Beyonce may have given Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris the green light to use one of her 2016 ‘Lemonade‘ hits in campaign visuals, but the Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has not been granted the same freedom.

Just a month ago Bey subtly (but not yet officially) endorsed Harris’ bid for presidency when she allowed the Vice President to use the ‘Lemonade’ smash ‘Freedom‘ in her first campaign video.

Apparently, Trump’s team thought the liberty would be extended to him as well as he included sound bites from the Kendrick Lamar-assisted tune in a campaign video lifted to his social media handles this week.

Quickly landing on the desk of the Queen Bey, her record label and music publisher sprung into action by delivering a cease-and-desist the 78-year-old’s reps.

Late Wednesday night (August 21), the clip was removed from Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung‘s X (Twitter) account.

This isn’t the first time Trump’s gotten slammed by a singer’s camp for unauthorized use of their music.

Less than two weeks ago Pop icon Celine Dion had her team call out the polarizing politician for including her timeless classic ‘My Heart Will Go On‘ at a Republican event.

In the same timeframe, lawyers for the Isaac Hayes estate slammed Trump with a notice of copyright infringement over using the late legend’s iconic ‘Hold On, I’m Coming‘ tune in campaign materials.

As of time reported, Bey nor Donald have directly made a statement about the most recent hoopla.
