Kesha Blasts Donald Trump Administration For Using Her Song On Social Media

Kesha has taken aim at Donald Trump and his administration after the White House used her song in a video “to invite violence and threaten war”.

Last month, a video was uploaded to the official White House TikTok account soundtracked by Kesha’s hit Blow, depicting a jet launching a missile, which then destroys a ship.

Addressing her X followers on Monday night, the Grammy nominee wrote: “It’s come to my attention that The White House has used one of my songs on TikTok to incite violence and threaten war.

“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,” Kesha continued. “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 l stand for.”

She then turned her attention to the president, calling on fans not to “let this distract us” from the recent allegation that Donald Trump is mentioned in the unredacted Epstein files “more than a million times”.

The Trump administration’s director of communications Steven Cheung later reposted Kesha’s message, saying on his own X account: “All these ‘singers’ keep falling for this. This just gives us more attention and more view counts to our videos because people want to see what they’re bitching about.

“Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Half an hour later, the Praying singer posted simply: “Stop using my music, perverts.”

Of course, Kesha is far from the first musician to call out Trump and his fellow right-wingers for using their music without permission.

Last week, Radiohead took issue with the US administration after ICE agents used a choral cover of the group’s song Let Down in a social media video.

“We demand that the amateurs in control of the ICE social media account take it down,” they wrote. “It ain’t funny, this song means a lot to us and other people, and you don’t get to appropriate it without a fight. Also, go fuck yourselves…”

Last year, chart-topper Jess Glynne and US singer-songwriter Sabrina Carpenter were irked to find their music being used in social media posts by the White House.

“This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda,” Sabrina wrote, while Jess said: “This post honestly makes me sick. My music is about love, unity, and spreading positivity – never about division or hate.”
