Some artists used the space for their acceptance speeches in Grammy Awards 2026 to criticize ICE and the anti-immigrant policies adopted by the administration of Donald Trump, president of the United States. The 68th edition of the main world music awards ceremony takes place this Sunday (1st), in Los Angeles, USA.
Bad Bunny, when he took the stage to receive the award for Best Urban Music Album, called for the end of ICE and advised people to choose to act with love and leave hate aside. , a work awarded by the Recording Academy, is a true ode to the culture of Puerto Rico and criticizes the United States and the way in which the singer’s homeland is seen by North Americans.
.
“Before saying ‘thank you’, I want to say ‘out with ICE’. We are not savages, we are not animals, we are not aliens, we are human beings and we are Americans. Furthermore, I want to say to the people watching not to spread hate. Sometimes, we become contaminated and hate ends up becoming more powerful”, declared the singer.
“The only thing more potent than hate is love. Please, we need to be different. If we fight, we need to fight with love. We don’t hate them, we fight with love.”
Singer Kehlani adopted the same critical tone towards ICE. She took the stage to accept the award for Best R&B Performance for “Folded.”
“I hope everyone is inspired to come together as a community of artists and take a stand against what is happening,” said the artist.
“FCK ICE🙂↕️” OH EXACTLY KEHLANI😭😭😭
