The claim came from a Facebook account named @DavidJHarrisJr under the caption “DAYUM!”. It read, “Kid Rock didn’t hold back, declaring: ‘You bring a man in a dress to the Super Bowl? Then don’t call it football, call it a circus.’”
The post further alleged that Rock saw the Super Bowl stage as a “symbol of strength and American spirit” and would “walk away as an NFL fan” if Bad Bunny performed.

Fact Check: The claim that Kid Rock criticized Bad Bunny is false
There is no record of Kid Rock ever making such remarks about Bad Bunny. His verified Facebook page shows only two recent posts — one sharing a “Ticketing update” video and another from a hunting trip captioned, “Thanks to Huntnest and Outfit ECO for a monumental Antelope hunt! Also to my new Polish friends @ https://limon-safari-inn.com! Rock on Eastern Colorado!"
Since September 28, when the NFL announced Bad Bunny as the 2026 Super Bowl performer, Kid Rock has not commented on the rapper. His YouTube channel has been inactive since May 23, 2025.
His X (formerly Twitter) account posts about ticketing issues, his Detroit steakhouse, Michigan politics, and support for Vice President JD Vance. None of his posts mention the NFL, Bad Bunny, or any comments on attire.
On Instagram, Kid Rock recent posts also have no reference to the Super Bowl or Bad Bunny, featuring only a short clip about his songs.
The Facebook post is one of several that have used Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl announcement to spread fake outrage. Though fabricated, it quickly went viral, underscoring how misinformation continues to gain traction online.
