Can never make everybody happy. The 68th Annual GRAMMY Awards were held this past weekend, and it was largely just a parade of celebrities taking the stage to bash the Trump administration’s immigration policy and ongoing ICE raids. You had Billie Eilish making the nonsensical proclamation that “nobody is illegal on stolen land,” and Super Bowl LX halftime headliner Bad Bunny boldly taking a stand that was promptly greeted with thunderous applause: “Before I say thanks to God, I’m gonna say: ICE out. We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans.” Bad Bunny says "ICE OUT" at the #Grammys and receives a massive standing ovation: "We are not savage, we are not animals, we are not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans. The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love.… pic.twitter.com/IFzvguqdCR — Variety (@Variety) February 2, 2026 I mean, is it really brave to make a statement like that in a room full of people who think exactly like you? But anyway, that’s beside the point. Shaboozey was another artist who used his acceptance speech to talk about immigration. After winning the award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance, the “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” singer, whose real name is Collins Obinna Chibueze, dedicated his award to immigrants: “The last thing I want to say, immigrants built this country, literally. Actually. So this is for them, for all children of immigrants. This is also for those who came to this country in search of better opportunity to be a part of a nation that promised freedom for all and equal opportunity to everyone willing to work for it. Thank you for bringing your culture, your music, your stories, and your traditions here. You give America color. I love y’all so much. Thank you.” Shaboozey is a first generation American, whose parents both immigrated from Nigeria.

In a post on social media, Shaboozey addressed those who were upset that he claimed immigrants built this country without mentioning the contributions of black people: “First and foremost, I want to express my deep gratitude to everyone who has supported and celebrated my journey as an artist. I also want to acknowledge the conversation surrounding my acceptance speech. To be clear, I know and believe that we—Black people, have also built this country. My words were never intended to dismiss that truth. I am both a Black man and the son of Nigerian immigrants and in the overwhelming moment of winning my first Grammy my focus was on honoring the sacrifices my parents made by coming to this country to give me and my siblings opportunities they never had. At the same time, winning this award on the first day of Black History Month and becoming the first Black man to win Best Country Duo is Black history. It stands on the foundation laid by generations of Black people who fought, sacrificed, and succeeded long before me. This moment belongs to all of us. My entire career has been rooted in lifting people up, honoring where we come from, and expanding what’s possible. I am proud to be part of this legacy, and I intend to continue doing that work for the rest of my life.” A letter from me pic.twitter.com/DgcOavMHjx — Shaboozey (@ShaboozeysJeans) February 3, 2026 You’re never going to please everybody I guess.The post Shaboozey Responds To Backlash From GRAMMY Speech On Immigration – But It’s Not What You Think first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
