The claim
A viral image on X of Bad Bunny with more than 960.000 views shows the singer wearing a dress featuring the colors of the transgender pride flag while burning a U.S. flag with a lighter. The image was spread on other social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram as well.
Original review summary
DW says the viral image is not real and identifies it as AI-generated. It cites mismatched tattoos and a SynthID watermark detected by Google’s Gemini among the indicators supporting that conclusion.[S1]
