Eminem asks Vivek Ramaswamy to stop using his songs for US presidential campaign
Live MintEminem has issued a formal request to Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy, urging him to refrain from using his musical creations in his political campaign. This disclosure, initially reported by the Daily Mail, relayed that the renowned American rapper’s music would no longer be licensed for utilisation in Ramaswamy's campaign, following the artist's request. The official letter, penned by BMI, underscored the objection raised by Eminem, whose legal name is Marshall B. Mathers III, against the utilisation of his musical compositions, collectively known as the "Eminem Works", in the context of Ramaswamy's campaign. Acknowledging the musician's request, Ramaswamy's campaign, when approached by CNN, has affirmed its commitment to complying with the directive, promptly discontinuing the use of Eminem's music in its political activities.
