This spread of this content is a prime example of how misinformation spreads online. The video’s identifying information had been chopped away by the time it hit X, making it difficult to find the original post.
Is the Bad Bunny video real or fake?
As soon as the photographs were distributed, users’ reactions were divided. Some say that the person who appears to be Bad Bunny is actually Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. The person is wearing a cap, and the dim lighting in the arena makes it difficult to tell if it is the singer or not.
According to some internet users, it is Bad Bunny and, in fact, some added that the cap he is wearing in the video has been seen on several occasions in some of his most recent public appearances.

As per his one fan, the rapper reportedly partied at Barstool Nashville, which is not a gay bar, following his May 11 show in Tennessee. He took selfies with admirers and seemed to be having a nice day overall. The original clip appears to validate the location, as it is marked with the bar’s name.
The name seen in the video with him is said to be Bad Bunny’s youngest brother, Bysael Martínez Ocasio.
