Kesha called out the Donald Trump administration on Monday for trying to “incite violence and threaten war” with a clip set to her music.

The pop star responded on social media to the White House sharing an edited clip, set to the soundtrack of her hit “Blow,” that depicts a fighter jet launching a missile before it hits a ship.

(Note: The ship appears to be a decommissioned U.S. Navy frigate that Australian, Canadian, Malaysian and American forces sunk in a 2022 warfare exercise.)

“Lethality 🔥🦅,” reads the caption of the TikTok clip shared last month.

Kesha condemned the White House for using one of her songs to “incite violence and threaten war.”

“Trying to make light of war is disgusting and inhumane. I absolutely do NOT approve of my music being used to promote violence of any kind,” wrote Kesha, who is among a number of musical acts that have slammed the president and his administration for the use of their music.

“Love always trumps hate. please love yourself and each other in times like this 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.”

She added a reminder of Trump’s ties to his old buddy, late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, writing, “Also, don’t let this distract us from the fact that criminal predator Donald Trump appears in the Files over a million times.”

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) has said in viewing the Justice Department’s unredacted files on Epstein, “I typed in the words ‘Trump,’ ‘Donald or Don’ and it came up with more than a million results.” And The New York Times reported that the files contain over 38,000 references to Trump, his wife, his Mar-a-Lago estate and related words.

White House Communications Director Steven Cheung, in response to Kesha, suggested that “all these ‘singers’ keep falling” for the administration using their music on social media.

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

The pop star hit back with a blunt reply, “Stop using my music, perverts @WhiteHouse.”

Stop using my music, perverts @WhiteHouse

The White House, when asked why it’s “Lethality” hype video shows the sinking of an old American ship named after Marine Sgt. Rodney Maxwell Davis, a Medal of Honor recipient, replied with links to Cheung’s post and another likening Kesha’s post to “Popeye’s Spinach” for the communications team.
