Karol G Wants to Speak Out More About ICE Karol G, the Colombian Grammy-winning artist, has expressed her desire to speak out more about immigration enforcement in the United States, particularly the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). However, she has been repeatedly cautioned against doing so, citing potential risks to her personal and professional life. In an interview accompanying her new Playboy cover, she explained that people often warn her, “It’s better you don’t,” because of the potential consequences of speaking out. She noted that if she were to criticize ICE, she might face calls from authorities threatening to revoke her visa, making her a target for those seeking to assert power. The singer, who is set to become the first Latina to headline Coachella, emphasized that she wants to wait before taking a public stance on the issue. She believes her platform as a global music icon could have a greater impact than simply chanting “ICE Out.” “I have a huge stage, and that’s why I want to wait,” she said. “If someone was ever to do something to me, I want to stand firmly on my stage for my community.” She added that she is careful to ensure her voice is heard through opportunities that allow her to represent her community effectively. Karol G also questioned the real impact of slogans like “ICE Out” versus actions that could directly benefit her community. “What impact does it really have to say ‘ICE Out’ versus something else that can have a real impact on my community?” she asked. In the interview with Emmy-winning writer Paola Ramos, she admitted that her team would strongly oppose her speaking out on the issue. “But I’m willing to say it,” she said. “If I’m being honest with you, it’s something that crosses the line of what I have to do to protect myself.#ice #coachella #karol_g #playboy #philip_picardi
