Kesha Slams White House for Unauthorized Use of 'Blow' in TikTok Video

In a recent social media post, Kesha has condemned the White House for using her song "Blow" in a TikTok video. The singer accused the administration of a "blatant disregard for human life" for using the song.

In an Instagram Story and X post on March 2nd, Kesha stated that the administration used her song to "incite violence and threaten war." She emphasized that she does not approve of her music "being used to promote violence of any kind" and that it goes against her values.

Kesha's post concluded by calling Trump a "criminal predator" and referencing his mentions in the Epstein Files. According to The New York Times, Trump's name appeared 38,000 times in the public documents related to Jeffrey Epstein released in January.

Kesha joins a growing list of artists who have publicly objected to the unauthorized use of their music by the White House and the Trump administration in promotional videos, social media posts, and rallies.

In December, the White House removed an ICE video featuring Sabrina Carpenter’s song “Juno” after the artist called the video “evil and disgusting.” Carpenter demanded that the administration not involve her or her music in promoting their “inhumane agenda.”

The White House then used an edited video from the Grammy winner’s Saturday Night Live promo. In the clip, Carpenter appears to say “I think I might need to arrest someone for being too illegal,” but the word “illegal” was falsified. The original promo had Carpenter telling *SNL’*s Marcello Hernandez that she’s arresting him for being too hot. This video was also taken down.

Other artists, including Olivia Rodrigo, Celine Dion and Foo Fighters, have also protested the Trump administration's use of their music. SZA criticized the administration for using popular music as a distraction, calling it “PEAK DARK” in a December post.

As of this article's publication, the “Blow” TikTok remains active with 1.8 million likes and nearly 17 thousand comments. The White House has not yet responded to Kesha’s Instagram Story.
