The White House is mocking Kesha after the singer rejected the use of her music by the US military

The American singer Kesha (39 years old), like many artists, protested the way Donald Trump's administration used her music in the United States. The source of his anger: the White House's use of his 2010 song “Blow” in a promotional video posted on TikTok.

In this video, published on February 10 and viewed more than 16 million times on the social network, US military fighter jets launch a missile at what appears to be an enemy ship. The message accompanying the video is “Lethality”.

“I discovered that the White House was using one of my songs on TikTok to incite violence and threaten war,” Kesha wrote on social media, denouncing the “disgusting and inhumane” glorification of a conflict, reports News.ro.

“I absolutely do not approve of my music being used to promote violence. Love always triumphs over hate,” the singer added, before concluding: “Let's not be distracted by the fact that predatory criminal Donald Trump appears over a million times in The (Epstein) Files.”

The White House: “These “artists” only increase our views”

A message that certainly attracted the attention of the White House. “All these 'artists' are being ridiculed. This only increases the views of our videos, because people want to see what they are complaining about,” White House communications director Steven Cheung replied dismissively.

In recent months, many artists and bands, such as Kesha, the Rolling Stones, Céline Dion and Sabrina Carpenter, have denounced the use of their music without approval by the Trump administration and its various services, including the anti-immigration police.

The most recent example is British band Radiohead, who lashed out at ICE after the US Department of Homeland Security used a cover of their song “Let Down,” a track from their 1997 album “Ok Computer.”
