NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Megyn Kelly took aim at several high-profile musicians following the Grammy Awards held on Sunday, February 1, after a number of artists used the stage to speak out against the Trump administration’s immigration tactics and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

On Monday’s episode of 'The Megyn Kelly Show,' Kelly responded sharply to those remarks, focusing on artists who made anti-ICE statements during acceptance speeches and public appearances at the awards ceremony.

Megyn Kelly criticizes Bad Bunny over anti-ICE Grammy speech

During her podcast, Kelly singled out Bad Bunny after the artist made anti-ICE remarks during the Grammy Awards. The singer, who made history as the first Latin artist to win Album of the Year, shouted “ICE out!” at the beginning of one of his acceptance speeches.

He reiterated his stance while accepting the award for Best Música Urbana Album, emphasizing unity and compassion. “The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love, so please, we need to be different,” he said.

Bad Bunny also urged audiences to respond without hostility. “We don’t hate them. We love our people. We love our family, and that’s the way to do it, with love,” he added.

Kelly dismissed the remarks on her podcast, questioning their depth and intent. “He’s actually trying to pawn that off like it’s clever, like it’s some sort of profundity. He’s against ICE,” she said. “I feel like we might want to send ICE down to his compound.”

She further claimed that Bad Bunny is worth around $100 million. Kelly also noted that the singer is scheduled to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show this Sunday, following his Grammy wins.

Megyn Kelly goes after Justin Bieber and Billie Eilish over anti-ICE comments

Bad Bunny was not the only artist criticized by Kelly during her podcast. Justin Bieber and Billie Eilish also drew her ire for their anti-ICE comments and actions at the Grammy Awards. Several celebrities wore 'ICE-OUT' pins on the red carpet and referenced immigration issues during speeches or interviews.

Kelly criticized Bieber, pointing out that he is Canadian and questioning his involvement in US immigration debates. “Justin Bieber is Canadian and is out there with his Get Out ICE pin,” she said.

She went on to argue that entertainers should not be treated as authorities on complex policy issues, adding that celebrity activism can be disconnected from the realities faced by Americans.

Eilish, who won Song of the Year for “Wildflower,” addressed immigration during her acceptance speech, saying, 'No one is illegal on stolen land,' and urging continued protest and public advocacy.

Kelly responded by dismissing Eilish’s remarks as well, saying that many of the artists who lectured audiences during the ceremony were among the wealthiest people in the room while criticizing US immigration enforcement.
