Donald Trump has no doubt angered all types of people throughout the years, especially during his time as President (not to mention all those months that he campaigned before getting elected).

A specific type of person that he has infuriated are a variety of music artists, some of which have been famous for over 50 years.

Their frustrations revolve around him using their music at a number of his events, gatherings and rallies without permission.

Some have just complained about this on social media while others have gone the distance and taken the legal route to ensure that this won’t happen again in the future.

Check out our gallery of musicians, from The Rolling Stones to Rihanna, who have been vocal about Trump doing this type of thing.
