Zara Larsson is turning heads and raising eyebrows with her fearless critique of ICE and its agents. The Swedish pop sensation took to Instagram on Saturday, just days after the tragic shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, to share her unfiltered thoughts. In a passionate Instagram Story, Larsson listed her loves, including immigrants, abortions, "slutty women," and socialism, before dropping the mic with, "I fucking hate ICE."
Naturally, Larsson's bold statements didn't sit well with everyone. The singer, known for her outspoken nature, faced a wave of conservative backlash. She fired back in a series of follow-up posts, questioning whether ICE agents feel "really cool" after "terrorizing communities and families." Her sharp critique didn't stop there. Larsson went on to label their job as the "most ridiculous evil clown on the planet."
“I’m just saying there’s thousands and thousands of people who go to jail and prison over none violent crimes like drugs, mostly black and brown people because of Ronald Reagan being racist in the 80s and fucking up communities,” Larsson continued.
Larsson's comments stirred further controversy when she included "criminals" in her list of loves. She wasn't backing down from that either. "People in my DMs are like 'aahhhh criminals?!?!?!?' Girl YES, heavy on that," she wrote. Larsson shared that her boyfriend, Lamin Holmén, a Swedish dancer, has been barred from entering the U.S. due to a past marijuana-related record in Sweden, despite having turned over a new leaf.
Her impassioned posts highlight the ongoing issues of racial disparity and the consequences of past political policies. Larsson's fiery words serve as a reminder of the power of celebrity voices in social and political discussions, even when they spark controversy.
