"The use of this footage was unauthorized and done without my consent," Abdulhadi stated on Instagram. She emphasized that the misrepresentation contradicts her social, moral, and political values, describing it as "misleading political advertising."
Abdulhadi has confirmed she's taking legal steps to have the video removed, stating she has never supported or endorsed Kamala Harris. The incident has generated significant discussion about the ethical implications of using public figures' images in political campaigns without proper authorization.
The global music community and Abdulhadi's fanbase have shown strong support for her position, while the Harris campaign has yet to respond to these allegations. This case may establish important precedents regarding the use of public figures' images in political advertising.
