Former NFL offensive lineman Jason Kelce is going viral on social media Tuesday, but it’s not his fault at all.
A few weeks ago, the NFL announced that Bad Bunny will headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show. The Grammy Award winner known for hits such as “Titi Me Pregunto” has received plenty of criticism on social media over the past few weeks. In fact, President Donald Trump called it an “absolutely ridiculous” choice by the NFL.
The NFL, however, is confident Bad Bunny will thrive at Levi’s Stadium on February 8, 2026.
“Bad Bunny represents the global energy and cultural vibrancy that define today’s music scene. As one of the most influential and streamed artists in the world, his unique ability to bridge genres, languages, and audiences makes him an exciting and natural choice to take the Super Bowl halftime stage,” said Jon Baker, the SVP of Global Event Production for the NFL. “We know his dynamic performances, creative vision, and deep connection with fans will deliver the kind of unforgettable experience we’ve come to expect from this iconic cultural moment.”

Did Kelce comment on Bad Bunny?
On Tuesday afternoon, a social media post featuring this fake quote from Kelce generated plenty of buzz on X: “If Bad Bunny is a bad fit for the Super Bowl, then maybe the people making these comments are a bad fit for America’s future.”
That post led to people criticizing Kelce online. He eventually addressed this controversy on Tuesday night.
“I normally don’t comment on things like this, but I feel I need to address that there are a number of accounts posting fake quotes and attributing them to me on this platform right now,” Kelce wrote. “I appreciate @X putting community notes on several and I will not address the other accounts specifically, because I do not want to amplify their engagement. But please know, unless you hear something directly from me via one of my platforms, it is not real.”
This probably isn’t the first time Kelce has dealt with imposters. That being said, he made the right decision releasing a statement on this messy situation.
