Rihanna slammed President Donald Trump for using her hit song, “Please Don’t Stop The Music,” at his Chattanooga rally Sunday.
The Washington Post’s Phillip Rucker pointed out the change up in music:
It’s been said a million times, but here’s a million and one — Trump’s rallies are unlike anything else in politics. Currently, Rihanna’s “Don’t Stop the Music” is blaring in Chattanooga as aides toss free Trump T-shirts into the crowd, like a ball game. Everyone’s loving it.

And Rihanna, apparently upset at the president for using her music, tweeted that this wouldn’t be the case “for much longer.” (RELATED: Rihanna Is Furious That Trump Is Playing Her Music At His Rally)

It’s worth noting that reports surfaced last month that said Rihanna turned down the opportunity to perform at the Super Bowl LIII halftime show in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick and other players who kneel during the national anthem.
