Bad Bunny Makes Grammys History as First Spanish-Language Album of the Year Winner, Uses Stage to Protest ICE

  • On Sunday, the Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, won his first Grammy for Meditations: The Reflections of His Holiness the Dalai Lama at the 68th annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, defeating Kathy Garver, Trevor Noah, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Fab Morvan.
  • On Monday, Beijing said it `firmly opposes` using the award for anti-China activities, while Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian called the Dalai Lama `a political exile committed to anti-Chinese separatist activity under the disguise of religion`.
  • Reacting to the recognition, the Dalai Lama said, `I receive this recognition with gratitude and humility`, framing the award as a sign of shared responsibility and messages of peace for eight billion people.
  • With cultural rights at stake, the Dalai Lama has lived in exile since 1959, and China has been accused of trying to erase Tibetan language and identity.
  • The succession dispute centers on Beijing insisting the next Dalai Lama will be born in Tibet and recognized by the ruling Communist Party, while the Dalai Lama says his successor will come from a free country and that China has no role.
