Bad Bunny came under scrutiny as he appeared to remain seated during \u201cGod Bless America\u201d at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night <\/a>during a playoff game between the\u00a0New York Yankees\u00a0and Toronto Blue Jays, according to a report.<\/p>\n

TMZ Sports<\/a>\u00a0first obtained the photo that appeared to show the Grammy Award-winning artist about three rows behind home plate sitting with his friends while fans around them stood, some with hands over their hearts.<\/p>\n

A video posted by the outlet appeared to show the crowd singing in unison, \u201cguide her,\u201d while he is seated.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to Bad Bunny\u2019s agency and the Yankees for comment.<\/p>\n

An AI check on the photo didn\u2019t raise any alarms.<\/p>\n

Bad Bunny was thrust into the national spotlight as it was announced he was chosen to be\u00a0Super Bowl LV\u2019s\u00a0halftime show performer.<\/a><\/p>\n

Since then, the Puerto Rico native\u2019s remarks about US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers have been put in the spotlight.<\/p>\n

Bad Bunny said in September he didn\u2019t book any US dates on his tour over fears that his fans would be detained by ICE agents.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut there was the issue of \u2014 like, f\u2013king ICE could be outside [my concert]. And it\u2019s something that we were talking about and very concerned about,\u201d he told i-D.<\/p>\n

In June, he\u00a0recorded and posted video\u00a0of what he described as local ICE raids to social media in Puerto Rico.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, those motherf\u2013kers are in these cars, RAV-4s. They\u2019re here in Pontezuela,\u201d he said in Spanish, mentioning ICE working on the Avenida Pontezuela in Carolina, a city east of Puerto Rico\u2019s capital, San Juan.<\/p>\n

\u201cSons of bitches, instead of leaving the people alone and working there,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Since then, Bad Bunny has been seen at sporting events in the US and hosted \u201cSaturday Night Live.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bad Bunny came under scrutiny as he appeared to remain seated during \u201cGod Bless America\u201d at Yankee Stadium…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":200460,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,27272,134,591,125338,2704,85,9274,125339],"class_list":["post-200459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-bad-bunny","tag-entertainment","tag-mlb","tag-national-anthem-protests","tag-new-york-yankees","tag-sports","tag-sports-entertainment","tag-yankee-stadium"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200459","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=200459"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200459\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/200460"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=200459"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=200459"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=200459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
