LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Bad Bunny on Sunday, February 8, delivered the first Super Bowl halftime show performed almost entirely in Spanish, celebrating Puerto Rican culture, history, and Latino heritage.

Interestingly, following this, a rumor surfaced online claiming that Bad Bunny will be the new voice of Bugs Bunny. But is there any truth to this? Let us find out below.

Claim: Bad Bunny will be the new voice of Bugs Bunny

An X post recently claimed, "Bad Bunny will be the new voice of Bugs Bunny". The post was shared on Friday, February 13, and garnered more than 90,000 views, and more than 4,000 people reacted to the post.

Bad Bunny's Super Bowl LX halftime show drew massive attention, as the full performance is available on YouTube, and a live single was also released on Spotify/Apple Music.

Moreover, viewership for the halftime segment averaged around 128 million, which was strong but short of some prior records.

To sum up, Bunny's performance was considered a bold, high-energy cultural moment that put Puerto Rican and Latin influences front and center on one of the world's biggest stages.

Fact Check: False, the post originated from a parody account

The claims made in the online posts are false, as there is no credible evidence to prove that Bad Bunny will be the new voice of Bugs Bunny. There has been no confirmation from either the Puerto Rican singer or the Warner Bros Studio.

The current voice actor for Bugs Bunny in recent Warner Bros projects is Eric Bauza. He has been voicing Bugs Bunny since 2018, and won multiple Emmy Awards for his work on Looney Tunes-related shows. He continues in the role as of the latest available information.

Interestingly, the rumor appears to stem from a viral parody post on X from @HoopsCrave, which is described as a parody account and is not affiliated with major outlets. The account is known for posting such fake/parody posts.

The post was clearly intended as humor, especially amid recent cultural discussions around Bad Bunny's high-profile Super Bowl LX halftime performance.

Though some users treated it seriously and some spread it as a joke, there's no credible evidence, from news sources, Warner Bros announcements, voice actor credits, or official statements, claiming any casting change.

Bugs Bunny's voice history goes back to Mel Blanc, followed by actors like Jeff Bergman, Billy West, Joe Alaskey, and now primarily Eric Bauza. No reports show Bad Bunny is involved as the new voice for the character.
