Comedian Ricky Gervais attacked Grammy winners for using speeches to criticize ICE, calling their political messages unqualified and ineffective.

Comedian Ricky Gervais criticized Grammy winners for using their acceptance speeches to make political statements, particularly targeting condemnations of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Sharing a clip from his 2020 Golden Globes monologue, he argued that celebrities lack real-world experience and are unqualified to lecture the public, saying “They’re still not listening.” His comments followed multiple artists, including Billie Eilish, Bad Bunny, and Olivia Dean, who denounced ICE, with Eilish declaring “f— ICE” and emphasizing that no one is illegal on Indigenous land. Several attendees wore “ICE out” pins in solidarity. Gervais, known for his satirical critiques of public figures, sparked debate over the role of celebrities in political discourse, with reactions ranging from support to criticism of his stance.
