Adéla hit out at Donald Trump and his administration for using her song in a social media post without permission.
The Slovakian singer is currently enjoying worldwide success off the back of her hit Nicole Kidman, which the White House used in a video earlier this week to encourage people to vote Republican in the US midterms.
Posting on her own TikTok the following morning, Adéla told her followers that she had woken up to discover the video, which marked her “so fucking wrong on so many levels because I stand for about zero of the things that party stands for and that person stands for”.
“I feel like they’ve done this a lot with a lot of other artists just to get people to rest and generate more attention for their flopping accounts,” she continued, referring to recent incidents with the likes of Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo, Taylor Swift, and Britain’s own Jade. “So I urge you not to go and watch that video.
“But let me use this attention to give you a message of my own. As the singer of the song Nicole Kidman, I also challenge you to vote in today’s midterms. I personally cannot do this because I am an immigrant, but I would like to do this and if I had the power I would. And so, please do.”
Adéla told her followers that she “would like to vote for a party that loves immigrants and that believes in accessible and safe abortions, fosters an environment where people can be free and be themselves and feel safe, and [a party that] care about the future of the country for the young people who will soon have to grow up and have to deal with the consequences of our actions that we choose today.
“And by me I mean you,” she added. “Because I can’t do it because I’m an immigrant, what [makes it] crazy that they use mine [song]. But they did it!”

“Fuck you guys for using my song,” Adéla concluded, accompanying her post with a blue heart, in a nod to the Democratic Party.
In the US midterms, the Democrats did even better than the polls predicted in a decisive victory, control of the House of Representatives and the US Senatewhen the voters turned against the American president.
