On Sunday, February 1, 2026, Bad Bunny made history by winning the Grammy Award for Album of the Year for his album 'DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS', the first entirely Spanish-language album to achieve this milestone. From the stage, Benito Martínez Ocasio, the artist's real name, dedicated the award to his father and Puerto Rico. 'Puerto Rico, believe me when I tell you we are much bigger than 100x25 and there is nothing we cannot achieve,' the singer said, referencing the island's dimensions. In his speech, he also spoke in English, dedicating the award 'to all the people who had to leave their homeland to follow their dreams,' reinforcing the international and social nature of his work. The artist had already made waves at the Grammys by winning the award for Best Urban Music Album, where he delivered a political message against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. 'Before I thank God, I'm going to say: f*** ICE,' he stated, a moment that generated applause and global media coverage. These remarks come amid political tension in the United States following recent immigration raids and the death of two protesters in Minneapolis, which have once again put the issues of migration and human rights on the international agenda.
