Prince estate slams Trump campaign for playing ‘Purple Rain’ (again) at Minneapolis event – USA TODAY

“Purple Rain” has no place at  President Donald Trump’s rally, a Prince spokesperson says.

Trump came under fire from deceased musician Prince Rogers Nelson’s estate when one of the singer’s most iconic tunes, “Purple Rain,” was played during the president’s campaign rally in Minneapolis Thursday.

According to Prince’s official Twitter account, the president went back on a promise not to use the musician’s work.

“President Trump played Prince’s ‘Purple Rain’ tonight at a campaign event in Minneapolis despite confirming a year ago that the campaign would not use Prince’s music,” the tweet said. “The Prince Estate will never give permission to President Trump to use Prince’s songs.”

The tweet included an image of a letter from Oct. 15, 2018, from lawyer Megan Newton regarding the estate’s first request that  Trump “refrain from using Prince’s ‘Purple Rain,’ or any other Prince music, in connection with Campaign rallies, or other Campaign events.”

“Without admitting liability, and to avoid any future dispute, we write to confirm that the Campaign will not use Prince’s music in connection with its activities going forward,” Newton wrote.
