Jason Kelce Speaks Out After Fake Bad Bunny Super Bowl Quote Goes Viral

Plenty of people within the sports community have made comments on Roc Nation's decision to have Puerto Rican musician Bad Bunny perform at Super Boxl LX's halftime show, but Jason Kelce wants you to know he isn't one of them.

Fake Viral Quote Attributed to Kelce

Over the weekend, a remark credited to Kelce went viral on X, suggesting that the former Philadelphia Eagles center-turned-commentator not only supported the musical selection, but also condemned those outwardly against it.

The post read, "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.”

On Tuesday evening, Kelce made it clear that he had not made any such remarks. "I normally don’t comment on things like this, but I feel I need to address that there are a number of accounts posting fake quotes and attributing them to me on this platform right now," he wrote on his official X account.

I normally don’t comment on things like this, but I feel I need to address that there are a number of accounts posting fake quotes and attributing them to me on this platform right now. I appreciate @X putting community notes on several and I will not address the other accounts…

"I appreciate @X putting community notes on several and I will not address the other accounts specifically, because I do not want to amplify their engagement. But please know, unless you hear something directly from me via one of my platforms, it is not real."

Kelce, who retired from the NFL in 2024 after 13 seasons, now does coverage for Monday Night Football on ESPN.

Opinions have been flying ever since it was announced earlier this month that Bad Bunny had been tapped as the halftime show performer, with a petition even emerging to replace the musician.

Bad Bunny's Performance Has Become a Flashpoint

Much of the controversy stems from a decision of Bad Bunny's, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, to not tour within the mainland United States. In an interview with i-D magazine in September, the rapper explained his stance amidst a residency in Puerto Rico, pointing to an uptick in deportations of Latinos across the United States.

"There were many reasons why I didn’t show up in the US, and none of them were out of hate—I’ve performed there many times. All of [the shows] have been successful. All of them have been magnificent. I’ve enjoyed connecting with Latinos who have been living in the US But specifically, for a residency here in Puerto Rico, when we are an unincorporated territory of the US… People from the US could come here to see the show. Latinos and Puerto Ricans of the United States could also travel here, or to any part of the world. But there was the issue of—like, f---ing ICE could be outside [my concert]. And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about."

Last week, Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson voiced his disdain for the musical selection, telling TMZ Sports, “If Bad Bunny don’t like the United States, keep his a-- where he at." He added, "I'm not surprised the NFL would do something like this."

“I’m from the U.S.,” he continued. “I love my country. And if you don’t like the United States, just get your a-- out of here and don’t come over here.”

Bad Bunny, as a native of Puerto Rico, is a United States citizen.

Meanwhile, former halftime show performers Shakira and Jennifer Lopez have voiced support for the star rapper, who currently stands as one of the world's most popular artists.
