On March 2, the singer took to social media to criticize the Trump administration as she clarified that she did not authorize use for her track on the White House&#8217;s Feb. 10 TikTok, which featured fighter jets and apparent strikes. \u201cIt\u2019s 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,\u201d she wrote in part, adding, \u201cLove 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 our nervous systems is the opposite of what I stand for.\u201d The White House appeared to respond to Kesha\u2019s statement as Steven Cheung, Assistant to the President and White House Director of Communications, wrote in reply to Kesha\u2019s post, \u201cAll these \u2018singers&#8217; keep falling for this. This just gives us more attention and more view counts to our videos because people want to see what they\u2019re bitching about. Thank you for your attention to this matter.\u201d After Cheung\u2019s statement, Kesha issued another tweet which read \u201cstop using my music perverts\u201d before tagging the White House&#8217;s official X account. As of March 3, the TikTok is still on the White House\u2019s account.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kesha is speaking out after the White House used her song \u201cBlow\u201d in a video without permission.
