Bad Bunny Wins Grammy, Opens Speech With ‘ICE Out’ Call Against Immigration Enforcement
Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny used his acceptance speech at the 2026 Grammy Awards to urge “ICE out,” condemning U.S. immigration enforcement policies and emphasizing the humanity of immigrants as he accepted Best Música Urbana Album.
At the 68th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny made a powerful statement against U.S. immigration enforcement while accepting the award for Best Música Urbana Album for DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS. Moments after being announced as a winner, Bad Bunny began his speech with “ICE out,” drawing a standing ovation from the crowd as he called for an end to policies and practices he characterized as harmful to immigrant communities.
He emphasized the shared humanity of immigrants, declaring “We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens — we are humans and we are Americans.” Bad Bunny urged people to counter hate with love and compassion, proclaiming that “the only thing that is more powerful than hate is love.” His remarks reflected broader concerns about harsh immigration enforcement, particularly actions by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency that have sparked nationwide debate and protest.
The moment turned the Grammy stage into a platform for political advocacy, joining other artists at the ceremony who also voiced support for immigrant rights. Bad Bunny’s speech was among the most high-profile political statements of the night, highlighting his role not only as a leading figure in global music but also as a vocal critic of policies he views as unjust.
