Megyn Kelly Criticizes Grammys Artists’ Anti-ICE Comments

Musicians faced criticism from Megyn Kelly on Monday’s episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show” for speaking out against ICE during the Grammy Awards on Sunday. Kelly specifically targeted Bad Bunny, Billie Eilish and Justin Bieber for their comments.

Grammy Protests and Response

Bad Bunny, who made history as the first Latin singer to win Album of the Year, exclaimed “ICE Out!” during one of his acceptance speeches. Kelly responded by stating, “He’s actually trying to pawn that off like it’s clever, like it’s some sort of profundity,” and suggested ICE should be sent to his “compound,” noting he is reportedly worth one hundred million dollars.

Kelly also criticized Billie Eilish, who won Song of the Year for “Wildflower” and stated, “no one is illegal on stolen land.” Kelly remarked that Eilish, “like everybody else who got up there to lecture us, has got more money than God.” Justin Bieber, who wore an “Get Out ICE” pin, was called “dumb as two bananas” and “stupid” by Kelly.

Broader Trend of Protest

Many celebrities wore “ICE OUT” pins on the red carpet and voiced their opposition to ICE during speeches and interviews. This suggests a growing trend of artists using the Grammy platform to express their political views. Kelly indicated that she may continue to address similar statements made by performers throughout the upcoming awards season.
