Adele
Slams Donald Trump For Using Her Songs During Presidential Campaign
Donald Trump has used Adele’s music as part of his campaign
to help win him votes, and Adele is not happy about it. The Hello
hit maker who has slammed Donald Trump for using her songs during presidential
campaign, also issued a statement to insist that she is not endorsing the
Republican presidential candidate
The Republican presidential
candidate played Adele’s Rolling In The Deep as his “warm-up”
music for his campaign, which carries the slogan ‘Make American great again’.
She has now issued a statement to
distance herself from his campaign and to confirm that she’s not endorsing his
political agenda.

"Adele has not given permission
for her music to be used for any political campaigning," her spokesman
confirmed to the BBC.
Trump previously found himself on
the receiving end of a cease-and-desist letter last year from Aerosmith star
Steven Tyler’s lawyers. The politician used the band’s song, Dream On,
at several of his rallies around the United States.
The rockers claimed that Trump’s use
of their song gave “a false impression” that they endorsed his presidential
bid.
Trump used the opportunity to write
about it on Twitter and said that while he was legally okay to use the track,
he had found "a better one to take its place".
"Steven Tyler got more
publicity on his song request than he's gotten in 10 years. Good for him!"
he wrote.
It’s thought that Trump played
Adele’s song for the first time at a rally in Lexington, South Carolina, last
week.
