The Prince estate has requested President Donald Trump to stop using "Purple Rain" at his rallies.

At recent pre-Election Day rallies, like the one Trump held in Mississippi last week, the playlist at the event has featured Prince's "Purple Rain".

"The Prince Estate has never given permission to President Trump or The White House to use Prince's songs and have requested that they cease all use immediately, the statement issued to Entertainment Weekly read.

The Prince estate is the latest in a long line of artistes who have asked Trump to quit using their music at rallies. The Rolling Stones, Neil Young, Tom Petty, Aerosmith and more have all demanded that Trump stop employing their songs, a request that dates back to Trump's time campaigning as the Republican presidential candidate.
