As the campaign period for the U.S. presidential seat continues, presidential candidates including Donald Trump have recently received a memo from Adele to stop using her music during their campaigns, The Chicago Tribune reports.

After reportedly playing Adele's "Skyfall" hit song numerous times on the Republican presidential candidate's campaign, the publication revealed that Adele has announced that she is not allowing any of the U.S. presidential candidates to make use of her hits.

"Adele has not given permission for her music to be used for any political campaigning," Adele's spokesman said in an email on Monday obtained by the news agency.

The news comes after Trump's grand entrance for his campaigns usually involved Adele's "Skyfall," which is famous in the James Bond film of the same title, the news outlet reports. The Jamaica Observer even says that Trump has also used "Rolling in the Deep" in one of his campaigns in New York.

This issue is controversial since performers and artists like Adele are sensitive to the fact that their music could give people the belief that they are supporting such candidate, when, in fact, they are not, The Chicago Tribune reports.

Even though Trump and other candidates like Bernie Sanders have reportedly received permission from music licensing organizations like IBM, some performers are still against them using their music, the news agency said.

Meanwhile, as the GOP candidate remains to be silent on the matter, some musicians have expressed their support to Trump's platforms. Azealia Banks recently shared several posts on Twitter mentioning the real estate businessman and how she is in support of his presidency. "I think Donald Trump is evil like America is evil and in order for America to keep up with itself it needs him," Banks wrote on Twitter.


The African-American singer continued to slam Democrats candidates like Hilary Clinton and Sanders saying, "Just because Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders say nice things about minorities doesn't mean they actually mean them," she wrote on Twitter.

As the U.S. presidential elections nears, candidates like Trump, Sanders, Clinton, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and others have all geared up, campaigning non-stop, most recently in Iowa, The Guardian reports. The recent results in the Iowa caucuses show that Cruz is leading and behind him is Trump.

The news agency also revealed that after Iowa, candidates will go straight to New Hampshire, which will cast their votes on Feb. 9.
