CLAIM: An image authentically shows Bad Bunny burning an American flag onstage ahead of the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show.
RATING: ORIGINATED AS SATIRE
In early February 2026, an image purporting to show singer Bad Bunny wearing a dress while holding a burning American flag onstage circulated widely online. The image prompted angry reactions from some users, who framed it as evidence of anti-American sentiment by the artist, who is an American citizen.
The rumor spread amid backlash over the NFL's decision to tap Bad Bunny for the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show, including calls to boycott the performance from prominent conservative figures such as U.S. President Donald Trump.
