While performing “NUEVAYoL” – a song considered to be a tribute to immigrants and Puerto Rico’s diaspora in New York – Bad Bunny was seen giving a Grammy statuette to a young boy who seconds before was watching the moment the musician won the award on TV, alongside two adults.The young boy was played by a child actor named Lincoln Fox Ramadan, who was cast based on his resemblance to a young Bad Bunny. The segment was meant to symbolize the artist handing a Grammy to his younger self, a representative from Ramadan’s talent agency W Group told CNN on Sunday.Wendy Woods, talent agent, owner and CEO of The W Group Artists and Entertainment group in Florida, said she was “blown away” by Ramadan’s performance and was “honored” to help him get on the stage with Bad Bunny.For a brief moment, the Internet ran with rumors that the boy was Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old who was taken into ICE custody in Minneapolis and placed with his father in a family detention facility in Texas, before being released earlier this month while his case plays out.Though ultimately untrue, the moment could be seen as a message of support to immigrants across the U.S., harkening back as it did to the night Bad Bunny aligned himself with those calling for an end to the Trump administration’s unprecedented immigration crackdown.
