To anybody who has followed my career and knows what I stand for and built my career on, it should go without saying that I would never authorize my music to be used for ANY political agenda or campaign.
For those who are new here, this could have gone 2 ways.
1. The President or his team reach out and ask to license the song, I respond ‘no’ and you never know about it.
2. The President illegally uses the song without asking but still the public goes full retard and immediately assumes that a license was granted.
Obviously it went the second way.
I’ve built my career independently outside of any major system and have made it a point to not sacrifice my artistic integrity. I don’t have a publicist or anything so being forced in a situation like this and having to comment is ridiculous. I am looking at lawyers and handling this internally.
Love yall.
See you on the rest of the tour.
