Beyoncé has issued a legal warning to the Trump campaign, demanding they cease using her song “Freedom” in political materials.
The clash arose after the former president’s team featured the 2016 anthem in a video that circulated online, showing Donald Trump exiting an aircraft and arriving in Michigan. Though the post has since been removed, the incident prompted the “Crazy in Love” singer to take action. Reports indicate that the song “Freedom” has also been prominently featured in Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign activities, with Beyoncé’s explicit permission. Despite not officially endorsing Harris, Beyoncé has cleared her schedule to attend a fundraiser supporting Harris. The move followed concerns raised by Beyoncé’s inner circle about Trump’s “Project 2025” plans.
