A dispute between pop singer Kesha and the White House escalated after the administration dismissed the singer’s criticism over the use of one of her songs in a social media video, as reported by Fox News.

The disagreement began when the White House posted a video to TikTok on Feb. 10. The clip appeared to show military footage of a jet launching a missile that struck an enemy ship.

The video included the caption “Lethality” and was set to Kesha’s song “Blow.”

Kesha responded publicly after seeing the video, criticizing the administration for pairing her music with footage related to military force.

"It's come to my attention that the White House has used one of my songs on TikTok to incite violence and threaten war," she wrote on social media Monday. "Trying to make light of war is disgusting and inhumane."

The singer, who is 39, also stated that she did not approve of the use of her music in that context.

The “Die Young” singer said she "absolutely" does not "approve of my music being used to promote violence of any kind."

"Love always trumps hate. Please love yourself and each other in times like this. 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," the post continued.

Kesha later directed a message toward President Donald Trump in another post.

"Stop using my music, perverts @WhiteHouse," she wrote on X.

Officials in the administration responded by dismissing the criticism and suggesting the backlash from entertainers was drawing additional attention to their content online.

Deputy Assistant to the President and White House Deputy Communications Director Kaelan Dorr commented on the dispute in a post on X.

"Kesha quotes are like Popeye's spinach to this team. Memes? They'll continue. Winning? Will also continue," Dorr wrote.

White House Communications Director Steven Cheung also addressed the situation in a post on X.

"All these 'singers' keep falling for this. This just gives us more attention and more view counts to our videos because people want to see what they're b----ing about. Thank you for your attention to this matter," Cheung wrote.

The exchange comes as several entertainers have criticized the administration for using their music in government-related social media posts.

Singer Sabrina Carpenter previously objected after her song “Juno” was used in a video posted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Carpenter criticized the video and wrote on social media, "Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda."

The White House responded at the time through spokesperson Abigail Jackson.

"Here's a Short n' Sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter: we won't 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?" Jackson said.

Kesha’s criticism also included references to President Trump and renewed attention surrounding public court filings connected to Jeffrey Epstein.

In January, more than three million additional records connected to Epstein were released by the Justice Department. The documents included personal emails and other materials.

The New York Times reported that Trump’s name appeared roughly 38,000 times in documents released in January. Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing connected to his past association with Epstein.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche addressed the matter in comments to Fox News Digital, stating that the released communications did not indicate any criminal conduct by Trump.

"In none of these communications, even when doing his best to disparage President Trump, did Epstein suggest President Trump had done anything criminal or had any inappropriate contact with any of his victims," Blanche said.

Fox News Digital reported that it reached out to Kesha’s team for comment regarding the dispute with the White House.

The online back-and-forth has drawn attention on social media platforms as clips and posts related to the TikTok video continue circulating.
