Billie Eilish made headlines last week when she used her Grammy acceptance speech to speak out against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Accepting the Song of the Year award for “Wildflower,” the singer said, “No one is illegal on stolen land.”
“It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, and I feel very hopeful in this room and I feel like we need to keep fighting and talking and protesting,” she continued.
He bad boy The hitmaker’s comments garnered a strong response from boxer and social media personality Jake Paul.
In a post on X, Paul told Eilish that if someone disrespects ICE, “you can’t call 911 when you’re in trouble.”
He added: “When Billie Tabs raids her house, it won’t be a fucking ICE, I can promise you that.”
The boxer’s comments were also widely criticized online, with many users pointing out that local police, not ICE, respond to emergencies.
Hawaiian Senator Brian Schatz explained that the police respond in a short time and identify themselves.
NFL analyst Lindsey OK wrote: “If someone’s house gets raided, they won’t call ICE an idiot.”
Meanwhile, others reminded Paul that he lost his fight against Anthony Joshua, with one saying he was using “little boy level logic.”
