The A&M Records emcee/singer says President Obama could have his song, but not the former Massachusetts Governor.
Somali Canadian emcee/singer K'Naan released a statement today, revealing his disapproval of former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney's use of the song "Wavin' Flag" . Romney used the 2010 song after the Florida Republican Primary last night (January 31), as the candidate runs for Presidency in the United States.
In a statement, K'Naan said, "I have not been asked for permission by Mitt Romney's campaign for the use of my song. If I had been asked, I would certainly not have granted it. I would happily grant the [President Barack] Obama campaign use of my song without prejudice."
If elected as the candidate to the Republican party, Mitt Romney will run against Democrat Barack Obama in November.
"Wavin' Flag" appeared on Troubadour.
Earlier today, K'Naan's EP, More Beautiful Than Silence debuted on the Top 200 of the album sales charts. The A&M Records release features Nas and Nelly Furtado.
