While accepting his Grammy after winning the Best Música Urbana Album category for his album, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, Bad Bunny—whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio—didn't mince words with his response to ICE's increasingly aggressive presence in U.S. cities.
"Before I say thanks to God, I'm gonna say ICE out," he said, as the audience erupted into cheers and gave him a standing ovation.
Bad Bunny continued, "We're not savages. We're not animals. We're not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans."
After another round of applause, he added, "Also, I want to say to the people, I know it's tough not to hate on these days. And I was thinking, sometimes we get contaminados [contaminated], I don't know how to say that in English. The hate gets more powerful... The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love."
To conclude his acceptance speech, Bad Bunny implored, "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. We love. Don't forget that, please."
