Pharrell isn’t happy about President Donald Trump using his music for rallies, particularly hours after an egregious hate crime has taken place in the nation.
On Saturday, Pharrell’s “Happy” was played at a rally hosted by Trump mere hours after a massacre in a Pittsburgh synagogue. Pharrell wasn’t having it and sent a cease-and-desist order barring the president from using any of his music at his events, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

“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,” the music mogul’s lawyer, Howard King, said in the order.
