The record company and the heirs of the Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor, who died last year, have asked former US President Donald Trump this Monday to stop using her songs during his political events.

In a joint statement, the artist's representatives describe it as "outrageous" that Trump used her "iconic performance" of Nothing Compares 2 U, the song that catapulted her to international stardom in 1990, at a rally.

Ireland fires Sinéad O'Connor according to Muslim rite

The record company and O'Connor's heirs were referring to an event organized last month in the state of Maryland, during the campaign launched by Trump to become the Republican Party candidate in the US elections next November.

In the note, they assured that it would not "be an exaggeration" to say that Sinéad would have felt "disgusted, hurt and insulted."

"Throughout her life, it is well known that Sinéad O'Connor lived by a strong

moral code defined by honesty, kindness, justice and decency

towards her fellow human beings," stated the estate and the record label Chrysalis Records. .

In her opinion, the Dublin singer would have rebelled against the "distorted" use of her songs by Trump, whom

she herself, they recalled, came to call a "biblical devil."

"As custodians of his legacy, we demand that Donald Trump and his associates stop using his music immediately," they concluded in the text.

O'Connor died in July 2023 at the age of 56 in his apartment in London (United Kingdom) due to natural causes, a coroner's court ruled.
