O’Connor’s estate asks Trump not to use her music

The estate of singer-songwriter Sinead O’Connor has requested that former President Donald Trump refrain from using her music during his political events. O’Connor, known for her outspoken views and iconic songs such as “Nothing Compares 2 U,” passed away in 2021, leaving behind a legacy of impactful music.

In a statement released by her estate, they expressed their disapproval of Trump using O’Connor’s music, citing that her lyrics and beliefs were not aligned with his political agendas. They emphasized the importance of respecting the artist’s wishes and legacy posthumously.

Many artists have voiced similar concerns in the past when their music is used without permission for political purposes. The issue of unauthorized use of music by politicians has sparked debates on copyright laws and artist rights.

It remains to be seen whether Trump will comply with the request from O’Connor’s estate and choose alternative music for his future events.
