Where And How Did The Rumor Originate?

The rumor about Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl 60 in a dress originated from an AI-generated image. The image claims to show Bad Bunny purportedly burning a US flag on stage during a concert. The debunked post was shared by many, including some who falsely claimed that it was from a rehearsal of Sunday evening's performance.

Bad Bunny has worn dress-like outfits on several occasions, including a black Burberry gown at the 2021 Grammys. He has also worn gown-inspired designs at high-profile events like the Met Gala. The rumor further gained ground amid this context.
