"After the White House released a new ICE propaganda video using music from her 2022 SNL skit "Big Boys," SZA accused the Trump administration of "rage baiting artists" by using their work without permission. "White House rage baiting artists for free promo is PEAK DARK," she wrote on social media. "Inhumanity + shock and aw[e] tactics ..Evil n Boring ""
"SZA's comments come after Sabrina Carpenter blasted the "evil and disgusting" White House for using her song "Juno" in a similar ICE video. SZA is, of course, only the latest artist to push back against the use of their music to advance Trump's anti-immigration policies. JAY-Z, MGMT, and The Cure have all issued DMCA takedowns, while The Pokémon Company issued a statement disavowing their song's use."
