\nPharrell Williams sent a legal notice to Donald Trump after his popular track “Happy” was played at the US president’s Saturday political rally, the same day of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting.<\/p>\n
Williams’ lawyer sent a cease-and-desist letter to the POTUS for using the “Despicable Me 2” song at a gathering in Illinois’ Murphysboro, hours after 11 people were killed in the mass shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue.<\/p>\n
“On the day of the mass murder of 11 human beings at the hands of a deranged ‘nationalist’, you played his song ‘Happy’ to a crowd at a political event in Indiana.<\/p>\n
The letter further read that Williams had not and would not grant Trump permission “to publicly perform or otherwise broadcast or disseminate any of his music”.<\/p>\n
“The use of ‘Happy’ without permission constitutes copyright infringement,” King added in the letter.<\/p>\n
The shooting took place earlier Saturday where three separate congregations were holding services. The suspect, Robert Bowers, was charged with 29 counts, ranging from murder with a firearm to numerous hate crime charges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
