BIA Reacts To Backlash After White House UFC Video Uses Her Song

BIA is responding after finding herself at the center of a social media debate over a White House video that featured her song "We On Go." The controversy started after the White House shared a UFC-related video with BIA's track. Some users criticized the rapper after she reposted the clip, accusing her of endorsing the people or politics associated with the video. One of the strongest defenses came from X user @coii__, who argued that BIA's repost wasn't a political statement but simply an artist sharing content that featured her music. "I called it non-performative because BIA didn't make a public spectacle out of 'condemning' or 'endorsing' anyone for social or public approval," the user wrote. "She simply just reposted a video that used her music instead of making a statement designed to signal virtue or satisfy an audience." The user added that people were misinterpreting the situation by assuming the repost automatically meant support for a broader political message BIA appeared to agree with the explanation, replying, "U are soooo much smarter than most 💕."
