The latest Grammy Awards in Los Angeles became more than a celebration of music, as social and political issues took center stage alongside the performances. Artists from diverse backgrounds gathered to honor musical achievements, with several using their acceptance speeches to voice opinions on immigration and community concerns. One of the night’s most talked-about moments came from Puerto Rican star Bad Bunny, who made history with a major win and urged audiences to focus on unity, empathy, and compassion. His message drew applause inside the arena and sparked widespread discussion online.
Political reactions followed quickly. Former President Donald Trump criticized what he described as the growing presence of political messaging at entertainment events. He also addressed jokes made by Grammy host Trevor Noah, denying claims referenced during the broadcast and stating he was considering legal action, calling the remarks inaccurate and damaging. The exchange fueled further debate about the boundaries between politics, comedy, and entertainment.
