Palestinian DJ Samaâ Abdulhadi says she âdid not approveâ the use of her image in a new ad from the Kamala Harris presidential campaign.
In a statement posted Tuesday (Oct. 22) to social media, the techno producer wrote that âthe use of this footage was unauthorized and done without my consent. The use of this footage implies that I endorse Vice President Harrisâs presidential candidacy, which is totally and utterly false; it is deeply offensive to my social, moral and political beliefs and is misleading political advertising by VP Harrisâs presidential campaign.â
The commercial in question is titled âDetroit vs. Trumpâ and was released amid heavy campaigning by Harris and her running mate Tim Walz in the 2024 swing state. The ad contains footage of Adulhadi performing at Detroitâs annual Movement festival this past May.
âFor the avoidance of doubt,â Abdulhadiâs statement continues, âI do not endorse nor have I ever endorsed, Vice President Harris, and I am taking the necessary legal steps to ensure that this video is promptly retracted, to dispel any notion of an association between myself and VP Harrisâ campaign for the U.S. presidency.â In the caption, she writes that âI am Samaâ Abdulhadi, and I did not approve this message! I donât endorse any US political party.â
Trending on Billboard
Abdulhadiâs statement comes amid continued criticism of the Harris campaign by many Muslim and Arab Americans, given the Biden administrationâs support of Israel amid the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas. This conflict is estimated to have killed more than 40,000 Palestinians since the war began last October.
The New York Times reports that in an effort to win the votes of Arab and Muslim voters, the Harris campaign has âlaunched Facebook ads targeting Muslims, created WhatsApp channels and distributed fact sheets with Ms. Harrisâs most forceful statements on the war in Gaza. And in private meetings in living rooms and basements across the country, including in the battleground states of Michigan, Georgia and Pennsylvania, campaign workers are trying to reach voters who say they may stay home, vote third party or even vote for former President Donald J. Trump because of the Biden administrationâs policies in the Middle East.â
Green Party candidate Jill Stein commented on Abdulhadiâs post, writing, âWowâŚunbelievable.â
Speaking at the Amsterdam Dance Event last week in the Dutch capital, Abdulhadi spoke on her position as a Palestinian artist. âThe resistance is doing what the people in the Arab world and what the young people in universities are doing,â she said. âThe peopleâs movement is the thing that is now pushing me to do things, and thatâs why Iâm still DJing. I would have literally quit the industry a year ago if it wasnât for for that; if it wasnât for the crowds that Iâm getting now. Every gig I do now is a protest.â
With two weeks to go until Election Day on Nov. 5, many other artists are rallying around the vice president. Eminem is scheduled to make a rare public appearance Tuesday night at a Detroit rally for Harris, where he will reportedly introduce former president Barack Obama at the event supporting the VP and Walz.

Hulu released a trailer for the feature doc on Tuesday (Oct. 22) ahead of its arrival on the streaming giant on Nov. 18. At one point in the clip, Shyne alleges that he was âset upâ to be the âfall guyâ in the club shooting, which led to Diddy getting off scot-free.
âI was absolutely set up to be the fall guy,â Shyne claimed. âI spent 10 years in prison, but I was able to move on. Thereâs a time to pivot, thereâs a time to transition.â
The scene pivots to a Diddy press conference following the club shooting, which the mogule attended with his girlfriend at the time, Jennifer Lopez. âI had nothing to do with a shooting in this club,â he emphatically stated.
Shyneâs heart turned cold while watching other artists thrive throughout the 2000s, while he himself lost out on his opportunity at stardom behind bars.
âOne of the most difficult parts of it was watching everybody succeed. Watching 50 [Cent],â he said. âI spent 10 years in prison, but I was able to move on. Thereâs a time to pivot, thereâs a time transition. And thatâs how I got into politics.â
Following his sentencing in 2001, Shyne was released from prison in 2009 and immediately deported to Belize. He pivoted to a career in politics, and currently serves as the Leader of the Opposition in the Belize House of Representatives.
Shyne commented on the nature of his currentrelationship with Diddy following the embattled Bad Boy mogulâs arrest on federal sex trafficking and RICO charges in September.
âI was defending him, and he turned around and called witnesses to testify against me,â he recalled of the 1999 shooting. âHe contributed ⌠he pretty much sent me to prison. That is the context by which you must always describe that [relationship]. I forgave. I moved on. But let us not pretend as if I was in Miami for Thanksgiving and Christmas.â
Shyne added at the time: âSo, let us not lose sight of what the cold, hard facts are. This is not someone who I vacationed with and who he and I enjoyed this great, intimate relationship of brotherhood. This is someone who destroyed my life and who I forgave and who I moved on and for the better interest of Belizeâ
The Honorable Shyne arrives on Nov. 18. Watch the trailer below.

âI grew up wearing my brotherâs Bean Boots, so the brand has always been a part of my life,â he said in a press release. âWearing L.L. Bean makes me feel like Iâm outside, even if Iâm not, and this is important because going outside is self care for me, especially when it comes to my mental health. Including Penny is also just so special as sheâs been my closest confidant during the creation and launch of Stick Season, so this collection is really personal and nostalgic for me.â
