Bad Bunny used his Grammy acceptance speech on Sunday to denounce U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and call for the end of the ongoing immigration crackdown on Sunday.
"Before I say thanks to God, I'm going to say ICE out," the Puerto Rican artist said as he accepted a Grammy Award for his album "Debí Tirar Más Fotos" in the música urbana album category. "We're not savage, we're not animals, we're not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans."
His statement was met with applause and standing ovations. It came as protests against ICE took place across the country this weekend, including in Los Angeles, where the 68th Annual Grammy Awards were held Sunday. The Grammy Awards were being broadcast live on CBS television stations and streaming on Paramount+.
"Also, I want to say to the people, I know it's tough to know, not to hate on these days," Bad Bunny said. "And I was thinking, sometimes we get 'contaminado,' I don't know how to say that in English. The hate get more powerful with more hate. The only thing that's more powerful than hate is love."
In closing, he said: "So please we need to be different. If we fight, we have to do it with love. We don't hate them. We love our people. We love our family and there's a way to do it, with love, and don't forget that."
