She then escalated the rhetoric even further, declaring, “I’m gonna leave this and say, F*ck ICE!”
WATCH:
Rather than condemning the vulgar outburst, the audience—packed with Hollywood insiders and left-wing activists—responded with loud cheers and applause. The moment highlighted the widening cultural divide between everyday Americans and an entertainment industry increasingly comfortable mocking federal law enforcement on live television.
The incident did not end there.
Kehlani continued her anti-ICE tirade during interviews on the red carpet, making it clear the comments were not accidental or emotional, but deliberate. Speaking to reporters, she doubled down on her remarks with no sign of regret.
“I really wanted to say f*ck ICE but I think they needed some couth on the carpet or something,” the brainless tattooed singer said.
She followed up with another self-described explanation of her behavior.
“I’m a little couthless ruthless,” she said.
Rather than walking back the comments or acknowledging the role ICE plays in enforcing federal law, Kehlani framed her attack as a moral stand, portraying herself and fellow performers as uniquely positioned to lecture the country.
“I think everybody — we’re too powerful of a group to all be in a room at the same time and not make some kind of statement in our country, so yeah, it’s just brainless to me,” she said.
The comments immediately drew backlash online, with critics accusing the singer of disrespecting law enforcement officers who risk their lives daily to protect American communities. ICE agents are responsible for removing dangerous criminals, stopping human trafficking operations, and enforcing immigration laws passed by Congress—facts rarely acknowledged by Hollywood activists.
Conservatives were quick to point out the irony of wealthy celebrities condemning federal agencies while benefiting from the safety and security those same agencies help provide. Others noted that Grammy broadcasts increasingly resemble political rallies rather than celebrations of artistic achievement.
The Grammys have faced declining viewership in recent years, and moments like this may further accelerate that trend. Many Americans tune in for music, not profanity-laden political lectures from entertainers who live far removed from the consequences of open-border policies.
Once again, a major cultural event revealed how deeply entrenched radical politics have become in Hollywood. Instead of unity, the night delivered division. Instead of music, viewers were given activism. And instead of gratitude, federal officers were met with insults—cheered by an audience that appears increasingly out of touch with the country it claims to represent.
Whether the backlash will have lasting consequences remains to be seen. But for many Americans, the message was loud and clear: the entertainment industry is no longer even pretending to be neutral—and it’s perfectly comfortable saying so on live television.
