Kenny Loggins is slamming President Donald Trump for using his song “Danger Zone” to take aim at “No Kings” protesters in a bizarre AI video.
“This is an unauthorized use of my performance of ‘Danger Zone.’ Nobody asked me for my permission, which I would have denied, and I request that my recording on this video is removed immediately,” Loggins told Variety in a statement Monday.
Noting that he “can’t imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us,” Loggins continued, “Too many people are trying to tear us apart, and we need to find new ways to come together.”
Over the weekend, Trump posted an AI-generated video of himself dropping what appears to be poop onto protesters at “No Kings” rallies, which were held across the country on Saturday to protest the Trump administration.
In the artificial intelligence-generated clip, a crown-sporting Trump piloting a fighter jet labeled “King Trump” drops a brown substance on the crowd to the tune of Loggins’ song.
