“Don’t Use My Music” — Ariana Grande Blasts U.S. Government Over Immigration Video
American pop star Ariana Grande has publicly criticized the U.S. government after one of her songs was reportedly featured in an immigration-related video without her endorsement.
The singer reacted strongly to the use of her music, stating, “Don’t use my music,” and distancing herself from the message conveyed in the video.
Grande’s comments quickly gained attention across social media, with fans and observers debating the relationship between artists, copyright, and the use of music in government communications.
The Grammy-winning artist made it clear that she does not wish for her music to be associated with policies or messages she does not personally support. Her response was widely shared online, generating significant discussion among supporters and critics alike.
The incident has reignited conversations about whether public institutions, political organizations, and government agencies should seek permission before using music created by artists, particularly when the content may be politically sensitive.
Throughout her career, Ariana Grande has used her platform to speak on various social and political issues, often encouraging civic engagement and expressing support for causes she believes in.
Supporters of the singer praised her for standing by her principles and defending control over how her creative work is used.
Meanwhile, the controversy has drawn broader attention to the growing number of disputes involving musicians and organizations that use copyrighted songs in public campaigns, promotional materials, or political messaging.
As reactions continue to emerge, Grande’s message remains clear: she does not want her music used in ways that imply her support for positions or policies she has not endorsed.
