Bad Bunny handed his Grammy award to a child during the Super Bowl halftime show. But who was the boy? Here’s what we know.
WASHINGTON — One particular moment in Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show caught the attention of viewers and sent many looking for answers.
During the historic halftime show performance, Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, was seen handing his Grammy award to a young boy who was watching a clip of the singer’s recent Grammy speech.
Who exactly was the child in the halftime show?
Some viewers were quick to claim online the child was Liam Ramos, a 5-year-old from Minnesota who was detained by immigration officers in Minnesota and held at an ICE facility in Texas. A photo of Liam went viral after ICE agents detained him at school pickup at Valley View Elementary School in Columbia Heights.
However, that doesn’t appear to be the case.
Instead, the boy seems to be a child actor by the name of Lincoln Fox.
Social media users found Fox’s Instagram after his halftime show moment and noticed a clip of Bad Bunny’s performance had been posted.
“I’ll remember this day forever,” Fox’s account wrote.
Bad Bunny performed his halftime show entirely in Spanish — as all of his music is recorded in the language, though he has collaborated with English-language artists. The only English singing came from a surprise appearance by Lady Gaga.
There were also some additional celebrity guests: Cardi B, Jessica Alba, Pedro Pascal, Karol G, Young Miko, Ronald Acuña Jr., Alix Earle and Dave Grutman were guests at his pari de marquesina (“house party”).
The wedding during Bad Bunny’s halftime show was real
A couple was actually married during the wedding scene at Bad Bunny’s halftime show.
Representatives for the artist say the couple invited Bad Bunny to their wedding, and he invited them to instead be part of his Super Bowl show.
During a segment where Lady Gaga joined Bad Bunny to perform “Baile Inolvidable,” they took their vows.
Bad Bunny served as a witness and signed their marriage certificate.
