Bad Bunny delivered a powerful speech at the Grammys amid the ICE raids across the country that Americans are protesting following multiple deaths.
The Puerto Rican singer took the stage to accept his award in the Best Música Urbana Album for Debí Tirar Más Fotos and had all of the Crypto.com Arena cheering him on.
“Before I say thanks to God, I’m going to say, ‘ICE out!’” the Super Bowl LX Halftime performer said.
After a standing ovation, Bad Bunny continued, “We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens, we are humans, and we are Americans.”
Bad Bunny continued his remarks, noting that people sometimes become “contaminated” amid divisions in the United States.
“The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love,” he added. “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 that’s the way to do it — with love. Don’t forget that, please.”
Bad Bunny made an appearance at the Grammys ahead of his performance at Super Bowl LX, set to take place on Sunday, February 8. The Puerto Rican star will take the stage at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, where the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots will face each other for the Vince Lombardi trophy.
Earlier in the show, Grammys host Trevor Noah highlighted Bad Bunny’s efforts to support Puerto Rico’s economy by establishing a musical residency to boost local businesses.
