Jess Glynne is angry because the White House used her song Hold My Hand in a video about immigrants on X. The British singer says she is “sick” of it.
Glynne’s 2015 song has recently been popular on social media, as an old commercial from airline Jet2 featuring the song is often used in videos. In these videos, people reenact funny vacation situations.
The White House video shows illegal migrants being deported by the American immigration service ICE. While the migrants are led from vans to a plane, the Jet2 commercial plays. At the end, President Donald Trump gives a thumbs up.
Glynne emphasizes that her music “is about love, unity, and sharing positivity, and never about division or hate.” The 35-year-old singer is glad that her song is being used on social media to spread “joy” and “humor.” “But the White House video shows that Trump doesn’t understand either of those things.”
