White House Provokes Artists with 'Rage Baiting' Tactics

Description

The White House is escalating tensions with singer SZA, following her criticism of their social media tactics as rage baiting. The administration used a lyric from her song in an immigration enforcement video, prompting SZA to label their strategy as evil and boring. The White House responded sarcastically, highlighting a pattern of using music from politically liberal artists. SZA condemned the administrations inhumanity and shock and awe tactics. This isnt an isolated incident, with other artists like Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter also speaking out against the use of their songs in similar contexts. The strategy seems to generate more publicity for the White House, as artists feel compelled to distance themselves from the administrations messaging.
