Kesha has joined the likes of Olivia Rodrigo, the Rolling Stones, Celine Dion, Radiohead, Sabrina Carpenter, Isaac Hayes and more who have complained about Donald Trump using their music at rallies and in videos.

The singer/songwriter took to social media to slam the administration for putting her song Blow under a February TikTok posting of a jet launching a missile and destroying what appears to be an enemy ship, titled 'Lethality'.

"Trying to make light of war is disgusting and inhumane. I absolutely do 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."

"All these 'singers' keep falling for this," posted WH Communications boss Steven Cheung in response.

"This just gives us more attention and more view counts to our videos because people want to see what they're bitching about."

Kesha then snapped back, "Stop using my music, perverts @WhiteHouse."

The jet fighter short has garnered more than 15 million views on TikTok so far.
