Singer Vanessa Hernandez, who performs under the name “Nezza,” sang the National Anthem in Spanish to show solidarity with anti-ICE rioters, despite being instructed not to do so by Dodgers officials.
Wearing a Dominican Republic shirt, Nezza posted a video on TikTok in which she was told to perform the anthem in English, but sang it in Spanish anyway, before the Dodgers’ game against the San Francisco Giants.

“We are going to do the song in English today,” the official says, before it cuts to a clip of her ignoring the instructions.
The entitled performer posted another video explaining that she was surprised when she was told to sing it in English.

“I didn’t think I’d be met with any sort of no,” Hernandez said. “I just felt like I needed to do it. I’m still very shaken up and emotional.”
Hernandez continued, “Especially because we’re in L.A., and with everything happening. I’ve sang the national anthem many times in my life, but today, out of all days, I could not. I’m sorry.”
“I could not believe when she walkied in and told me no. For anyone who has been following me for a while, you will know everything I do is out of love,” the singer claimed. “I am proud of myself for doing that today because my parents are immigrants. I just can’t imagine them being ripped away from me, even at this age. Let alone little kids, what are we doing?”
The singer concluded, “Anyways, thank you for all the messages. I love you guys so much. Safe to say I am never allowed in that stadium again.”
According to reports, Hernandez is unfortunately NOT banned from the stadium.
Violent riots have been taking place daily in Los Angeles since June 6 in response to Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in the area.
