Nezza is facing backlash after her recent performance at Dodgers Stadium.
On Saturday (June 14), the 32-year-old singer-songwriter of Colombian-Dominican descent was invited to sing the “Star Spangled Banner” at the Los Angeles Dodgers game.
Despite being advised not to, Nezza performed the National Anthem in Spanish in out of solidarity with the immigrant families who have been targeted by recent ICE raids in L.A.
In a new interview, Nezza said that she was told that she is no longer “welcome” at the stadium following her performance.

Nezza‘s claims directly contradict what the Dodgers previously said about her performance.
“There were no consequences or hard feelings from the Dodgers regarding her performance,” a spokesperson for the Dodgers told Variety. “She was not asked to leave. We would be happy to have her back.”
Nezza said that’s “confused” to the Dodgers’ statement.
“I don’t know who’s not communicating over there, or if they don’t know that she said that to us, and they’re now learning that,” she said. “But yeah, no one’s reached out directly to us yet.”
On the same day as her performance at the Dodgers game, Nezza got very emotional as she spoke about her decision to sing the National Anthem in Spanish.
