Ariana Grande Blasts White House Over Use of Her Song in Immigration Video
Ariana Grande is at the center of a growing dispute with the White House after a White House affiliated account used her song “Bye” in a social media video tied to immigration enforcement operations.
The post featured footage linked to immigration arrests, but it was Grande’s response that quickly grabbed attention online.

The pop star appeared to direct her criticism at both the video and the policies it promoted. She also suggested that she never approved the use of her music.
The comment sparked a wave of reactions, with fans flooding social media to support the singer while others backed the administration.

The dispute has once again put the spotlight on the long running battle between artists and public figures over the unauthorized use of music.
