Pop star Beyoncé reportedly threatened legal action over the Donald Trump campaign’s use of her song, Freedom, in a campaign video.
On Tuesday, Trump spokesman Steven Cheung posted a short video on his X feed of Trump deboarding from his plane as the Beyoncé song plays in accompaniment.
A Beyoncé insider, though, reportedly told Rolling Stone that the singer quickly contacted the Trump campaign and threatened to sue.
Cheung deleted the video featuring the tune sometime late on Wednesday.
Neither Beyoncé, nor the Trump campaign made any public statements over the controversy.
This is not the first time an artist has threatened Trump for using a song without permission.
Also this month, the family of late singer Issac Hayes demanded that Trump’s campaign stop using his 1996. song, “Hold On, I’m Coming,” which was sung by duo Sam & Dave.
