A spokesperson for Donald Trump, Steven Cheung, posted a video on social media earlier this week featuring Beyoncé’s song “Freedom.” Not long after, the singer issued a cease-and-desist to Trump’s presidential campaign, according to reports from Rolling Stone.
As fans of the star already know, not long ago, Bey personally approved making “Freedom” the official campaign theme song for Vice President Kamala Harris. It’s not hard to tell that the Trump campaign video was an attempt to troll the Harris campaign, but in the end, it all seemed to blow up in Trump’s face. Within hours of the cease-and-desist being threatened, the video was removed from social media.
Following President Joe Biden announcing his decision not to seek reelection, Kamala wasted no time, walking out to the podium while “Freedom” played during her first public appearance. Shortly thereafter, her campaign dropped an official launch video featuring the song.
According to reports from CNN, Harris’ team got approval from Bey’s representatives to use “Freedom” throughout her campaign just a few hours before she walked out to the song.

While Beyoncé hasn’t personally endorsed Harris for president, giving her permission to use her song might as well be one–especially after denying Trump that same privilege. Plus, Kamala already got the cosign from one of Bey’s closest confidants: her mother, Tina Knowles.
Knowles wasted no time in announcing her endorsement, posting a picture of her and Vice President Harris to Instagram along with some glowing words about the presidential candidate.
“New, Youthful, Sharp , , energy !!!! You asked for it and our President Biden did what was best for the country,” Mama Tina wrote in her caption. “Putting personal Ego , power and fame aside . That is the definition of a great leader. Thank you, President Biden for your service and your leadership . Go Vice President Kamala Harris for President. Let’s Go. #kamala2024.”
