Rihanna and Axl Rose are NOT feeling Donald Trump‘s musical choices!
As you’re all no doubt aware, the President has been going around the country the entire time he’s been president holding weird MAGA rallies in order to lie to fire up his base… but the music he’s playing is causing a LOT of controversy!
You may have heard last week Pharrell demanded the POTUS stop playing Happy.

At a recent rally in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Trump’s campaign team instead played Rihanna over the loudspeakers before The Donald walked out… and word got back to RiRi, who was NOT feeling it at all (below):
Not for much longer…me nor my people would ever be at or around one of those tragic rallies, so thanks for the heads up philip! https://t.co/dRgRi06GrJ

Axl Rose laid out exactly how Guns ‘N Roses feels about Trump using the band’s music at his rallies in a series of tweets (below), and it’s pretty interesting:
Just so ya know… GNR like a lot of artists opposed to the unauthorized use of their music at political events has formally requested r music not b used at Trump rallies or Trump associated events.

Unfortunately the Trump campaign is using loopholes in the various venues’ blanket performance licenses which were not intended for such craven political purposes, without the songwriters’ consent.
Can u say “shitbags?!”????

And when ur phone’s blowin’ up cuz peeps r seein’/hearin’ Sweet Child on the news at a rally… as a band we felt we should clarify r position. Peace!????????

Having said that my personal position is that the Trump administration along w/the majority of Republicans in Congress n’ their donors that support him 4 their own agendas r doing r nation a disservice.

Who will stop at nothing 4 power feeding off the anger n’ resentment he sows 24/7 while constantly whining how whatever doesn’t go his way is unfair.
— Axl Rose (@axlrose) November 4, 2018
Most of us in America have never experienced anything this obscene at this level in r lifetimes n’ if we as a country don’t wake up n’ put an end 2 this nonsense now it’s something we definitely will all pay hard 4 as time goes on.
— Axl Rose (@axlrose) November 4, 2018
Considering Trump won’t even listen to his intelligence apparatus, we’re guessing he’s not going to listen to the complaints of these artists.
But he really should only walk out to the music of his supporters, like Ted Nugent and Kid Rock and… Well, that’s about it.
Sad!
