Steven Cheung, a spokesperson for Donald Trump, shared a video on his own X account of the former president walking off a plane on Tuesday, Aug. 20, set to the track "Freedom" off Beyoncé's 2016 album Lemonade. "Touchdown in Michigan!! @realDonaldTrump," the caption read.
The use of the song, which also features Kendrick Lamar, instantly caught attention online, as Democratic nominee Kamala Harris has used it at several campaign events.While Beyoncé, 42, has not commented on the video, Rolling Stone reported on Wednesday, Aug.
21, that the Trump campaign did not have permission to use the track and that the singer has threatened to send the Republican presidential nominee's camp a cease-and-desist.
The Harris campaign most recently used the track in a new ad unveiled on Monday, Aug. 19, during the first day of the Democratic National Convention.
Although Beyoncé has not officially endorsed Harris, she's voiced her support for the Democratic party on various occasions, including in 2013, when she sang the national anthem at former President Barack Obama's inauguration.
In 2020, she posted a social media clip encouraging voters for current President Joe Biden.
However, Harris has officially been endorsed by Beyoncé's mother, Tina Knowles.
