Bad Bunny Wins American Grammy, Gets Accused of Being Too Politically Mexican

KEY POINTS

•Bad Bunny won three Grammy Awards on February 9, 2026, including the historic all-Spanish album of the year for 'Debí Tirar Más Fotos.'
•His win came amid increased anti-immigrant policies under the Trump administration, with the Supreme Court relaxing racial profiling rules for ICE enforcement.
•Bad Bunny used his acceptance speeches to denounce ICE and assert the humanity of Latino communities, while some fellow artists avoided political commentary.

At the 2026 Grammy Awards, Bad Bunny clinched album of the year for 'Debí Tirar Más Fotos,' the first fully Spanish album to do so — just in time for ICE doubling down on racial profiling and the US government pushing deportations harder than a sneeze in a library. As the Los Angeles crowd applauded, Bad Bunny hid his tears like a kid caught with a second cookie while blasting ICE in English, saying 'We're not savages.' Meanwhile, country star Jelly Roll ’politely declined’ to share his political opinions right after raking in three awards—because why rock the boat when you can just sit in it? Puerto Rican roots, American imperialism, and cultural survival all made guest appearances on this musical stage, ensuring the night was as politically charged as a Tesla at a lightning convention.

Congrats Bad Bunny for winning album of the year while US quietly outsources deportations faster than fans empty merch stands. Who knew saying 'We’re human' was so radical at a party with gold trophies?
