Squash was transferred to ICE custody on Tuesday after his release from the Federal Correctional Institution in Oakdale, Louisiana, ending a 27-month federal sentence for being an alien in possession of a firearm.

The filing has sparked debate over whether a dancehall-rooted record belongs in a rap category, or whether the crossover is exactly the point. As a second, distinct Grammy play alongside the Global-category submission for “For You,” it tests how far Beenie Man’s music can travel.
