Singer-songwriter Kenny Loggins is demanding President Donald Trump remove his hit song \u201cDanger Zone\u201d from a controversial AI-generated video that depicts Trump dumping what appears to ben feces on protesters from a plane, Billboard<\/a> has reported.<\/p>\n

In a statement posted to Instagram<\/a> Monday, Loggins said Trump\u2019s use of his song in the clip shared Saturday was completely unauthorized and that \u201cnobody asked me for my permission, which I would have denied.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI request that my recording on this video is removed immediately,\u201d Loggins wrote. \u201cI can\u2019t imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us. Too many people are trying to tear us apart, and we need to find new ways to come together.\u201d<\/p>\n

The AI video shows Trump wearing a crown while flying a plane that unleashes piles of feces onto AI-generated protesters holding signs on the streets below. The clip is set to \u201cDanger Zone,\u201d which was famously featured in the 1986 movie \u201cTop Gun.\u201d<\/p>\n

The video is believed to be Trump\u2019s response to nationwide \u201cNo Kings\u201d demonstrations held throughout the country on Saturday, the report said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re all Americans, and we\u2019re all patriotic,\u201d Loggins added in his statement. \u201cThere is no \u2018us and them\u2019 \u2014 that\u2019s not who we are, nor is it what we should be. It\u2019s all of us. We\u2019re in this together, and it is my hope that we can embrace music as a way of celebrating and uniting each and every one of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the outlet, such AI videos have become a staple of Trump\u2019s social media activity over the past year, but his pattern of using music without permission has been consistent throughout his political career. <\/p>\n

Several weeks ago, members of Blue \u00d6yster Cult<\/a> took to social media to distance themselves from the president after their song \u201c(Don\u2019t Fear) The Reaper\u201d was used in an AI clip mocking Democrats.<\/p>\n

Since Trump\u2019s first term in 2016, numerous artists including Beyonc\u00e9, the Foo Fighters, Adele, Celine Dion and Jack White have called out the administration for allegedly using their music in campaign materials without authorization, the report said.<\/p>\n
