Grammy Award-winning singer Ariana Grande has publicly condemned the White House for using her 2024 chartbuster "Bye" in a TikTok video that depicts ICE agents making arrests.
According to Reuters, Grande expressed her disapproval in a comment on the TikTok post earlier this week, saying, "Please do not ever use my music in relation to this barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense." A representative for the artist confirmed to Variety that the singer had commented, although it was not publicly visible on the post for unclear reasons.
Grande's team also worked to remove the audio from the video, and the clip was muted shortly after the comment was posted.
Grande backed Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election and previously performed for Barack and Michelle Obama at the White House's 2014 Women of Soul event.
White House did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comments.
