Pop star Billie Eilish is facing a wave of online blowback after using her Song of the Year moment at the Grammy Awards to denounce immigration enforcement.
“As grateful as I feel, I honestly don’t feel like I need to say anything, but that no one is illegal on stolen land,” Eilish said from the stage at Crypto.com Arena.
“’F**k ICE’ is what I wanna say,” she concluded.
The remarks quickly ricocheted across social media — and so did the counterpunch: critics arguing that if Eilish believes “stolen land” rhetoric, she should prove it with her own property.
Political commentator Brandon Tatum wrote on X that Eilish is “chilling” in a “Hollywood Hills fortress” and dared her to “hand over the keys to the nearest tribe or migrant family.”
British broadcaster Julia Hartley-Brewer called the speech “silly celeb posturing” and suggested Eilish should give up her “Malibu beachfront home” if she truly means it.
Sen. Mike Lee added his own test: “Any white person who does a public ‘stolen land’ acknowledgement should immediately give his or her land to native Americans. Otherwise they don’t mean it.”
Eilish has been linked in multiple celebrity real-estate reports to a roughly $2.3 million equestrian property in Glendale previously owned by Leona Lewis, though some outlets note the buyer’s name wasn’t publicly confirmed in property records reporting.
Her brother and collaborator Finneas O’Connell sold a Malibu beach house for $5.66 million in 2022, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Eilish’s Grammy-night comments were part of a broader streak of immigration-themed statements at the ceremony, including “ICE out” language from other winners, Reuters reported.
