Pop star Adele has issued a statement to distance herself from Donald Trump, after he used her music at his rallies.
The Republican presidential candidate, whose slogan is "Make America great again", has recently been playing Adele's hit Rolling In The Deep as his "warm-up" music.
"Adele has not given permission for her music to be used for any political campaigning," her spokesman confirmed.
It is not the first time Trump has been criticised for appropriating pop songs.
Lawyers for Aerosmith star Steven Tyler sent Trump's campaign a cease-and-desist letter last year, after the politician played the band's hit single Dream On at numerous rallies around the US.
The letter said Trump's use of the song gave "a false impression" he endorsed Mr Trump's presidential bid.
Trump responded on Twitter, saying he had the legal right to use the song, but had found "a better one to take its place".
"Steven Tyler got more publicity on his song request than he's gotten in 10 years. Good for him!" he added.
I know, no publicity like free publicity for a showman like The Donald, but at some point one has to wonder if he's the guy were going to get. America really does deserve a professional troll for President, frankly.
You know, if it wasn't for the fact he'd burn the country down by 2018.
