Verdict: False

This image is digitally fabricated. Sphere Entertainment confirmed that the Las Vegas sphere displayed no such message in an email to Check Your Fact.

Fact Check: 

The MSG Sphere in Las Vegas is being billed as the world’s largest spherical structure at 366 feet tall and 516 feet wide, according to CNN. The $2.3 billion entertainment venue has recently being showing a video of a giant eyeball, leaving some viewers feeling unsettled, UNILAD reported.

A TikTok purports the Las Vegas sphere displayed a negative message about President Joe Biden. The video allegedly show an aerial, nighttime view of the sphere with the message “f*** Biden,” the first word being censored by an American flag.

This is not genuine footage, however. Check Your Fact found no credible news reports about the sphere displaying this message. 

A spokesperson for Sphere Entertainment confirmed that the image is not genuine in an email to Check Your Fact. 

The spokesperson directed Check Your Fact to a press kit of images of the sphere, which features images like landscapes and fireworks. No political statements or profanity was featured. (RELATED: No, Image Does Not Show The Las Vegas Sphere With A Windows Error Message)

This is not the first time misinformation spread online. Check Your Fact previously debunked an image claiming O.J. Simpson is joining the SAG-AFTRA strike.
