Eminem's Cease and Desist Letter Sparks Pop Star vs. Politician Battle

Biotech multi-millionaire and prospective US Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has been "banned" by Eminem from using his music on the campaign trail after Ramaswamy performed the rapper's hit song "Lose Yourself" at the Iowa State Fair. Ramaswamy, who considers the song his "life's theme song," aimed to align himself with the struggle of overcoming adversity, but the rapper and his publishing company have now told him to stop using the music. This incident highlights the ongoing battle between pop stars and politicians over the use of music for political purposes, with artists having the right to remove their music from licensing packages purchased by politicians.
