Baltimore, MD, September 30, 2026 —

Lawyers representing the R&B artist JMSN have formally requested the removal of the artist’s song, titled ‘Love Me,’ from a political advertisement associated with President Trump’s campaign. The demand was communicated via a cease-and-desist letter sent to the White House.

The legal action centers on the unauthorized use of JMSN’s music in campaign materials. The letter specifically calls for the immediate withdrawal of the advertisement featuring the song ‘Love Me.’ The specific date on which the cease-and-desist letter was issued was not provided.

Details regarding the specific political advertisement, including when it was first broadcast or distributed, were not specified in the information available. Likewise, the extent of the song’s usage within the advertisement and the response, if any, from the White House or the Trump campaign were not detailed. The specific terms of the cease-and-desist letter beyond the demand for removal were also not provided.

The legal process for utilizing copyrighted music in political advertisements can be complex, often requiring explicit licensing agreements. Failure to secure proper rights can lead to legal challenges, such as the one initiated by JMSN’s representatives. The specific legal grounds cited in the cease-and-desist letter were not made public.

As of the information available, the full scope of the dispute and any subsequent actions or resolutions remain unclear. The contractor responsible for creating or distributing the advertisement was not identified. The outcome of the demand for removal is pending.
