A social media blunder led to the misidentification of a boy from Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show as immigration detainee Liam Conejo Ramos. The child was, in fact, actor Lincoln Fox Ramadan.

During Bad Bunny's recent Super Bowl halftime performance, social media users mistakenly identified a child named Liam Conejo Ramos, who was detained by immigration officials, as the boy on stage. However, the boy was identified as Lincoln Fox Ramadan, a 5-year-old child actor from California. Following the event, Lincoln shared his experience on Instagram, emphasizing the importance of dreams and expressing solidarity with Liam.

Social media users incorrectly identified a small boy who appeared in Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show as Liam Conejo Ramos, a 5-year-old who allegedly faced immigration detention in Minnesota. The actual child onstage was Lincoln Fox Ramadan, a child actor from Costa Mesa, California.

After Bad Bunny performed, the cameras revealed Lincoln watching as the artist gratefully accepted his Grammy for album of the year. In a memorable moment, Bad Bunny gifted Lincoln what appeared to be a Grammy trophy.

The claim that Bad Bunny handed his Grammy to Liam Conejo Ramos is incorrect; the boy was Lincoln Fox Ramadan.

Grateful for his appearance, Lincoln expressed on Instagram, 'An emotional, unforgettable day being cast as the young Benito — a symbolic moment where the future hands the past a Grammy.' He emphasized that dreams come true and that it’s never too early to dream big.

Lincoln also conveyed his support for Liam Ramos through his caption, highlighting the shared humanity of all immigrants in the United States.

Lincoln’s Instagram account reflects his memorable experiences, including modeling for major brands like Walmart and Target.

In a broader context, Liam and his father were detained by immigration officials in a Minneapolis suburb before they were ultimately returned after a judge's order. This incident stirred considerable outrage regarding the treatment of immigrants during this administration.

Bad Bunny has made significant achievements in music, winning a total of six Grammys, with his latest album making history as the first Spanish-language album to win the Grammy for album of the year.
