Bad Bunny slams ICE during Grammys speech

Mashable - Mon, 02/02/2026 - 13:55

Bad Bunny was one of the big winners at the 2026 Grammy Awards, taking home the trophies for Best Música Urbana Album and Album of the Year for DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.

During his acceptance speech for the former, the rapper and singer took a moment to address ICE, which has come under increasing criticism following the deadly shootings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis by federal immigration agents.

"Before I say thanks to God, I'm gonna say ICE out. We're not savage, we're not animals, we're not aliens, we are humans, and we are Americans," says Bad Bunny in the clip above.

"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. If we fight, we have to do it with love. We don't hate them, we love our people and we love our family. And that's the way to do it, with love."

Picking up the award for Song of the Year, Billie Eilish also criticised ICE during her acceptance speech.

The question is, will Bad Bunny call out ICE again when he performs at Super Bowl LX?

Why Luther Vandross is trending after the Grammys

Mashable - Mon, 02/02/2026 - 13:49

OK, so you're going to see a lot about Luther Vandross, Kendrick Lamar, Cher, and the Grammys on your feed today.

The setting? The 68th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday night. The category? Record of the Year. The announcement? Here's what happened.

Onstage at Los Angeles' Crypto.com Arena, Cher was about to present Lamar with his fifth Grammy of the night — an evening in which the rapper made history. Set to read out the winner for Record of the Year, the Goddess of Pop opened the prized envelope — however, she thought the winner would also be on the event's teleprompter. After a brief moment, she then read out the winner from the card: Lamar's ballad with SZA, "luther."

But what Cher actually said was "Luther Vandross," naming not Lamar or SZA but the all-time music legend who passed away in 2005, prompting social media to erupt.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

"luther" does have Vandross at its core, with the track sampling his 1982 hit with Cheryl Lynn "If This World Were Mine," which was a cover of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell's 1967 duet.

The song, from Lamar's freshly Grammy-awarded 2024 album, GNX, was written by Lamar and SZA with Ink and Sam Dew, and produced by Sounwave, Kamasi Washington, Jack Antonoff, Scott Bridgeway, M-Tech, and roselilah. "luther" took home two Grammys on Sunday, including Record of the Year and Best Melodic Rap Performance.

During Sunday's acceptance speech, producer Sounwave paid tribute to Vandross, saying, "First and foremost, let's give a shout out to the late great Luther Vandross. It was very, very, very important to keep the integrity of this record."

Up next was Lamar, who also honoured Vandross, saying, "This is what music is about." (The artist did take a moment to say the artist's full name aloud with a smile, which felt like it cleared the Cher air.)

"This is special for me, I gotta take my time," he said. "Because it's one of my favorite artists of all time, and they granted us the privilege to do our version of it. When we got that clearance, I promise you, we damn near all dropped a tear because we know how much young miss Cheryl Lynn poured into that record. And being able to put our vocals over it, it proves that we were somewhat worthy to be just as great."

"When we got that clearance, I promise you, we damn near all dropped a tear." - Kendrick Lamar

Lamar then thanked 68-year-old Lynn — "If you out there, listening, watching, we appreciate you," — and mentioned that the only proviso on using the sample for "luther" was no cursing.

Now, here's the part I want you to take away from the whole trending moment: SZA's speech. The artist thanked Lamar "for lifting me up," before giving the audience one hell of a moving reality check.

"What I really wanted to say is, please don't fall into despair," said SZA. "I know that right now is a scary time. I know the algorithms tell us that it's so scary and all is lost. There's been world wars, there's been plagues, and we have gone on. We can go on. We need each other."

Later on the red carpet, SZA was asked by Entertainment Tonight about Cher’s "Luther Vandross" moment and she put it straight, saying, "We share the frequency of the song, like, that’s his frequency that allowed us to win and allowed it to be memorable, so she's not wrong. And she’s from that era, she probably really knew Luther Vandross. 

"Of course, her brain and her energy is connecting that energy to the energy that we’re sharing," she added. "We’re mooching off of what Luther already gave us, so we’re grateful. I wish I could speak to him. Thank you, Luther."

Will Bad Bunny call out ICE at the Super Bowl?

Mashable - Mon, 02/02/2026 - 13:46

Fresh off his historic Album of the Year win at the 2026 Grammys for DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, Bad Bunny is set to headline the Super Bowl LX halftime show on Feb. 8 — a performance poised to become yet another culture-shifting moment on the world's biggest stage.

At the Grammys, the Puerto Rican superstar didn't shy away from politics, directly calling out U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement with a pointed "ICE out" during his acceptance speech for Música Urbana Album. Now, as he prepares for one of the most-watched performances in the world, the question remains: Will Bad Bunny bring that same unapologetic message to the Super Bowl?

