Beyoncé Threatens Legal Action Against Trump Campaign

Beyoncé is reportedly threatening legal action against Donald Trump's 2024 campaign after her song "Freedom" was used without permission in a video posted by campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung. The 13-second clip featured Trump deboarding a plane in Michigan, and the song has been associated with Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign, who has used it with Beyoncé's consent. Sources indicate that Beyoncé's team has issued a cease-and-desist order, but as of now, the video remains active on social media. Trump's campaign has a history of using artist music without permission, leading to multiple legal disputes. Just recently, the family of Isaac Hayes announced a lawsuit for unauthorized use of his song at Trump rallies. The ongoing controversy highlights artists' rights in the political arena, particularly regarding music licensing and usage.
