### **Jason Kelce Speaks Out Amid Backlash Over Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Performance, Sparking Debate Online**
In the wake of a strongly debated *Super Bowl LX* halftime show headlined by Puerto Rican star **Bad Bunny**, retired NFL center and ESPN analyst **Jason Kelce** recently found himself addressing a swirl of online controversy — not because of what he said about the performance itself, but because of what *false quotes* attributed to him were being shared.
The Super Bowl performance — celebrated by many fans and stars for its cultural flair and message of unity — also drew vocal criticism from some conservative commentators and public figures who argued that Bad Bunny’s Spanish-heavy set was not fitting for such a mainstream American stage. Former President **Donald Trump** was among those critics, calling the show “absolutely terrible” and suggesting it failed to reflect traditional American values.
Amid these divisions online, a post began circulating on social media platforms claiming Kelce had weighed in on the Super Bowl dispute with a provocative statement about Bad Bunny critics. Kelce quickly clarified that the quote was *completely fabricated* and not something he ever said. In a statement on X (formerly Twitter), he warned followers against trusting unattributed comments and urged people to rely only on his verified posts for his actual views.
Kelce’s move to clear the record highlights a broader issue affecting many public figures today: the speed at which *misinformation* can spread and entangle personalities in debates they never chose to join. While he has not publicly shared a detailed opinion on Bad Bunny’s performance itself, his intervention was widely noted online and helped temper some of the more misleading narratives
