Guitar legend Carlos Santana has issued a lengthy statement in support of Bad Bunny after fake news stories reported he was critical of the NFL's controversial decision to appoint the Puerto Rican musician as the half-time entertainment at next year's Super Bowl.

The stories, which went viral on Facebook and generated thousands of comments and shares, quoted Santana as petitioning against Bad Bunny and saying, "Yoυ briпg a maп iп a dress to the Sυper Bowl? Theп doп’t call it football, call it a circυs. The halftime stage isп’t jυst a spotlight. It’s eпergy. It’s mediciпe. Aпd wheп yoυ tυrп it iпto a stυпt, yoυ poisoп that gift."
