Few presidents have polarized the world like former president Donald Trump. Once the world's most powerful man, Trump has always been a controversial figure. At his rallies, Trump has played some of the most iconic music ever, much to the dismay of many iconic musicians who don't support his policies or rhetoric one bit. With his 2016, 2020, and now 2024 campaign, he continues to run into the same problem.
In February 2024, Trump held a campaign rally in Maryland during which the famous Sinéad O'Connor song 'Nothing Compares 2 U' was played. Shortly after, O'Connor's estate and longtime record label Chrysalis Records released a joint statement demanding that Trump cease using her music at his events. "It is no exaggeration to say that Sinéad would have been disgusted, hurt, and insulted to have her work misrepresented in this way by someone who she herself referred to as a 'biblical devil,'" it read. "As the guardians of her legacy, we demand that Donald Trump, and his associates desist from using her music immediately." O'Connor sadly passed away at the age of 56 just a few months ago.
