Ariana Grande warns Trump administration to stop using her songs in immigration videos

Grammy award-winning artiste Ariana Grande has asked the Trump administration to desist from using her music to promote his anti-immigration policies.
The White House posted a 14-second clip on TikTok that showed illegal immigrants in handcuffs being hauled into vehicles.
The video was captioned “Bye bye. President Trump has delivered the most secure border in history.”
Ariana’s hit song “Bye” was playing in the background, but she commented on the post and asked that her song be removed.
“Please do not use my music in relation to this barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense,” the BBC cited Ariana’s comment as saying.
Her comment appears to have been deleted, but the song was removed, and the video no longer has audio.
In a statement to CNN, the White House said, “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.”
This isn’t the first time an artiste has asked the Trump administration to remove their song from a post.
Olivia Rodrigo reportedly asked the Department of Homeland Security and White House to remove her song from an Instagram post telling illegal immigrants to “self-deport.”
“Don’t ever use my songs to promote your racist, hateful propaganda,” the artiste reportedly wrote on June 5.
