Prince’s estate has asked President Donald Trump to stop using the artist’s music at his rallies.

“The Prince Estate has never given permission to President Trump or The White House to use Prince’s songs and have requested that they cease all use immediately,” the estate wrote in a statement on Thursday.

The statement was organized by Jeremiah Freed, according to the Star-Tribune, after he saw a video of “Purple Rain” playing at a recent rally. Freed, who is also known as Dr. Funkenberry, is a radio host who was friendly with Prince and who maintains ties with his family.
