White House uses Ariana Grande’s song in ICE video, she has one message: β€˜Bye’

Malay Mail

WASHINGTON, June 12 β€” American pop star Ariana Grande told President Donald Trump’s administration yesterday to stop using her music to promote its policies.

The comment came after the White House shared a video on TikTok earlier this week highlighting its immigration policy. The video, which depicts federal agents arresting and handcuffing people, features the Grammy Award-winning singer’s 2024 song Bye.

β€œPlease do not ever use my music in relation to this barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense,” Grande wrote in a comment posted on the White House video on TikTok yesterday.

A source close to the singer said her team is looking into how to remove the music from the video as soon as possible.

Responding to Grande, White House spokesman Abigail Jackson said: β€œWe’ll say this one last time: what’s actually barbaric, inhumane, and heinous are the criminal illegal aliens who have injured and murdered innocent American citizens.”

Grande, a singer and Academy Award-nominated actress, was critical of the Trump administration last year after sharing a post on Instagram asking people who voted for Trump if their lives had gotten better since he returned to office.

Trump, now in his second non-consecutive term, has an active social media presence. Members of his communications team often post short videos that feature popular songs to illustrate the president’s efforts to deliver on his campaign promises.

Some of the videos have featured hit songs while depicting images showing Trump’s immigration crackdown, US military operations against Iran and the arrest of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. β€” Reuters
