Beyoncé threatens Trump with cease and desist order for using the word “Freedom” in his election campaign

On Wednesday, Trump spokesman Steven Cheung released footage of Trump supporting his campaign, with Beyoncé’s lemonade Title “Freedom” as soundtrack. Rolling Stone reports that Beyoncé did not give permission for this and is threatening a cease and desist order. “Freedom” is approved for use in Kamala Harris' presidential campaign, so it is unlikely that Beyoncé would have given the green light for her opposition.

Since the beginning of his election campaign, Trump's team has used songs by Johnny Marr, Céline Dion, Isaac Hayes and Sinead O'Connor without permission.
