the boy in the segment.Fox posted the clip on Instagram and wrote: "I’ll remember this day forever! @badbunnypr - it was my truest honor 🐰🏆🏈." ABC News also noted Fox is half Argentinian.
That matters because social media ran with a different theory. Some users claimed the child was Liam Conejo Ramos, a 5-year-old boy who was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Minnesota. The speculation popped up because the show referenced Bad Bunny’s Grammy speech from Feb.
2, when he said: "Before I say thanks to God, I'm going to say, ICE out," and followed with: "The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love.
"
Bad Bunny’s show leaned into culture and politics, and the Grammy hand-off became the headline
Bad Bunny’s performance threaded Puerto Rican imagery through the set, and he carried a Puerto Rican flag during the show. He also ran through hits like “Tití Me Preguntó” and brought out high-profile cameos, including Ricky Martin, Jessica Alba, Karol G, and Cardi B, according to coverage in the content you shared from NBC and the AP photo caption.
Variety also described the performance as unity-themed and packed with political nods, including the on-screen line: "The only thing more powerful than hate is love," which echoed his Grammy message.Whether viewers saw hope, protest, or both, the takeaway stayed the same: Bad Bunny made a 13-minute set feel like a statement, and that Grammy hand-off became the image people couldn’t stop replaying.
