The estate of Sinead O’Connor asked former President Donald Trump to stop playing her music at campaign rallies Monday, saying the late singer said he was a “biblical devil.”

Mr. Trump has played one of her most popular songs, “Nothing Compares 2 U,” when he appears at rallies in his run for the Republican presidential nomination.

O’Connor’s estate and her record label, Chrysalis, demanded the former president “desist from using her music immediately.”

She joins a list of artists who have also demanded Mr. Trump stop using their songs including Rihanna, Neil Young, Linkin Park, the late Tom Petty, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith and Johnny Marr of The Smiths.

The statement said the Irish singer “lived by a fierce moral code defined by honesty, kindness, fairness and decency towards her fellow human beings.”

“It was with outrage therefore that we learned that Donald Trump has been using her iconic performance of Nothing Compares 2 U at his political rallies,” the statement said.

“It is no exaggeration to say that Sinead would have been disgusted, hurt and insulted to have her work misrepresented in this way by someone who she herself referred to as a ‘biblical devil.’ As the guardians of her legacy, we demand that Donald Trump and his associates desist from using her music immediately.”

O’Connor, 56, died last year. She was found unresponsive in July in her London home. A coroner said she died of natural causes.

She was known for being outspoken about her mental health, her feminist views and her opposition to the Roman Catholic church.

Rihanna sent a cease-and-desist letter to Mr. Trump after he played “Don’t Stop the Music” at a rally in 2018. The Rolling Stones threatened Mr. Trump with a lawsuit after he played “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” at rallies in 2016. Adele spoke out in 2016 saying she didn’t give him permission to use some of her songs during his political campaign.

Last month when Mr. Marr found out his songs had been played, he showed his displeasure on X.

“Ahh…right…OK. I never in a million years would’ve thought this could come to pass. Consider this sh** shut right down right now,” he wrote.

In October 2020, John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival fame also demanded the Trump campaign stop using his music.

“I object to the President using my song, ‘Fortunate Son’ in any way for his campaign. He is using my words and my voice to portray a message that I do not endorse,” Mr. Fogerty wrote on X.
