Kesha has furiously struck out against The White House after learning her music had been used in a TikTok to ‘incite violence and threaten war.’
On February 10, Kesha’s track Blow was used in a video The White House uploaded which featured a military ship being struck by a missile. ‘Lethality,’ the video was captioned.
On Monday, Kesha didn’t hold back as she slammed the use of her song and President Donald Trump himself.
‘It’s come to my attention that The White House has used one of my songs on TikTok to incite violence and threaten war,’ she posted to X on Monday.
‘Trying to make light of war is disgusting and inhumane. I absolutely do NOT approve of my music being used to promote violence of any kind. Love always trumps hate. please love yourself and each other in times like this.
‘This show of blatant disregard for human life and quite frankly this attack on all of our nervous systems is the opposite of what I stand for.’
‘Also, don’t let this distract us from the fact that criminal predator Donald Trump appears in the Files over a million times,’ she concluded.
Trump is mentioned more than 3,000 times in the latest Epstein file release.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) said inclusion does not suggest any wrongdoing, adding that some documents contained false claims against the president.
Trump has denied any wrongdoing and has not been accused of any crimes linked to Epstein.
Kesha is not the first musician who has hit out against the White House for using their music against their wishes.
Last year Sabrina Carpenter viciously blasted The White House after they used her song Juno in a video celebrating arrests made by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
‘this video is evil and disgusting,’ she said. ‘Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.’
Olivia Rodrigo was also outraged to learn her song, All American Bi***, had been used in a similar video.
‘Don’t ever use my songs to promote your racist, hateful propaganda,’ she said.
The Department of Homeland Security told TMZ at the time: ‘America is grateful all the time for our federal law enforcement officers who keep us safe.
‘We suggest Ms Rodrigo thank them for their service, not belittle their sacrifice.’
Another social media post from the White House earlier this month raised eyebrows when it spoofed Taylor Swift’s The Fate of Ophelia to The Fate of America.
Multiple people online pointed out that Trump had repeatedly criticized Swift, who has historically used her valuable endorsement to support Democratic candidates.
