‘No One Is Illegal on Stolen Land’
Pop star Billie Eilish delivered her song of the year acceptance speech solely on politics Sunday night at the Grammys, barely thanking anyone while saying, “No one is illegal on stolen land.”
Donning an anti-ICE “ICE Out” pin and standing next to her brother and song-producing partner Finneas, Eilish said: “It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now. We have to continue to speak out and protest. Our voices really matter and people matter.”
“Fuck ICE. That’s all I’m going to say. Sorry. Thank you very much.”
His song “Fuck ICE” received thunderous applause from the audience at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
Eilish was one of several singers and celebrities, including Justin Bieber, Kehlani and Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon, to wear the “ICE out” pin in solidarity with leftists protesting the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.
Eilish wasn’t the only singer to preach politics from the stage.
In his acceptance speech, Puerto Rican pop megastar Bad Bunny said: “Before I say thank God, I’m going to say ICE. We are not savages, we are not animals, we are not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans.”
“Also, I will tell people, I know it’s hard to know not to hate these days and I thought sometimes, we have contaminados [contaminated]I don’t know how to say that in English,” he continued. “Hate becomes more powerful with more hatred. The only thing more powerful than hatred is love. So please, we have to be different. If we fight, we must do it with love. We don’t hate them. We love our people. We love our family and this is the way to do it. With love. Please don’t forget that. THANKS.”
