Bad Bunny handed his Grammy Award to a young boy during his Super Bowl halftime performance, creating one of the show’s most talked‑about moments.
After the event, many social media users initially claimed the child was 5‑year‑old Liam Conejo Ramos, the Minnesota boy recently detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
One user wrote, “Wait hold up…Did Bad Bunny just give his Grammy to Liam Conejo Ramos the poor kid who was kidnapped by ICE? If so amazing. The sign beforehand said “Conejo” on it too.”
Another added, “Hold up. Did Bad Bunny just give a Grammy to Liam Ramos??? I thought this moment was so touching and meaningful, but if it’s Liam…that times a million.”
A third user expressed, “I’m gonna assume the little boy given the Grammy was Liam Conejo Ramos. If he is Bad Bunny just became a hero for me. Beautifully done.”
However, TMZ and HuffPost confirmed that the boy was actually a child actor named Lincoln Fox Ramadan.
TMZ, citing a source, clarified that the gesture was not political but meant to inspire children to “dream as big as performing at the Super Bowl.”
Who is Liam Conejo Ramos?
Liam Conejo Ramos is a 5‑year‑old Ecuadorian boy who was detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minnesota last month while walking home from preschool with his father, Adrian Conejo Arias.
Photos of him wearing a blue bunny hat and a Spider‑Man backpack drew widespread attention and outrage when federal agents took him into custody alongside his father in Columbia Heights, a suburb of Minneapolis.
Both Liam and his father were transported to an ICE family detention facility in Dilley, Texas. A federal judge ordered their release on January 31, after which they returned to Minnesota.
According to Reuters, both entered the US legally as asylum applicants.
On Friday, the US Department of Homeland Security said it is pursuing the deportation of the boy. The department, however, denied reports that it was seeking expedited removal, after the boy’s lawyer told The New York Times that the Trump administration was attempting to fast-track his deportation.