Bad Bunny's history of speaking out against ICE

If Benito does take on ICE at the Super Bowl, it wouldn’t be the first time. In a September 2025 interview with i-D magazine, he said concerns over potential ICE raids and the safety of his Latino and Puerto Rican fans were a key reason he excluded the United States from his 2025–2026 DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS World Tour.

SEE ALSO: Bad Bunny slams ICE during Grammys speech

"People from the U.S. could come here to see the show. Latinos and Puerto Ricans of the United States could also travel here, or to any part of the world," he said. "But there was the issue that … ICE could be outside (my concert venue). And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about."

Instead, the artist staged a historic 31-date residency in Puerto Rico — one intentionally designed to prioritize local fans, keep ticket prices accessible, and inject more than $400 million into the island's economy. The decision underscored not only his connection to the island but also his ongoing concern for the communities most affected by immigration enforcement.

That awareness surfaced again during the Grammys telecast, when host Trevor Noah joked, "If things keep getting worse in America, can I come live with you in Puerto Rico?" Bad Bunny gently corrected him: "Puerto Rico is part of America." The moment landed lightly, but its implications were a reminder of Puerto Rico's complicated political status and the way Latinx communities are often treated as both central to and peripheral within American life.

His criticism of ICE has been consistent. Last June, Bad Bunny shared a video on his Instagram Story condemning federal agents operating in Puerto Rico, urging them to stop harassing people who were simply trying to work. With ICE operations intensifying under the Trump administration, his past comments suggest this activism is not a fleeting statement but a throughline in his career.

And as a Puerto Rican artist whose music openly celebrates the island, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Super Bowl stage became yet another place where he chooses to make that message heard.

Has Bad Bunny ever criticized President Trump?

While Bad Bunny has rarely named Donald Trump outright, his criticism of the former president — and the policies of his administration — has been clear. In 2024, the artist endorsed Kamala Harris for U.S. president, citing frustration with the Trump administration’s handling of Hurricane Maria and its devastating impact on Puerto Rico. He made the public endorsement in the wake of comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s racist remarks about Puerto Rico at a Trump rally at Madison Square Garden, where the island was referred to as a "floating island of garbage."

His commentary has also surfaced through his music. On this past Fourth of July, Bad Bunny released the music video for "NUEVAYoL," a salsa tribute to the Puerto Rican diaspora in New York.

The visual features the singer perched atop the Statue of Liberty, who wears a Puerto Rican flag across her forehead like a bandanna. In the final moments, a Trump-like voice plays over a radio broadcast, issuing an imagined apology to immigrants. "This country is nothing without the immigrants," the voice says, naming Mexicans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Colombians, Venezuelans, and Cubans in an unmistakable rebuke of Trump-era immigration rhetoric.

Tensions escalated further after the NFL announced Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl LX halftime performer. U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem publicly criticized the decision, saying ICE agents would be "all over" the Super Bowl and suggesting the event should be reserved for "law-abiding Americans who love this country."

The following night, Bad Bunny addressed the backlash during his Saturday Night Live monologue. Speaking first in English, then in Spanish, he framed the moment as a collective victory for Latino communities in the United States, emphasizing their labor and cultural impact. "Our footprints and our contribution in this country," he said, "no one will ever be able to take that away or erase it." He closed with a pointed aside in English: "And if you didn’t understand what I just said, you have four months to learn."

Trump himself responded dismissively when asked about Bad Bunny in October, telling NewsMax he had "never heard of him" and questioning why the NFL selected him as the halftime performer. Just last month, he told the New York Post that he would not attend Super Bowl LX, citing Bad Bunny and opening act Green Day as reasons. "I'm anti-them," Trump said, "I think it's a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible."

We'll have to wait until Super Bowl Sunday to see if Benito responds.

So, will Bad Bunny mention ICE or Trump at the Super Bowl?

Whether or not Bad Bunny directly addresses politics at Super Bowl LX, the act of bringing Puerto Rican culture and its history to the world's biggest stage is itself a statement. For Bad Bunny, music and identity have always been inseparable, and this halftime show will surely be no exception.

Why your favorite paid software wouldn't exist without open source

How-To Geek - Mon, 02/02/2026 - 13:30

Software makes the world go round, and more often than not you have to pay a pretty penny for the biggest and most popular software packages. Which is more than a little ironic when you consider that just about any software you pay for today is built at least partly on the work of free and open source developers.

