Rihanna, Adele, Beyonce, Celine Dion.
00:04
What do they all have in common?
00:06
They have said no to Donald Trump using their music.
00:09
Here's a list of musicians who have said no
00:11
to the Trump campaign.
00:13
♪ Please don't stop the, please don't stop the music ♪
00:16
But Donald did have to stop the music with RiRi.
00:18
In 2018, she posted,
00:20
"'Me nor my people would ever be at or around
00:23
"'one of those tragic rallies.'"
00:25
♪ Riding in the diesel, riding on the diesel, riding ♪
00:29
Adele has been slaying Germany lately,
00:31
but she's not just out of the country,
00:33
she's out of US politics too.
00:35
When Trump used Rolling in the Deep as his walkout song
00:37
at multiple campaign rallies in 2016,
00:40
Adele's spokesperson fired back
00:41
with a statement to Billboard,
00:43
Adele has not given permission for her music to be used
00:45
for any political campaigning.
00:47
Adele loves her some Beyonce,
00:49
and they apparently have this in common.
00:51
Queen B's team sent DJ T a cease and desist
00:54
after a campaign person used her song, Freedom.
00:57
It has been approved for use by B.P. Harris.
00:59
♪ Trying to rain, trying to rain on the thunder ♪
01:02
♪ Tell the storm I'm new ♪
01:04
And Celine Dion's song about a tragic ending
01:07
was used at a Trump event.
01:08
♪ Not my heart will be moved ♪
01:14
The usage prompted this post,
01:16
in no way is this use authorized,
01:18
and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use.
01:21
And really, that song?
01:23
