Bad Bunny hands a Grammy to Costa Mesa 5-year-old Lincoln Fox at Super Bowl halftime

An 11-second clip from the halftime show. An old TV with rabbit-ear antennas sits in tall grass, showing a man in a tuxedo speaking into a microphone with a gold trophy in hand. Bad Bunny, in a cream outfit, places a hand on Lincoln's head and hands him a golden Grammy gramophone, and Lincoln smiles as he holds it. The audio is a few faint Spanish phrases from the broadcast, not a statement from Lincoln.

A moment from Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show had an Orange County kid at the center of it. The 5-year-old boy Bad Bunny handed a Grammy to was Lincoln Fox Ramadan of Costa Mesa.

Lincoln, tagged in the Juice Unlocked post as @the_lincfox, said he'll remember the day forever.

Who many thought it was

As the clip spread, many viewers thought the boy represented a Minnesota child who went viral after being detained by ICE, and read the handoff as a message about him.

The boy in the moment was actually Lincoln, a local kid from Costa Mesa.

The moment

The scene was set in tall grass next to an old-school TV with rabbit-ear antennas. On the screen, a man in a tuxedo speaks into a microphone while holding a gold trophy.

Lincoln, in a striped polo, watches the TV. Bad Bunny, dressed in cream, puts a hand on his head and gives him the golden gramophone, and Lincoln breaks into a big grin as he holds it.
