will.i.am calls out ICE raids on new single ‘East L.A.’

    will.i.am has called out the ICE raids that have been taking place across California on his new single “East L.A.”

    Accompanied by his longtime Black Eyed Peas cohort Taboo, the rapper and producer looks to celebrate Los Angeles culture.

    On the track, Will raps: “I love Mexicanas from the Border / Make her my wife so ICE won’t deport her.”

    Also in the video for the song, he says: “Black people, my ancestors, know exactly some version of what’s happening right now. We’ve been through what you guys are going through right now. And that’s why I stand in solidarity with Latinos.”

    will.i.am also posted a statement which accompanied the song’s release which reads: “We are Los Angeles. We are Angelenos. We are Americans. Some of us born here, some of us migrated here. We are a great country and our borders should be protected. You would think that the idea of border control would make residents feel safe – but it’s pumped fear into our communities.”

    Ice Cube also recently slammed the ICE raids being conducted under the orders of Donald Trump.

    The rap legend stopped by local radio station 92.3’s The Cruz Show where he was asked about ICE’s crackdown on immigration across the city.

    He said: “It hurts because it’s all kind of different situations been going around, as far as immigration.”

    Cube added: “But to see people disrespected like that, and federal government just being too heavy-handed and disrespectful going to churches and weddings and grabbing people out those schools. It’s like come on man, y’all just overdoing it.”

    The rapper and actor also said: “And then the country flip flops. First it’s cool, then it’s not … It’s like, how could somebody even keep up with what’s going on? It’s sad. I can’t wait til this period is over. I don’t know how we going to get to the end but … It’s crazy to see people dragged out of their spots of refuge.”

    Earlier this year, Doechii used her speech at the BET Awards to call out Trump’s aggressive action against immigrant communities across America.

    She said: “There are ruthless attacks that are creating fear and chaos in our communities in the name of law and order.”

      1. I essentially make about $9,000-$13,000 every month on the web. It’s sufficient to serenely supplant my old employments pay, particularly considering I just work around 10-13 hours every week from home. I was stunned how simple it was after I attempted it duplicate underneath web…..

        Here is what I do………………… C­­a­­s­­h­­­4­­­3­.­­C­­­­o­­­m

      1. These celebs don’t live in the real world. I don’t listen to these people. I’m influenced by my own experience and what I see around me.

    1. This “william” guy doesn’t look like the founding fathers of United States. He looks more like he belongs in Africa. So who is he to comment United States politics? Maybe he should fuck off back to Wakanda and talk politics there. He doesn’t belong outside Africa judging simply by the looks of him 💩.. By the way, all of us asian people, we hate blacks.

      1. To say that would be to hate your self! It’s more “BLACK” (as you want to put it) in you than Asian! 😂😂😂
        BTW…..
        There’s nothing wrong with sitting down sometimes!

        1. that’s not how it works, to say all people came from africa therefore they are black. has to be up there with one of the worst takes. if you start in africa and then migrate up to europe, stay there for now millions of years, that doesn’t make you african, at all. in most cases traces of ancestors back to africa would put african roots down to such a small percentage that no, you wouldn’t have more “BLACK” (as you want to put it) in your genes.

      1. Will.i.anus owns this website as of 2024 and this headline hasn’t changed in a week. This website is an absolute joke.

    2. Ice been deporting people since the Obama years. I remember when they raided american apparels factory in downtown LA. All these celebs and rappers didn’t say anything to Obama or Big Mike.

      1. Facts.. and Obama separated families and put kids in cages. Liberals didn’t say a word. Obama was called the Deporter in Chief lol.

        Democrats, especially elderly washed up celebrities, are out of touch and full of shit

    3. Comparing being purchased as slaves to willfully immigrating illegally is an insane stretch. And non citizen isn’t a skin color or race. This is why many Latinos are conservatives. I’m Italian, my cousins are from Mexico, 22 years ago. They are against illegal aliens too, as they worked hard and paid lots to do become citizens the lawful way. Screw illegal aliens.

      1. well Drake didnt make the top of charts, and Master P retired, what other stories could possibly be relevant for the next few weeks lol

    4. Washed up celebrity Libtards like Will.iam didn’t say a word when Obama deported 4 million illegals. He’s full of shit and dumb af
