Ariana Grande Files $500 Million Lawsuit Against Donald Trump Over Alleged Unauthorized Use of Her Music in ICE Video
**Los Angeles, California** — Pop superstar Ariana Grande has reportedly filed a $500 million lawsuit against former President Donald Trump and associated organizations, alleging the unauthorized use of her music in a controversial immigration enforcement video that has sparked widespread backlash online.
According to court documents reportedly filed this week, Grande claims one of her songs was featured without permission in a social media video promoting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations. The singer’s legal team argues that the video’s content was inconsistent with her personal values and public image, describing the footage as “barbaric, inhumane, and heinous.”
The lawsuit alleges copyright infringement, unauthorized commercial use, and reputational harm, seeking substantial damages and an immediate injunction preventing further distribution of the video.
In a statement released through her representatives, Grande expressed outrage over the alleged use of her work, emphasizing that artists should have control over how their music is associated with political messages and government actions.
Representatives for Trump have denied wrongdoing and have yet to comment directly on the lawsuit’s claims. Legal analysts note that disputes involving the use of music in political messaging have become increasingly common in recent years, with several artists objecting to the use of their songs at campaign events, advertisements, and political media.
The case is expected to draw significant public attention due to the high-profile figures involved and the broader debate surrounding intellectual property rights, political speech, and artistic consent.
If the lawsuit proceeds, it could become one of the most closely watched legal battles involving a major recording artist and a former U.S. president.
