Jess Glynne Condemns White House Use of Song in Deportation Meme

British singer Jess Glynne has strongly condemned the White House's use of her song "Hold My Hand" in a viral meme-style video related to ICE deportations. The official White House X account posted a video using the Jet2 Holiday ad's audio remix, combining Glynne's song with clips of deportees in handcuffs, which sparked widespread backlash for trivializing a serious issue. Glynne expressed that her music is about love, unity, and positivity, and called the White House post "sickening" and "disgusting," clarifying that she and her team were unaware of the usage and are exploring legal options. The controversy has ignited a broader debate on the ethical use of music in political content, with many fans and musicians supporting Glynne and criticizing the government for appropriating her work without consent. Social media users also reacted negatively, highlighting the inappropriateness of the government’s tone in the post. As of now, the White House has not publicly addressed the backlash, and the video remains online with limited comments.
