Village People member Police Officer Victor Willis officially asked Donald Trump on Friday to stop using the band's songs in his political meetings. The artist's appeal particularly concerns Macho Man and YMCA , of which Victor Willis is the co-author, recalls the Huffington Post .
The last decisions of the President of the United States are at the origin of the artist's approach. "If Trump orders the US military to fire on his own citizens on US soil, Americans will rise in numbers around the White House which he may well be forced to leave before the election "Victor Willis said on his Facebook page.
"I do not agree with what you are proposing"
On the social network, the 68-year-old African-American singer then speaks directly to Donald Trump. "Don't do that, Mr. President! […] Sorry, but I don't agree with what you are proposing, ”he wrote. Until now, no member of the Village People had expressed opposition to the use of the group's titles by the head of state. Their songs had accompanied public appearances of the president in his country but also abroad. Macho Man was notably played during an official trip of Donald Trump to Ahmedabad (India) last February.
The Village People then explained on Facebook that they had received numerous messages asking them to prohibit the head of state from using his songs. “Like millions of fans around the world, the president and his supporters have shown sincere appreciation for our music. Our music does not discriminate against anyone and everyone has the right to dance YMCA regardless of their political party, "said the artists.
