American music icon Beyoncé has ignited a storm of controversy by quickly approving the use of her song “Freedom” for Kamala Harris’s campaign.
Sources close to Harris revealed to CNN that Beyoncé, known for her stringent control over her music, granted the request just hours before Harris’s campaign event featuring the track.
The timing of this approval has raised eyebrows, especially with President Joe Biden’s unexpected withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race.
Biden’s exit, announced Sunday, followed intense pressure from Democratic leaders, major donors, and Hollywood figures after a lackluster debate performance.
The connection between Beyoncé’s endorsement and Biden’s withdrawal has fueled speculation and debate about the shifting dynamics in American politics and celebrity influence.
