Jason Kelce set the record straight after a fake quote running under his name put him in the limelight. In a recent clarification over the now viral made-up quotes from the ex-Eagles on Bad Bunny’s performance at the 2026 Super Bowl, Kelce bluntly denied any such claims. However, while doing so, the 37-year-old might have made a blunder in his clarification.

The former Eagles’ star took to his X account and wrote, “I normally don’t comment on things like this, but I feel I need to address that there are several accounts posting fake quotes and attributing them to me on this platform right now.”

Jason even thanked X for its community feature, where users can easily call out such fake news/quotes. “I appreciate @X putting community notes on several, and I will not address the other accounts specifically, because I do not want to amplify their engagement. But please know, unless you hear something directly from me via one of my platforms, it is not real.”

But here is the catch: X does not issue any community notes, as they are completely driven by users. This works very simply; the people who choose to contribute to this can leave notes on any post, and if different contributors rate it as helpful, it will be accessible to the public on a post; however, the reverse is true as well.

This comment was followed by a series of claims, claiming that Jason had allegedly said, “If Bad Bunny is a bad fit for the Super Bowl, then maybe the people making these comments are a bad fit for America’s future.” In reality, Jason made no such comments, for or against Bad Bunny’s performance on the Super Bowl halftime.

Moreover, the NFL stood by its decision. Jon Baker, the SVP of global event production for the NFL, said, ”Bad Bunny represents the global energy and cultural vibrancy that define today’s music scene. As one of the most influential and streamed artists in the world, his unique ability to bridge genres, languages, and audiences makes him an exciting and natural choice to take the Super Bowl halftime stage.”

Apart from Jason, the renowned fact-checking agency AFP also denied fake news running on the internet about the Puerto Rican singer’s name for a Super Bowl halftime performance next year. The agency denied several fake news stories about the same topic covered on several social media pages.

And as for Jason, this is not the first time something fake has been circulated under Jason Kelce’s name.

Jason Kelce’s fake memorabilia

Back in January this year. Three people allegedly sold memorabilia at approximately $20,000, claiming that Jason Kelce signed it.

However, the signing ceremony did happen back on June 11-12, 2024, where Kelce did sign the merch. One of the three people, attended this event clicked a picture with Kelce so that they could confirm the authenticity of their actions.

One of the victims admitted to paying $4,700 for 40 autographs.

Beckett Authentication, who was responsible for the event, took responsibility for the mishap and apologized to those who were affected, stating, “A bad-acting independent contractor broke Beckett protocols. Luckily, we have identified this scheme, involved the authorities to take all proper legal action, and are now looking to buy back all the fraudulent memorabilia.”

As of now, Jason works with ESPN for “Monday Night Countdown.” And he’ll be back for the Week 7 coverage.
