Bad Bunny Halftime Child Was Actor Lincoln Fox, Not Liam Ramos

Primary sources confirmed the identity after a viral post wrongly tied the moment to a recent ICE detention case.

Overview

  • A publicist for Bad Bunny told NPR Music the boy onstage was not Liam Conejo Ramos, a determination also affirmed by a representative for the Ramos family to Minnesota Public Radio.
  • The child was identified as 5-year-old actor and model Lincoln Fox, who posted on Instagram about the cameo shortly after the show.
  • Ed Krassenstein’s X post incorrectly naming the child as Ramos drew millions of views before he updated the claim, and Community Notes cited Fox’s Instagram to correct the record.
  • A representative for Fox’s talent agency said the vignette was meant to portray Bad Bunny handing a Grammy to his younger self.
  • Liam Ramos and his father were detained in Minnesota in January and later released by court order, a case that had drawn wide attention as Bad Bunny’s recent performances highlighted Latino and immigrant themes.