The iPhone Flip might be real, you guys

Mashable - Mon, 02/02/2026 - 11:31

Apple is getting serious about foldables. Not only will it reportedly launch its first foldable phone, the iPhone Fold (official name still pending) this fall, but it's now (also reportedly) contemplating launching another foldable device, a clamshell-style phone which might or might not be called iPhone Flip.

The news comes via Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who says the device would be pretty much what you'd expect — a square phone not entirely unlike a Motorola Razr or a Samsung Flip.

SEE ALSO: Apple to prioritize iPhone Fold over base iPhone 18 in 2026, report says

Don't get too excited yet, though. While the wider iPhone Fold sounds like a certainty, given the amount of reports we've seen about it, the iPhone Flip is merely being contemplated right now and is "far from guaranteed to reach the market."

Gurman did not offer any further details about the device. The important part, he says, is that Apple is betting that its iPhone Fold would be successful enough that people would want to buy other Apple foldables, in different shapes and sizes. A larger, book-style foldable phone (larger than the iPhone Fold) could also come at a later stage.

In other words, we could have an entire ecosystem of Apple foldable devices in a matter of years.

None of this is even close to official, and Apple is yet to launch its first foldable device of any kind. A very pocketable, clamshell iPhone does sound very nice, especially for those who are missing the iPhone mini.

Will Green Day slam Trump or ICE on Super Bowl LX?

Mashable - Mon, 02/02/2026 - 11:00

While performing in front of stadiums of their fans, Green Day hasn't shied away from sharing their thoughts on President Donald Trump or his aggressive employment of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (aka ICE). So, will this American punk band use their stage at Super Bowl LX to make a political statement? 

Here's what we know so far. 

Green Day is in for the Super Bowl; Trump is out. 

On Jan. 18, news hit that Green Day had been chosen to play the opening ceremony Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. According to ABC News, "The opening ceremony will take place ahead of the pregame entertainment, in which Charlie Puth is to perform the national anthem, Brandi Carlile will sing 'America the Beautiful,' and Coco Jones will deliver 'Lift Every Voice and Sing.'"

ABC also reported that Billie Joe Armstrong, lead singer of the Bay Area band, declared, "We are super hyped to open Super Bowl 60 right in our backyard! We are honored to welcome the MVPs who've shaped the game and open the night for fans all over the world. Let's have fun! Let's get loud!"

While Green Day fans celebrated online, President Trump told the New York Post in an Oval Office interview that he would not be attending Super Bowl LX, citing Green Day and Bad Bunny as a reason. "I'm anti-them," Trump said, "I think it's a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible."

This punk band has a history of speaking out on politics, most powerfully with American Idiot. Their critically heralded 2004 album criticized the "redneck agenda" of President George W. Bush and made clear the band's opposition to the Iraq War. 

To that end, Green Day has been singing an altered version of the song "American Idiot," to show their rejection of Trump and his politics. Billboard reported that on Sept. 20, 2019, while performing at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas, Armstrong sang, "I'm not a part of a MAGA agenda," in place of the original lyric, "I'm not a part of a redneck agenda."

On their Saviors tour in 2024, Green Day played the whole of the American Idiot album to celebrate its 20th anniversary. And the "MAGA" lyric change was consistent, as seen in videos from fans across the U.S. — and witnessed by this reporter at a concert in New York City. (NYC may be Trump's hometown, but the audience in Citi Field cheered in excitement over the lyric change.) 

On Jan. 17, 2025, the day before Green Day was announced as a Super Bowl performance, the band played the 2026 iHeartRadio ALTer EGO at Kia Forum in Inglewood, California. The fan account greendayinc posted a video of the end of the performance, which contained a political message in Spanish. (Could this be a nod to Bad Bunny's assurance he'll be singing in Spanish at the big game?) 

Finishing out their final song for the tour, "Good Riddance," Armstrong says to the crowd, "Please look out for your neighbors. Make sure you take care of each other. Make sure you love one another. Protect each other."

Then, after finishing the song, he shouts, "Chinga la migra," which roughly translates to "Fuck ICE." 

So, will Green Day say something during the opening ceremony of the Super Bowl, with the whole nation watching? 

At this time, Green Day members Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool have not made a public announcement about their plans for the big game performance. However, as speaking out against political violence and Trump has been a part of their live performances for years, we predict Green Day will say something. 

Will it be as bold as dropping an f-bomb on live TV? Will it be a lyric targeted at Trump and his MAGA supporters? Will it be a message to support your neighbor or to "be good," in reference to the protest pins won by celebrities at the Golden Globes, drawing attention to the killing of Minnesota resident Renee Good? 

We'll all find out on Feb. 8.
