Ariana Grande Slams Trump’s White House for Using Her Song to Promote ICE Deportations: ‘Barbaric, Inhumane, Heinous Nonsense’

Ariana Grande condemned the White House on Tuesday for using a modified version of her 2024 song "Bye" in a TikTok video promoting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportations. The video, which has since been removed, showed ICE agents arresting and handcuffing individuals. Grande commented directly on the TikTok post, demanding that the Trump administration cease using her music for such purposes. She described the administration's actions as "barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense." The singer emphasized her opposition to the "cruel and inhumane" policies associated with the deportations depicted in the video. This incident highlights the ongoing tension between artists' rights and the political use of their work, particularly in sensitive contexts like immigration policy.
