Don’t Use My Music’ — Ariana Grande Blasts US Govt Over Immigration Video

Don’t Use My Music’ — Ariana Grande Blasts US Govt Over Immigration Video

American pop superstar Ariana Grande has strongly criticised the United States White House administration under President Donald Trump for using her music in an official video highlighting immigration enforcement operations.

The dispute arose after the official White House social media account published a TikTok video compilation featuring enforcement actions by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The clip was backed by Grande’s hit song, “Bye.”

Reacting publicly to the broadcast, the singer strongly disapproved of the administration’s border enforcement policies, calling them inhumane.

She explicitly demanded that the White House stop using her creative catalogue for political promotional materials and concluded her statement with a strong anti-ICE declaration.

In response to the singer’s criticism, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson issued a statement defending the administration’s actions and enforcement record.

“We’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,” Jackson stated.

With this development, Grande joins a growing list of p international musicians, including Beyoncé, Celine Dion, and Rihanna, who have publicly challenged the administration’s unauthorised use of their music in political campaigns and government content.
