Beyoncé threatens Trump campaign with CEASE-and-DESIST letter over ‘Freedom’ video 😱
Beyoncé has reportedly sent a cease-and-desist letter to Donald Trump’s campaign, objecting to the use of her song “Freedom” in one of their promotional videos.
The letter, which highlights unauthorized usage of her music, is part of a growing trend of musicians pushing back against political campaigns that use their work without permission. Beyoncé, known for her activism and vocal support for various social justice causes, likely finds her song’s use in alignment with Trump’s messaging problematic.
The track “Freedom,” from her critically acclaimed *Lemonade* album, holds deep personal and political meaning, particularly regarding the fight for racial justice. Beyoncé’s legal team emphasized that she does not endorse the campaign and demands that the song be removed from all promotional materials immediately. Similar conflicts have arisen with artists like The Rolling Stones and Neil Young, who have also taken legal steps to prevent their music’s association with Trump’s campaign.
