Kesha rebukes Trump administration for unauthorized use of one of her songs ‘to incite violence and threaten war’

What do Radiohead, Rihanna, Aerosmith, ABBA, the Rolling Stones, Village People, Beyoncé, Kenny Loggins, and now Kesha have in common?

Aside from being musicians, all have rebuked Donald Trump or his associates for using their work without permission.

On Monday the 39-year-old pop star joined the unhappy club when she demanded the Trump administration stop using her 2011 dance-pop hit 'Blow' in a TikTok video extolling the “lethality” of America's armed forces amid ongoing air strikes against Iran.

"Trying to make light of war is disgusting and inhuman. I absolutely do NOT approve of my music being used to promote violence of any kind," Kesha wrote on Instagram and X.

"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.
