Addison Rae Drags DHS With Copyright Strike Over ICE Video Using “Diet Pepsi”

It appears Addison Rae has filed a copyright claim against the Department of Homeland Security after the agency used her song “Diet Pepsi” in a promotional video, which led to the disabling of media capabilities on its post.

The Homeland Security tweet is showing a copyright takedown notice that says, “This media has been disabled in response to a report by the copyright owner.”

Social media reaction was swift, with people appreciating Addison Rae’s actions by posting compliments in the replies. Many referred to it as “mother behavior,” adding that this act was retaliation for earlier reports that Rae was MAGA-supporting. The fans noted the difference between her and other artists who have willingly allowed their songs to be used in political or governmental posts.

One tweet went viral, stating, “It’s crazy how Addison Rae has been more politically outspoken the past month than Taylor has her whole life.” Another tweet followed it saying, “And before I see any ‘see Taylor that wasn’t so hard’ bs, I didn’t even know that video was up, and I only found out BECAUSE she filed for copyright and the news was therefore shared.”
