Hayley Williams has drawn the ire of President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security.

When performing her Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party track “Ice in My OJ,” the singer shouted “Fuck ICE” and “Free Palestine” during her stop in Chula Vista, California, over the weekend. The declarations have become a staple at her concerts since the launch of the Hayley Williams Show in September, which includes her pre-”True Believer” onstage statement that “the greatest threat to American democracy is Christian nationalism.”

Fox News reached out to a DHS spokesperson for comment on Williams’ ICE remarks following her show. “America is grateful all the time for our federal law enforcement officers who keep us safe,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “We suggest Ms. Williams to thank them for their service, not belittle their sacrifice.”

On Monday, Williams took to her Instagram Stories, posting a screenshot of DHS’ statement alongside her own suggestion: “And may I suggest all Nazi bitches suck on my fat dick.”

A DHS rep did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone‘s request for comment.

The Paramore frontwoman is among the stacked headliners slated for the 2027 edition of Primavera Sound Barcelona in Spain. It takes place at Barcelona’s Parc del Fòrum from June 3 through June 5 and includes Doechii, Phoebe Bridgers, Fontaines D.C., FKA twigs, Turnstile, Massive Attack, Robyn, and more artists on the top of the roster.

Williams released her most recent solo album, Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party, last year. In August, six months after Williams and producer Daniel James launched their new band, Power Snatch, with EP1, the duo dropped EP2 on Bandcamp.

Brian May Says Queen Won’t Tour Again: ‘50 Years Is Enough’

Queen + Adam Lambert haven’t performed since their Rhapsody world tour wrapped up at Japan’s Tokyo Dome on Feb. 14, 2024. And in a new interview with The Times, guitarist Brian May revealed the band won’t ever return to the road.

“I made a decision 18 months ago that I didn’t want to tour again,” May said. “A close family friend died when we were in the States, so I said to my tour manager, ‘I’ll just nip home for a few days and come back.’ She looked me in the eyes and said, ‘You know you can’t do that.’ I love to play, I love to travel, but the trade-off is sacrificing your freedom. I have a wife [the actress Anita Dobson], grandchildren and a lot of astrophysics I want to do, so I’m thinking maybe 50 years is enough.”

Metallica’s 'Life Burns Faster' Sphere Residency May Be Bigger Than Metallica

Forget Sin City’s “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign. This past weekend, visitors should have been greeted with one that said, “Welcome to Planet Metallica.” Everywhere on the strip you’d see folks wearing black Metallica T-shirts — in casinos, on pool decks, even in the Venetian hotel’s gondolas. Tickets for the band’s Life Burns Faster residency at the city’s ginormous Sphere sold out quickly, so folks who managed to score tickets wanted to show off.

The band themselves called the Vegas residency a “takeover,” sort of a lifestyle-branded convention including special bars for fans, a giant pop-up store, and even a blood drive in addition to the concerts. And while Metallica and their fans have colonized cities with these sorts of events many times, this time felt different.
