Renowned DJ Sama Abdulhadi is taking legal action against the Kamala Harris presidential campaign for unauthorized use of her image in a political advertisement. The Palestinian electronic music artist strongly denies any endorsement of Harris's candidacy.

"The use of this footage was unauthorized and done without my consent," Abdulhadi stated on Instagram. She emphasized that the misrepresentation contradicts her social, moral, and political values, labeling it as "misleading political advertising."

The controversy has garnered significant support from Abdulhadi's fanbase and the global music community, raising questions about proper authorization and media representation in political campaigns.

While the Harris campaign has not yet responded to these allegations, this case could establish important precedents for the use of public figures' images in political advertising.
