A WWE personality decisively countered Impaulsive co-host Mike Majlak’s comment regarding Bad Bunny’s Grammy speech being ‘a little political’.
Twin athletes Brie and Nikki Bella joined Mike and YouTuber Logan Paul for an installment of their podcast on Tuesday (February 3).
While discussing WWE updates, the Bella twins also delved into the recent Grammy Awards, focusing on the anti-ICE remarks made by several stars during the event.
Early in the show, Mike and Logan took a moment to applaud their friend, country musician Jelly Roll, for securing three Grammy Awards over the weekend.
While Jelly Roll didn’t address ICE at the ceremony, he mentioned backstage that he plans to speak on the issue soon given the current situation in the US.
Describing himself as a ‘dumb redneck,’ Jelly Roll told reporters: “I grew up in a house of insane pandemonium, like I didn’t even know that politics were f**king real until I was in my mid-20s in jail, that’s how disconnected [I was].”
Other artists, such as Billie Eilish and Bad Bunny, were more outspoken with their moments on stage.
Logan commended Jelly Roll’s acceptance speech, noting that he ‘gave all the glory to Jesus’.
Bella agreed that Jelly Roll was ‘so good’, before commenting: “There was a lot of great speeches at the Grammys. I loved it. Bad Bunny – I loved it.”
Logan and Mike seemed to concur, but Mike then interjected: “Got a little political – what do you, like…?”
Brie immediately responded: “I don’t think so.”
Mike asked: “No? Just people speaking from the heart?”
Brie clarified: “Speaking from the heart and ended it with something powerful with love, unity. Love that.”
The conversation then quickly shifted topics.
During his acceptance for Album of the Year, Bad Bunny, who has avoided touring the US due to ICE concerns but will headline the Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday (February 8), declared: “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’re Americans.”
He further stated: “Also I wanna say to the people; I know it’s tough not to hate on these – and I was thinking sometimes we get contaminos, I don’t know how to say that in English.
“The hate gets more powerful, with more hate, the only thing more powerful than hate is love.
“So please, we need be different, if we fight we have to do it with love; if we don’t hate them, we love our people we love our family and that’s the way to do it, don’t forget that.”
A brief clip of Brie and Mike’s dialogue has since gained significant attention, sparking discussions on social media.
Referring to the Bella twins’ background, one Twitter user commented on Logan and Mike: “I don’t think they realize the Bella twins are Mexican. Their real last name is GARCIA.”
Another user applauded: “She shut it down quick… mother!”
Some felt that Brie was mistaken, asserting that Bad Bunny’s address was indeed political, and that this was precisely the message. “Love and unity isn’t political,” another commented.
Brie and Nikki have Mexican and Italian heritage from their father’s and mother’s sides, respectively.
They have previously expressed pride in their cultural roots, as reported by People in 2017.
Nikki, who had participated in Dancing with the Stars, shared her experience learning a Mexican folk dance style called folklórico.
“I never knew about this dance and getting to learn how the women move their skirts, the traditions and what it means, I was like ‘OMG, I’m so proud to be a Mexican’,” she said at the time.
Nikki added: “As Latins, we truly celebrate life and family and colors and music and I just love that. It makes me appreciate so much from my Mexican roots. It’s just something so unique.”
