Bad Bunny became the first artist to speak out explicitly against ICE at the 2026 Grammys while accepting his Best Música Urbana Album award for Debí Tirar Más Fotos. Watch his speech below.
“Before I say thanks to God, I’m going to say: ICE out,” he began, drawing a standing ovation. “We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans. Also, I want to say to the people: I know it’s tough not to hate these days, and I’ve been thinking about that. Sometimes we get contaminados… I don’t know how to say that in English. Hate gets more powerful with more hate.”
He continued. “The only thing more powerful than hate is love. So, please, we need to be different when we fight. We have to do it with love. We don’t hate them. We love our people. We love our family, and that’s the way to do it: with love. Don’t forget that. Please. Thank you.”
