The estate of singer Sinéad O’Connor is demanding — in no uncertain terms — that the presidential campaign of Donald Trump cease playing her music at his rallies and events. Her estate released a joint statement with her record label, Chrysalis Records, stating that the late singer-songwriter would have been “disgusted” to know that her work was being used by the former president, whom she had previously referred to as a “biblical devil.”

The candid statement comes on the heels of the Trump campaign playing the biggest hit of O’Connor’s career — the Prince-penned ballad “Nothing Compares 2 U,” from her second studio album — at number of events in his campaign to win the Republican nomination for president.

“Throughout her life, it is well known that Sinéad O’Connor lived by a fierce moral code defined by honesty, kindness, fairness, and decency towards her fellow human beings,” the joint statement read. “It was with outrage therefore that we learned that Donald Trump has been using her iconic performance of Nothing Compares 2 U at his political rallies.”

O’Connor, who died last year of natural causes at the age of 56, had been an outspoken critic of Trump following his 2016 election.

“Nobody should think he’s doing this just so he can get elected,” she said in an interview with Hot Press during the final year of Trump’s first term in office. “He is devilish enough that he believes in this stuff. They should have dragged him out of the White House at the point he separated the first child from their parents at the Mexican border.”
