Jack White has shared a statement calling out fake quotes attributed to him that have been spreading on social media.

Sample quotes, which the "Seven Nation Army" rocker captures in screenshots posted to his Instagram, claim White "forbid[s]" supporters of President Donald Trump from attending his concerts.

"If you support that clown [Trump] my shows aren't for you. Stay home and crank your own noise," the fake quote reads.

The real White, meanwhile, says, "I'm getting shown a lot of nonsense from twitter of maga people and bots attributing false quotes to me about excluding people from my shows. I've never said anything about 'forbidding' anyone from coming to my concerts."

While White has certainly been critical of Trump and his administration - his Third Man Records label sells a t-shirt reading "Icky Trump," a play on The White Stripes song "Icky Thump" - he says, " I make music to share with anyone who wants to get something out of it."

"I appreciate anyone who buys a ticket or an album to keep that train moving," White writes. "If you're not interested, that's fine too, I'm just not going to let people (or bots) make up false statements from me so they can get clicks."

He concludes, "Not trying to make a news piece out of this either please, this is just for my fans (whom I love and appreciate) to know I never said that kind of thing."
