The Kamala Harris presidential campaign has come under fire from renowned DJ and electronic music artist Sama Abdulhadi after the unauthorized use of her image in a political ad.
Sama Abdulhadi expressed her disapproval on social media, stating that the footage used without her consent falsely implies her endorsement of Harris’s candidacy, which she vehemently denies.
“The use of this footage was unauthorized and done without my consent,” Abdulhadi declared on Instagram. She added that this misrepresentation goes against her social, moral, and political values, further calling it “misleading political advertising” by the Kamala Harris presidential campaign.
The Palestinian DJ, who is a celebrated figure in the electronic music world, emphasized that she had never supported nor endorsed Kamala Harris. “I am taking the necessary legal steps to ensure that this video is promptly retracted,” Abdulhadi stated, showing her commitment to clearing any misconceptions about her association with the campaign.
The controversy has sparked discussions around the ethical use of public figures’ images in political advertising, with Abdulhadi receiving overwhelming support from her fanbase and the global music community. The unauthorized use of her image has raised significant legal and moral questions about how political campaigns approach media representation, especially when it involves international figures.
While Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign has yet to respond publicly, this incident underscores the need for political teams to ensure proper authorization when using images or footage of public figures.
This case might set a precedent for future legal actions in the realm of political advertising, where the line between ethical use and exploitation of public figures continues to blur.
