Musicians Who’ve Slammed Donald Trump for Using Their Songs Without Permission

Here are all the musicians who've slammed Donald Trump for using their music in his campaign, plus the legal action they took against him.

Republican presidential nominee, former U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during the National Guard Association of the United States' 146th General Conference & Exhibition at Huntington Place Convention Center on Aug. 26, 2024 in Detroit, Michigan. In the span of just two weeks in August 2024, for instance, Beyoncé, Foo Fighters and Jack White all expressed their dismay at Trump’s team appearing to use their work without authorization — but it’s a tale as old as the billionaire’s initial presidential run in 2016, when he first became a lightning rod for disgruntled artists. Jason Aldean, Ye, Kid Rock and Sexyy Red are just a few big names who’ve endorsed Trump; however, his 2024 Democratic opponent Kamala Harris has also received an outpouring of support from the music industry’s leaders.
