• Bad Bunny performed a 13-minute set at the Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday, Feb. 8.
  • The internet quickly spread a rumor that the child featured in Bad Bunny’s halftime show was 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, who was recently detained by ICE along with his father.
  • Here’s the kid who really shared the meaningful moment with Bad Bunny on stage.

Ever since Bad Bunny took the stage at Levi’s Stadium for his historic Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday, February 8, the internet can’t seem to stop talking about it. His beautifully symbolic performance was an ode to his homeland, Puerto Rico (which, by the way, is very much a U.S. territory), and sparked a ton of chatter online. From star-studded surprise guests like Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin to the Latine powerhouses who partied in his onstage casita, there was much to discuss.

One of the main questions the internet has about Bad Bunny’s halftime show is about the little kid who joined him on stage for a sweet moment. Calling back to his recent Album of the Year win at the Grammys, the “DtMF” musician handed the award to a young boy, who was watching his acceptance speech on a vintage TV with his parents.

“Always believe in yourself,” he told the kid, in Spanish, as he knelt to his level and playfully rubbed his head.

A lot of people falsely suggested that the child was actually Liam Conejo Ramos, the five-year-old who was wrongfully detained by ICE along with his father, Adrian Conejo, at his preschool in Minnesota on January 20. According to MPR News, the father and son have since been released from a Texas detention center and the family is claiming asylum, though the federal government is pushing against their claims.

To answer the internet’s question: No, the kid who appeared with Bad Bunny during his Super Bowl halftime show wasn’t Liam Ramos. The boy you saw was actually actor Lincoln Fox, whose rep shared a sweet message on his behalf after his cameo at Levi’s Stadium. “I’ll remember this day forever! @badbunnypr – it was my truest honor 🐰🏆🏈,” his Instagram post recapping the moment reads.

On top of that, the rumor has been debunked by reps for both Bad Bunny and Liam’s family, as one of the rapper’s publicists confirmed to NPR Music that the little boy who joined him at the Super Bowl was not Liam Ramos. A rep for the family also told Minnesota Public Radio that Liam was not involved in the performance.

There ya have it!
