Jason Kelce has recently addressed a viral false quote attributed to him regarding Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance. The misinformation spread rapidly on social media, leading to significant public reaction.
Background on the Controversy
The fabricated statement suggested that the Philadelphia Eagles center criticized those opposing Bad Bunny’s involvement in the Super Bowl. According to this false quote, Kelce supposedly stated, “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.”
Kelce’s Response to the Misinformation
Kelce took to his X account to clarify the situation. He emphasized that he never made the comments circulating online. In his statement, he mentioned, “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.”
The 37-year-old athlete appreciated the efforts by X to add community notes on several posts but avoided engaging directly with the accounts spreading the misinformation. He urged fans to disregard any quotes not directly sourced from him.
Public Reaction and Implications
The controversy gained traction quickly, with many praising Kelce for his supposed stance. However, his clarification has brought attention to the challenges posed by misinformation on social media.
- Kelce has not publicly shared his true feelings about Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance.
- Despite the confusion, he aims to maintain his public image and integrity.
- The incident highlights the need for critical engagement with social media content.
As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how Kelce will address the matter further and if he will express his actual opinions on the Super Bowl halftime show.
