Bad Bunny attacked the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service (ICE) during his speech at the Grammy Awards: “We are not savages, we are not animals, we are humans and we are Americans,” he said after collecting the award for best urban music album.
Before I say thank God, I’ll say ICE OUT
“Before saying thank God, I’m going to say ICE out,” the Puerto Rican artist began after taking the stage. A loud applause from the audience followed.
“The only thing more powerful than hate is love, 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 and our family, don’t forget it,” concluded the Puerto Rican.
The singer’s words come amid outrage in the United States after immigration agents shot dead two protesters against immigration raids in Minneapolis.
Grammy for best album of the year with an album in Spanish
Puerto Rican Bad Bunny made history by winning the award for best album of the year with his album ‘DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS’, the first entirely in Spanish.
The album, his sixth studio album consisting of 17 songs, is a love letter to his native Puerto Rico, in which he addresses social issues such as the gentrification that affects the island.
“Puerto Rico, believe me when I tell you that we are much bigger than 100×25 and there is nothing that we cannot achieve,” the singer commented in Spanish, referring to the popular Puerto Rican expression “100 by 35”, due to the approximate measurements of the island: 100 miles long by 35 miles wide.
