Kelce Addresses False Claims
On October 14, 2025, Kelce expressed his concerns over fake quotes circulating on social media that wrongly attributed comments to him. “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,” he stated, articulating his frustration with the misinformation.
Kelce emphasized that unless information comes directly from his verified account, it should be regarded as untrue. He thanked X for their efforts in marking false quotes while refraining from naming the accounts responsible for the misattributions.
Controversy Surrounding Bad Bunny
Bad Bunny, a three-time Grammy-winning artist from Puerto Rico, has faced backlash primarily from conservative commentators about his selection to headline the halftime show. Figures such as House Speaker Mike Johnson have labeled Bad Bunny as a “terrible choice,” questioning his appeal to a wider audience.
