Sama Abdulhadi, whose nick name is "the queen of underground Palestinian techno music," says she hasn’t endorsed the Democratic candidate and didn’t give permission for her to be shown in the Harris campaign’s ad focused on the rebirth of Detroit.

 

Abdulhadi said the use of her image in the ad was done without her approval, adding, "The use of the footage was unauthorized and was done without my consent, and the footage implies that I endorse VP Harris.

 

Abdulhadi criticized the use of her image in a political campaign, which features footage of her performing at the Movement festival in Detroit. The DJ emphasized that she does not endorse any U.S. political party and found the use of her image misleading and offensive.

 

She has stated that she is taking legal steps to have the ad retracted to prevent any false association with the Harris/Walz campaign.

 

It takes a nerve for VP Harris to use the image of a Palestinian woman in a campaign ad without her consent while actively supporting and funding the Israeli genocide in Gaza. I'd say, Palestinian DJ Sama Abdulhadi should sue VP Kamala Harris for a lot of money
