Ariana Grande<\/a> has hit back at the White House after one of her songs was used in a TikTok post promoting immigration arrests carried out by ICE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, the official White House TikTok<\/a> account uploaded footage showing people being handcuffed and detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. The video was set to Grande’s track ‘Bye’ and accompanied by the caption: “Bye-bye. President Trump has delivered the most secure border in history.”<\/p>\n

Days later, Grande reportedly responded directly beneath the post, condemning the use of her music. She wrote: “Please do not ever use my music in relation to this barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense. F*** ICE.”<\/p>\n

However, by Friday (12 June), the comment was no longer visible on the video. Grande’s representatives later confirmed to Variety<\/a> that she had left the message, but said that “for some reason it’s not publicly visible”.<\/p>\n

The clip has also since been stripped of its original soundtrack. At the time of writing, TikTok displays a notice stating: “This sound isn’t available.”<\/p>\n

Responding to Grande’s criticism, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told Indy100: \u201cWe\u2019ll say this one last time: what\u2019s actually barbaric, inhumane, and heinous are the criminal illegal aliens who have injured and murdered innocent American citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grande is not the first artist to object to the White House using their music in immigration-related social media content.<\/p>\n

Last year, Sabrina Carpenter spoke out<\/a> after her song ‘Juno’ featured in a similar White House video. Reacting on X\/Twitter, she wrote: “Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”<\/p>\n

Jackson later fired back, saying: “Here\u2019s a Short n\u2019 Sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter: we won\u2019t apologize for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles from our country. Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid, or is it slow?”<\/p>\n
