Beyoncé’s team is poised to issue a cease-and-desist order against Donald J. Trump’s campaign for unauthorized use of her chart-topping 2016 song “Freedom.” The controversy began when a Trump campaign spokesperson shared a 13-second video on social media, showcasing Trump’s arrival in Michigan, while the clip featured “Freedom” as its soundtrack—reportedly without the artist’s consent.
The song “Freedom” has gained traction in political campaigns, recently being embraced by Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign and officially featured in multiple advertisements with Beyoncé’s approval. Additionally, the track was prominently showcased during the Democratic National Convention.
