During Bad Bunny’s performance at the Super Bowl halftime show, the musician handed one of his Grammy awards to a child. Internet users thought it was Liam Ramos, 5, who was detained by ICE in January.

“DID BENITO GIVE HIS GRAMMY TO LIAM RAMOS? I didn’t even notice it was him, I thought it was like a mini version of him. MY HEART,” exclaimed a user on X, formerly Twitter.

The child appearing in Bad Bunny’s performance is young actor Lincoln Fox, according to Philip Lewis, editor at HuffPost.

Lincoln Fox was sitting and watching the show on TV, representing a younger version of the singer. “That message like ‘dream big / dreams come true,’” commented another user on X.

Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, were detained by ICE agents while returning home after the child’s preschool class in Minnesota.

The two were sent to the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas. On January 31, a Minnesota judge ordered both of them to be released from detention.

Bad Bunny was the first musician to perform a Super Bowl halftime show entirely in Spanish. The performance featured celebrities like Pedro Pascal, Cardi B, Jessica Alba, Karol G, Lady Gaga, and Ricky Martin.
