\n\tDJ Snake<\/a> will not, apparently, turn down for American political conventions.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a statement Wednesday (Aug. 21) on X, the French producer responded to the performance of his 2013 Lil Jon<\/a> collab \u201cTurn Down for What\u201d being performed by the Atlanta rapper<\/a> during night 2 of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tEvery Song Played During the 2024 DNC Roll Call & Their Hot 100 Peaks: Beyonc\u00e9, Taylor Swift\u2026\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\n\t\u201cI did not and do not allow the use of my music to be played at a political event of any kind,\u201d the artist wrote<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe performance of \u201cTurn Down for What\u201d was a widely discussed moment at the DNC on Tuesday night, with Lil Jon making a surprise appearance during the state roll call, representing for his native Georgia by appearing in the crowd and performing the raucous classic. For this roll call, each state picked a song<\/a> related to it, with other selections including New Jersey choosing \u201cBorn in the U.S.A.\u201d by native son Bruce Springsteen\u2019s and Kansas selecting Kansas\u2019 \u201cCarry On My Wayward Son.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWith his tweet, DJ Snake joins a growing list of musical artists who\u2019ve objected to the use of their music at political events. During the 2024 presidential election cycle alone, artists including The Smiths, Celine Dion, Beyonc\u00e9 and the estate of late artist Isaac Hayes have spoken out against Donald Trump using their music at his rallies and events.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut while DJ Snake may not be happy with his music being played at the Convention, other DJs seem cool with it. Immediately after President Biden\u2019s speech on Monday during the first night of the convention, Kygo<\/a>\u2018s 2019 remix of Whitney Houston\u2019s \u201cHigher Love\u201d was played over the United Center\u2019s speakers, with this play marking a full-circle moment, given that it was played<\/a> at the end of Biden\u2019s victory speech after he and Vice President Harris won the 2020 presidential election.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso on the first night of the 2024 DNC, first lady Jill Biden walked onstage to the 1998 Fatboy Slim<\/a> classic \u201cPraise You.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Wednesday night (Aug. 21), John Legend is set to perform, while P!nk will take the stage<\/a> for Thursday\u2019s closing night.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
