She's not suing him and the video in question is still using the music so no copyright claim has been made or upheld yet. So this is performative nonsense. Pure virtue-signalling "look at me I told the nasty man to stop using my music I'm on your side" whilst actually doing nothing about it.

Oh yeah if she doesn't actually do jack shit about it then yeah, 100% performative nonsense.
