Trump keeps stealing music. Beyoncé and other artists are sick of it
On Tuesday, Donald Trump’s campaign tried to co-opt Beyoncé’s 2016 song “Freedom”—the campaign anthem of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris—in a video it released on social media to troll Harris.
However.
Shortly after Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung posted the video, Beyoncé smacked the campaign with a cease-and-desist, and Cheung quietly deleted the post. No word yet on whether that came with an apology, but it seems pretty unlikely given it’s Trump we’re talking about.
