Beyonce Allegedly Threatened Trump With A Cease & Desist For Using “Freedom” In Campaign Video
Beyoncé has threatened to send a cease-and-desist to the Trump campaign after the former president posted a clip of her “Freedom” — Kamala Harris’ unofficial campaign song — in a video posted on social media, Rolling Stone reports.
A source close to Beyoncé tells the outlet that the Trump campaign did not receive permission to use the Lemonade track in the 13-second video of Trump getting off a plane in Michigan that Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung posted Tuesday.
As of press time Wednesday, the video was still up on Cheung’s X account despite her label issuing the cease-and-desist.
