In 2018, thesinger's lawyers also sent a cease-and-desist letter to the president's team, urging them to stop using her song, 'Don't Stop the Music', at their rallies and campaigns.
Rihanna and Trump have a long history. It would not have been surprising, then, to see her protesting outside Trump Tower at the Women's March. A video showing a woman who resembles Rihanna protesting outside Trump's building circulated online, making it necessary to do some fact-checking.
