SZA criticized the White House for using her music, calling it “PEAK DARK ..inhumanity +shock and aw tactics ..Evil n Boring.”
The White House responded to SZA’s criticism with a surprisingly positive tone, thanking her for drawing attention to the work of ICE officers.
Abigail Jackson, a White House spokeswoman, thanked SZA for highlighting the work of ICE officers in arresting dangerous criminal illegal aliens.
The White House’s response to SZA’s criticism was unexpectedly kind, leading to speculation about a new approach of “kill ’em with kindness” as the White House mantra.
