SNP pulls general election campaign video with song featuring sexually explicit lyrics
30.05.2024 - 11:05 / dailyrecord.co.uk
The SNP has pulled a campaign video after it used a song which includes sexually explicit lyrics.
In a clip shared on TikTok, the Nationalists promoted a range of their best-known policies - including the Baby Box given to new parents - to the soundtrack by Pretty Girls Walk by American rap artist Big Boss Vette.
The song is marked with an explicit disclaimer on steaming platforms such as Apple, as it features lyrics such as: "No matter what the f*** these h*** talkin' 'bout, just know you a bad bitch, every motherf*****' time that you wake up, and you look in that motherf*****' mirror".
Another line includes the phrases: "s******' on my ex, on to the next, he know this p***y good 'cause he always come back".
The SNP told the Record the TikTok post has now been taken down.
The use of TikTok by political parties to promote campaign messages has soared in recent years.
But the social media giant remains controversial over the security of users' data and its links to the government in Beijing.
Big Boss Vette first went viral in 2015 for creating her own version of Dej Loaf's song "Try Me"
The 26-year-old signed to Republic Records after her song "Bad Bitch" saw success on YouTube.
Politicians from both major US political parties have called for a law that bans TikTok unless owner ByteDance agrees to sell the app to a non-Chinese company.
They fear the Chinese government could force ByteDance to hand over data about TikTok's 170 million US users. TikTok insists it would not provide foreign user data to the Chinese government.

“American Psycho.”Sevigny, 49, and co-star Josh Lucas did an interview with Vanity Fair and looked back on how Bale, 50, used method acting when playing serial killer Patrick Bateman in the 2000 psychological horror film.“I was trying to respect his process, which I found challenging because I’m very gregarious and silly and goofy, unbeknownst to the general public,” Sevigny said in the interview published June 7.“When people take themselves so seriously, I kind of shut down, even though I take my work very seriously and I love acting and whatnot,” she added.The “Feud: Capote vs. The Swans” star admitted she was “really intimidated” by Bale’s method acting approach.“And I wanted a little more generosity to make myself feel more at ease, which is my own ego,” Sevigny shared.

Five of the past season’s miniseries featured outstanding scores along these lines. For producers Gary Goetzman, Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, “Masters of the Air” marked the completion of a World War II trilogy (after “Band of Brothers,” about American soldiers in Europe, and “The Pacific,” about Marines in the Pacific theater), and composer Blake Neely worked on all three.
