Kesha calls Trump a “predator” and the White House responds

Kesha has joined the Radiohead and Sabrina Carpenter club, among others, and criticized the use of her song ‘Blow’ in a White House video showing a missile destroying an enemy ship. However, this has gone a step further, describing Trump as a “criminal predator” who appears “a million times in Epstein’s files.”

In her statement, Kesha clarified that she does not approve of the use of her music “to promote violence of any kind” and called not to be distracted from the fact that “Donald Trump’s criminal predator appears a million times in the archives.” Steven Cheung, White House communications chief, has personally responded to the singer with his X account.

«All these singers continue to sing. This simply gives us more attention and views to the videos because people want to see what they are complaining about. Thank you for your attention to this matter,” Cheung posted. It remains to be seen to what extent it is favorable to repost statements that refer to the country’s president as a “criminal predator.”

Kesha, finishing the matter, dedicated one last message to the White House: “Stop using my music, perverts.” The last to denounce the unauthorized use of their music in US government affairs were Radiohead, who told ICE to “fuck” after they used ‘Let Down’ in a propaganda video.
