A publicist for Bad Bunny confirmed to NPR that the young boy wearing a blue bunny hat, who was detained by ICE in Minneapolis last month, was not part of the artist’s Super Bowl halftime show. This clarification addresses circulating misinformation linking the child to the event.
The publicist emphasized that the child seen in the viral image is unrelated to the performance, which featured dancers and performers selected by the production team. The mix-up appears to have arisen from visual similarities and social media speculation.
**Why this matters**
The incorrect association spread widely on social media, contributing to confusion and emotional responses regarding immigration enforcement. Accurate information helps prevent misunderstandings and ensures public discussions are based on verified facts.
