Megyn Kelly told country music artist Shaboozey to ‘sing for me, b—-!’ while criticizing Grammy-award winners who ‘don’t know anything about politics.’
Shaboozey, real name Collins Obinna Chibueze, declared that ‘immigrants built this country’ during his acceptance speech for best country duo.
But while Kelly said she appreciates the country star’s music, she doesn’t care what he thinks.
‘The only one who I knew was Shaboozey, whose music I like,’ she said. ‘He will sing for me, b—-. He will sing. Do it now: play, that’s it.’
During her SiriusXM show, Kelly continued to lambast musician’s for speaking about social issues that were important to their fans.
‘I really don’t give a s— about what their feelings are in politics, I will listen to them sing,’ she said.
‘I won’t pay the money to listen to it, because I won’t support them. But I do feel the need to mock them, that they think they can come into our lane and talk politics.’
Shaboozey, she said, ‘sounds like a man who might need a 30-day in in-house treatment program, but whatever. I’m not going to opine on his music or how music’s made because that’s not my lane.’
She specifically took issue with Shaboozey’s ‘freaking dishonest’ appeal regarding immigrants.
Megyn Kelly said that Shaboozey can ‘sing for me, b—-,’ criticizing him as being among celebrities at the Grammys who ‘don’t know anything about politics.’
Shaboozey, real name Collins Obinna Chibueze, took flack from both sides of the aisle for his victory speech where he said ‘immigrants built this country’
‘It has nothing to do with immigrants. There are lots of immigrants in the country right now. We don’t bother them. They came in legally. They jumped through the right hoops. We don’t bother them,’ she said while noting that First Lady Melania Trump is an immigrant.
‘It’s the ILLEGAL immigrants who need to get the F out and so like, this is just so blatantly dishonest. He’s dumb or dishonest.’
In his speech, given accepted the best country duo/group performance Grammy for his song ‘Amen’ with Jelly Roll, he said: ‘Immigrants built this country, literally. So this is for them.’
Shaboozey also took flack from the left for his statement, which many felt ignored the contributions of black Americans to building the country. The singer apologized in a statement to social media on Tuesday.
‘I want to be clear and unequivocal: Foundational Black Americans built this country. Period,’ he wrote.
‘My words were not meant to erase, diminish, or overlook that truth, and I sincerely apologize for how they came across. That history, sacrifice, and resilience are undeniable, and I should have been more intentional in honoring that in my moment on stage.’
Many artists chose to speak out against the Trump administration, in particular ICE, at the Grammys.

Host Trevor Noah ripped both the commander-in-chief and former President Bill Clinton after they were both part of unsubstantiated allegations in a recent document dump of Epstein files from the Department of Justice.
‘Song of the Year, that is a Grammy that every artist wants almost as much as Trump wants Greenland, which makes sense because Epstein’s island is gone, he needs a new one to hang out with Bill Clinton,’ Noah joked before introducing the Song of the Year category.
The former Daily Show host then repeated that this was his last year hosting, asking: ‘What are you gonna do about it?’
His joke comes just two days after the Department of Justice released at least three million pages of documents linked to disgraced financier Epstein.
Although Trump and Clinton’s names appeared in the document, both have denied any wrongdoing and have not been accused of any crimes linked to Epstein.
The president has already threatened to sue the Epstein estate for conspiring with anti-Trump author Michael Wolff ‘to hurt me politically’.
Trump threatened to sue ‘total loser’ Noah and called the Grammys ‘virtually unwatchable’ in a social media post Sunday night.
It continued a wave of celebrities espousing left-wing and anti-Trump opinions during the ceremony.

Billie Eilish was censored by the broadcast while saying ‘f*** ICE’ and also said that ‘no human is illegal on stolen land’.
The 24-year-old Los Angeles native was emotional as she earned Song Of The Year for WILDFLOWER while accompanied by brother FINNEAS.
During her speech she said: ‘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.
‘And, yeah, it’s just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, and I feel really hopeful in this room, and I feel like we just need to keep fighting and speaking up and protesting, and our voices really do matter, and the people matter. That’s all I’m going to say. Sorry. Thank you so much. I can’t believe this.’
Many artists at the event wore ‘ICE out’ pins following the controversial agency or the killings of Keith Porter in LA and Renée Good and the VA ICU nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis at the hands of its agents.
Earlier in the night, Bad Bunny made a similar political statement.
The 31-year-old Puerto Rican global superstar’s – born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio – first words were ‘ICE out’ when he hit the podium to accept Best Música Urbana Album for DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.
The NUEVAYoL hitmaker – who will be performing at the Super Bowl LX Half-time Show at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California next week – said: ‘Before I say thanks to god, I’m going to say, ICE Out.’
He received a massive ovation from the crowd before he continued his speech by saying that immigrants and Puerto Ricans are not savage, animals, or aliens and that they are in fact, Americans.
Bad Bunny continued by saying not to be consumed by hate as he gave a positive message during his speech, ‘The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love.
‘So, please, we need to be different. If we fight, we have to do it with love. Yeah. We don’t hate them, we love our people, we love our family, and that’s the way to do it, with love. Don’t forget that, please. Thank you. Thank you, God! And thank you to The Academy.’
