Pharrell Williams is not playing games with Donald Trump.
The super-producer was outraged when the Cheeto-In-Chief played “Happy” at a Midwest rally hours after 11 people were massacred at the Tree of Life synagogue by Robert Bowers.
Pharrell sent Trump a cease and desist through his attorney Howard King that read:
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.
There was nothing ‘happy’ about the tragedy inflicted upon our country on Saturday and no permission was granted for your use of this song for this purpose.
King added that his client has not and will not ever grant permission for Donald Trump to use his song and any use without his consent constitutes both copyright and trademark infringement.
Bloop.
