Kehlani won two Grammys for 'Folded,' earning Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song, with 'Folded' reaching the Billboard Top 10. The acceptance moments included a public rejection of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, featuring the phrase "Fuck ICE" and an 'ICE out' pin on a sheer black Valdrin Sahiti gown. The pin belonged to the Be Good–ICE Out campaign honoring Americans harmed by ICE and was also worn by artists including Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Olivia Rodrigo, Becky G, Brandi Carlile, Finneas, and Billie Eilish. Kehlani expressed gratitude to their adoptive mother and has a background attending Oakland School for the Arts, transferring to Berkeley High, and performing with Poplyfe on America's Got Talent.
