As the performances roll on during tonight’s Grammys, one stood out for its political message aimed at President Donald Trump and his travel ban.

A Tribe Called Quest started their performance with a message. “We like to say all around the world, all those people who are pushing people who are in power to represent them. Tonight, we represent you,” Q-tip said, adding he dedicates their performance to Malik Taylor, also known as Phife Dawg.

With Anderson .Paak, they performed a medley of songs: “Award Tour,” “Movin Backwards,” and “We the People…”

Busta Rhymes took the opportunity to address Trump directly, saying, “I want to thank President Agent Orange for perpetuating all of the evil that you have been perpetuating all throughout the United States. I want to thank President Agent Orange for your unsuccessful attempt at the Muslim ban! When we come together, we the people!”
