Trump Plays ‘Purple Rain’ At Minneapolis Rally Singer’s Estate ‘Furious’

MINNEAPOLIS, MN. (THECOUNT) — The estate of late musician Prince are incensed after President Trump played “Purple Rain” at a rally, nearly one year exactly to the date when the campaign agreed to stop playing the purple one’s music.

Trump was in Prince’s hometown of Minneapolis Thursday at The Target Center. Before the rally started, “Purple Rain” played throughout the arena on loudspeakers.

The decision to play the famous Prince song pissed off the singer’s estate, who in a statement said, “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 Prince Estate will never give permission to President Trump to use Prince’s songs,” reports TMZ on Thursday.
