Most artists would appreciate a mention of former President Barack Obama, but not indie rock musician Lucy Dacus.
The lead singer and guitarist of all-female band Boygenius called Obama a “war criminal” after he included one of the band’s songs in his summer playlist.
Obama posted his annual music slate on social media on July 20.
“As I do every year, here are some songs I listened to this summer – a mix of old and new. Can’t wait to hear what I missed,” the 44th President wrote on Instagram.

The eclectic list included “Princess Diana” by Ice Spice and Nicki Minaj; “Golden Lady” by Stevie Wonder; “Walk Like an Egyptian” from The Bangles; and “Not Loud Enough” by Boygenius.
Dacus retweeted Obama’s playlist and included the caption “war criminal :(” in his post.
It’s unclear why the Virginia native slammed the former president after he gave his band free exposure.
Some websites have suggested the ingrate musician may have been referring to Obama’s drone program when he was in the White House.
