Jason Kelce Clears Up Misinformation Regarding Fake Quotes on Social Media

In a world where misinformation can spread rapidly, Jason Kelce, the retired Philadelphia Eagles center, took it upon himself to address a specific incident involving a fabricated statement about Bad Bunny’s 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show. This situation illuminated the broader issue of digital literacy and the critical need for verifying online content.

A widely circulated quote falsely attributed to Kelce suggested that critics of Bad Bunny’s selection for the Super Bowl were “a bad fit for America’s future.” This statement gained traction among various social media circles, causing confusion and spreading misinformation.

“But please know, unless you hear something directly from me via one of my platforms, it is not real,” Kelce emphasized in his post, aiming to set the record straight and urging his followers to double-check the sources of information they encounter online.

The announcement in September that Bad Bunny would headline the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show had already sparked considerable debate. The choice of a Spanish-speaking artist led to polarized opinions, with some political figures and groups expressing disapproval in culturally charged terms.

Amidst this controversy, Jason Kelce’s purported comments were fabricated and shared widely without verification. Kelce has previously expressed his admiration for Bad Bunny, particularly praising his performance in Happy Gilmore 2 on the ‘New Heights’ podcast, an opinion shared by Taylor Swift who appeared as a guest.

Kelce’s proactive stance on misinformation not only highlights his commitment to truth but also serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible social media use. Below is Jason Kelce’s actual tweet clarifying the situation:
