Puerto Rican Bad Bunny made history yesterday at the 68th Grammy Awards, becoming the first Latin artist to win Album of the Year for a record entirely in Spanish. Benito was one of the big stars of the night, being one of the most awarded artists and one of the few to speak out against the immigration policies the United States has had since Donald Trump became president. When the artist took the stage to accept the award for Best Urban Music Album, he used the microphone to address the audience and speak out about the controversial anti-immigration raids by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). "I'm going to say: Fuck ICE!" he stated. The ceremony for the 68th Grammy Awards this Sunday was one of the most impactful in recent years, as numerous artists came together to raise their voices against the policies of U.S. President Donald Trump and the mass deportations by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). "Fuck ICE": Bad Bunny speaks out at the Grammy Awards against Trump's immigration policies. According to the Argentine News Agency, major music figures posed on the Grammy red carpet with a "ICE Out" pin on their expensive outfits as a silent expression against immigration raids. Hailey and Justin Bieber with the "ICE out" pin. Like Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey, the 24-year-old singer also posed with the pin and took the opportunity to say a few words when she was crowned Song of the Year for her hit 'Wildflower.' "Nobody is illegal on stolen land. And... yes, it's very hard to know what to say and what to do at this moment, but I feel very hopeful in this room and I feel like we just have to keep fighting, raising our voices and protesting," she expressed. She also asked her colleagues to join her in the protests: "Our voices really matter and people matter... Fuck ICE. I just wanted to say that, sorry." Shaboozy The winner of Best Country Duo/Group Performance dedicated his Grammy to immigrants living in the United States and showed his support for those affected by Trump's policies. "Immigrants built this country, literally. So this is for them, for all the children of immigrants. It's also for those who came to this country looking for better opportunities to be part of a nation that promised freedom for all and equal opportunity for all who were willing to work for it. Thank you for bringing your culture, your music, your stories, and your traditions. Thank you." He also encouraged all artists to unite: "So instead of it just being a few here and there, I hope that everyone feels inspired to come together as a community of artists and speak out against what is happening. And I'm going to leave by saying: Fuck ICE!" While many artists are now expressing their displeasure with Trump's policies, Bad Bunny was one of the first to raise his voice and speak out against the situation in the United States. Earlier in 2025, the Puerto Rican had refused to perform in the United States, even excluding it from his international tour, for fear that his fans would suffer ICE raids outside the arenas. "We are not savages, we are not animals, we are not aliens; we are humans and we are Americans," Benito said upon receiving the award. With a strong ovation from the audience for his words, he continued: "I also want to tell people... I know it's hard not to hate these days. And I was thinking that sometimes we 'get contaminated.' Hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love." In a heartfelt reflection on what immigration policies generate in American society, the singer asked to leave hatred aside and to fight from another point: "We don't hate them; we love our people, we love our family, and that's the way to do it: with love. Please don't forget that. They give color to the United States. Yes. (Fuck ICE!)
