White House Mocks Popstar’s Complaint About Military Video

By No Comments

The White House mocked pop star Kesha after she blasted the Trump administration for using her music in a viral military video.

President Donald Trump’s communications director Steven Cheung responded with open ridicule after the singer claimed the clip promoted violence and war.

The dispute erupted after a short video featuring U.S. military aircraft and missile strikes began circulating across social media platforms.

The 31-second clip shows fighter jets cutting through the sky before a missile slams into a naval vessel while Kesha’s 2010 hit “Blow” plays over the footage.

The post quickly exploded online. The video has drawn more than 17 million views and over two million likes since it appeared on Feb. 10.

Kesha responded Monday with a furious post accusing the administration of abusing her music.

“Trying to make light of war is disgusting and inhumane,” the singer wrote.

“I absolutely do NOT approve of my music being used to promote violence of any kind. Love always trumps hate.”

She urged followers to reject the message she believes the video promotes.

“Please love yourself and each other in times like this,” Kesha added. “This show of blatant disregard for human life and quite frankly this attack on all of our nervous systems is the opposite of what I stand for.”

Kesha escalated the conflict by referencing documents tied to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

“Also, don’t let this distract us from the fact that criminal predator Donald Trump appears in the Files over a million times,” she wrote.

Trump has not been accused of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein or the crimes committed by his associate Ghislaine Maxwell.

The White House responded within hours and treated the backlash as a gift.

“All these ‘singers’ keep falling for this,” Cheung wrote in a post on X.

“This just gives us more attention and more view counts to our videos because people want to see what they’re bitching about.”

Cheung ended his message with a phrase that has become familiar during Trump’s second term. “Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

The exchange added another celebrity feud to a growing list of entertainers clashing with the administration over the use of music and pop culture in government messaging.

The White House has shown little interest in backing down when artists object to how their work appears in official posts.

Several musicians have already issued public protests after their songs appeared in immigration enforcement videos and political messaging from the administration.

British rock band Radiohead delivered one of the bluntest responses after Immigration and Customs Enforcement used their music in a social media post.

The agency released a video showing portraits of victims killed in crimes involving illegal immigrants.

The clip featured a choral version of the Radiohead song “Let Down” as photos of victims appeared on screen.

ICE paired the video with a message explaining its mission. “Thousands of American families have been torn apart because of criminal illegal alien violence,” the agency wrote.

“American citizens raped and murdered by those who have no right to be in our country. This is who we fight for. This is our why.”

Radiohead answered with an angry demand that the video be removed.

“We demand that the amateurs in control of the ICE social media account take it down,” the band said in a statement distributed to news outlets.

“It ain’t funny, this song means a lot to us and other people, and you don’t get to appropriate it without a fight.”

The musicians ended their message with a blunt insult aimed at the agency.“Also, go f— yourselves… Radiohead,” the band signed off.

Homeland Security officials declined to say whether the video would be removed.

Deputy assistant secretary Lauren Bis defended the agency’s focus on crime victims and criticized the reaction from critics.

“We fight for the Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, Rachel Morin, Katie Abraham and countless other American victims of illegal alien crime,” she said.

“Where is the compassion for the mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters of Americans who have been brutally raped and murdered by criminal illegal aliens?”

Pop singer Sabrina Carpenter also clashed with the White House after one of her songs appeared in a video highlighting immigration arrests.

The post used her 2024 track “Juno” while showing ICE agents detaining suspects across several locations.

“This video is evil and disgusting,” Carpenter wrote after the clip circulated online.

The administration fired back with a message referencing the title of the singer’s recent album.

“Here’s a Short n’ Sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter: we won’t apologize for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles from our country,” White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said.

The White House later posted another video that poked fun at the singer using footage from her appearance on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.”

The altered clip showed Carpenter appearing to say, “I think I might need to arrest someone for being too illegal.”

Actor Marcello Hernández responds in the segment.

“Oh, well, I turn myself in.”

Carpenter then declares, “You’re under arrest!”
