We can literally see your names in the Epstein files,&#8221; Finneas wrote on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.com\/@finneas\/post\/DUWV3FyErmG?xmt=AQF05iHZCdVgvzuKZlmBh5fHspwTtJx9tT82Xe2h8CQwNA\" id=\"https:\/\/www.threads.com\/@finneas\/post\/DUWV3FyErmG?xmt=AQF05iHZCdVgvzuKZlmBh5fHspwTtJx9tT82Xe2h8CQwNA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Threads<\/a> on Wednesday, February 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Billie Eilish won Song of the Year for Wildflower and Finneas, the song&#8217;s co-writer\/producer, shared the stage with her. The 24-year-old took to the stage to address the critical issue of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and its impact on communities, stating &#8220;No one is illegal on stolen land&#8221; and &#8220;F**k ICE&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs grateful as I feel, I honestly don\u2019t feel like I need to say anything but that no one is illegal on stolen land,&#8221; the Bellyache singer said. &#8220;And yeah it\u2019s just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now and I just feel really hopeful in this room and I feel like we need to just keep fighting and speaking up and protesting. Our voices really do matter and people matter,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Billie Eilish&#8217;s speech was met with a standing ovation, but it also drew criticism from some quarters. Finneas, undeterred by the backlash, has used his platform to amplify his sister&#8217;s message. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, Bad Bunny also used his platform to speak out against ICE during his Best M\u00fasica Urbana Album acceptance speech for Deb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Originally reported by Sibanee Gogoi on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\/news\/1726079-finneas-blasts-critics-over-billie-eilish-grammys-backlash\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\/news\/1726079-finneas-blasts-critics-over-billie-eilish-grammys-backlash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mandatory<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Besides the stunning performances and the show-stopping fashion, the 2026 Grammys will be remembered for the poignant speeches.
