As a fierce advocate of women’s rights and a converted Muslim, Sinead O’Connor was not a fan of Donald Trump — and that’s putting it lightly. In a 2021 interview, the Irish singer-songwriter said, “I actually do believe Donald Trump is the biblical Devil, the fucker.”

So you can understand her estate’s consternation over Trump’s decision to play O’Connor’s version of “Nothing Compares 2 U” at his recent campaign rallies. In a statement released on Monday, O’Connor’s estate demanded that Trump cease playing the song immediately.

“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. 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. It is no exaggeration to say that Sinéad would have been disgusted, hurt and insulted to have her work misrepresented in this way by someone who she herself referred to as a ‘biblical devil.’ As the guardians of her legacy, we demand that Donald Trump and his associates desist from using her music immediately.”

According to Variety, “Nothing Compares 2 U” was played at Trump’s rallies on Maryland and North Carolina this weekend.

Over the years, a numbers of artists and bands have seen their music soundtrack Trump’s campaign rallies without permission, including Prince (who wrote “Nothing Compares 2 U”), Guns N’ Roses, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Phil Collins, Rihanna, and The Rolling Stones. Most recently, Johnny Marr rebuked Trump for playing The Smiths’ “Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want” at a campaign rally, saying: “I never in a million years would’ve thought this could come to pass. Consider this shit shut right down right now.”

O’Connor passed away of natural causes on July 26th, 2023 at the age of 56. She is among the finalists for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s Class of 2024.
