Rihanna forbids Trump from using her songs at rallies

-

AFTER PHARRELL, RIHANNA has objected to US President Donald Trump using her music at his campaign rallies ahead of the midterms. The singer took to Twitter to protest after she learnt that her hit track

Don’t Stop the Music was reportedly played at a campaign rally Sunday for Republican Senate candidate Marsha Blackburn in Chattanoog­a, Tennessee.

Rihanna was tipped off by Washington Post White House bureau chief Philip Rucker.

“(Neither) me nor my people would ever be at or around one of those tragic rallies. Thanks for the heads up Philip (sic)!” she tweeted her reply to Rucker.

The developmen­t comes after Rihanna endorsed Florida Democratic gubernator­ial candidate Andrew Gillum on Instagram.

Last week, Pharrell Williams sent a ceaseand-desist notice to Trump after his popular track Happy was played at the US president’s political rally, the same day of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting.
