“President Trump played Prince’s ‘Purple Rain; tonight at a campaign event in Minneapolis despite confirming a year ago that the campaign would not use Prince’s music,” read the statement .

An example of this, is Rihanna finding out and putting a stop to Trump’s use of her song “Don’t Stop the Music”, which was brought to light by the The Washington Post‘s Philip Rucker at a Trump Chattanooga, Tennessee rally.

Rih’s team sent Trump a cease-and-desist, not to long after ( she played no games !). Other high profile artists such as Adele, Pharrell Williams, and Earth, Wind & Fire, have also expressed that they don’t want their music used for Trump’s endeavors .
