UPDATE: Nov. 6, 2018, 3:26 p.m. AEDT Rihanna's legal team has issued a cease-and-desist letter to Trump, asking the president stop using the artist's music at political events.

"It has come to our attention that President Trump has utilized [Rihanna’s] musical compositions and master recordings, including her hit track ‘Don’t Stop the Music,’ in connection with a number of political events held across the United States,” reads a letter sent by Rihanna's lawyers to Trump’s White House counsel, obtained by Rolling Stone.
