Bad Bunny Declares ‘ICE Out’ in Grammy Acceptance Speech

Bad Bunny used his Grammy Award acceptance speech Sunday night to deliver a powerful anti-ICE message, declaring “ICE out” before thanking God and receiving a thunderous standing ovation from the crowd.

“Before I say thanks to God, I’m gonna say: ICE out,” the Puerto Rican superstar said while accepting the Grammy for best música urbana album for his album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS. “We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans.”

The moment came amid growing protests across the entertainment industry against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations. Multiple artists wore protest pins on the Grammy red carpet, and Bad Bunny’s statement marked one of the most direct on-stage rebukes of federal immigration enforcement during the ceremony.

President Donald Trump’s administration had previously threatened to place ICE agents at the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show, where Bad Bunny is scheduled to perform, adding additional weight to his Grammy speech.
