Diplo’s ‘Bush’ Cameo in Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Debunked as AI-Generated

Visual mismatches—costumes, missing set pieces, a roofed venue—signaled the clip was not from Levi’s Stadium.

Overview

  • Diplo posted a short video to X captioned “Camo on the field,” with on-screen text reading “Surprise,” purporting to show him in a grass costume on the Super Bowl field.
  • Billboard and the San Francisco Chronicle reported the clip was AI-generated, citing multiple discrepancies with the actual halftime production.
  • Reporters noted the costume in the video differed from the taller, spikier suits worn by Bad Bunny’s field team and that the shot lacked visible set elements used in the show.
  • The video depicted a roofed stadium even though Levi’s Stadium is open-air, and outlets said Diplo was unlikely to have been among the halftime field performers.
  • The post drew lighthearted reactions on social media, while Nielsen data put Bad Bunny’s halftime audience at 128.2 million, the fourth largest on record.
