CELEBS/RALLY/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Prince’s surviving family members are asking President Donald Trump to stop using the late rock star’s music at campaign rallies. Prince’s ‘Purple Rain’ has frequently been on Trump’s playlist at recent rallies, including last week in Southaven, Mississippi. Prince’s half-brother Omarr Baker tweeted the estate’s opposition to use of any Prince music by Trump. A spokeswoman for the estate confirmed Friday that a request had been made to discontinue using it. A White House spokeswoman referred questions to the Trump campaign, which didn’t immediately respond.”
