Billie Eilish’s brother, Finneas, claps back at ‘outrage’ over singer’s ‘stolen land’ anti-ICE speech at Grammys 2026

She’s not the bad guy.

Billie Eilish’s brother, Finneas, came to the singer’s defense amid “outrage” over her anti-ICE remarks at the Grammys 2026 on Sunday.

“Seeing a lot of very powerful old white men outraged about what my 24-year-old sister said during her acceptance speech,” he wrote via Instagram Threads on Wednesday.

“We can literally see your names in the Epstein files,” Finneas, 28, added.

The siblings, notably, won the award for song of the year over the weekend for “Wildflower,” and Eilish railed against Immigration and Customs Enforcement while onstage.

“I feel so honored every time I get to be in this room,” she began her speech. “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.

“Yeah, it’s just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now,” the songwriter continued. “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, and f–k ICE.”

Eilish concluded, “That’s all I’m going to say. Sorry. Thank you so much.”

She and Finneas both rocked “ICE OUT” pins to the awards ceremony, along with Justin Bieber, Hailey Bieber and more A-listers.

The Tongva tribe, who owns the land under Eilish’s $3 million Los Angeles mansion, praised her for “provid[ing] visibility to the true history of this country” in a statement.

However, they noted, “It is our hope that in future discussions, the tribe can explicitly be referenced.”

“No one is illegal on stolen land,” the singer (pictured above in October 2025) said.

Eilish was not the only winner to call out the federal agency during the awards show, with Bad Bunny doing the same.

The soon-to-be Super Bowl 2026 halftime show headliner, who won the best música urbana album and album of the year for “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS,” kicked off his first speech with an “ICE out” message.

Bad Bunny continued, “We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans.”

He urged attendees to “be different” and “fight … with love” since “the hate gets more powerful with more hate.”

Similarly, Kehlani told the Hollywood Reporter on the red carpet, “F–k ICE. We’re too powerful of a group to all be in a room at the same time and not make some kind of statement in our country, so it’s brainless to me.”

Jelly Roll, for his part, neglected to speak on the topic and dubbed himself a “disconnected … dumb redneck.”

He promised press, “I’m going through it the next week, and everybody’s going to hear exactly what I have to say about it in the most loud and clear way I’ve ever spoke in my life. So I look forward to it on the Internet.”
