A joint statement from the late Irish singer’s estate and record label Chrysalis Records demanded the former US president “desist from using her music immediately”. The Belfast Telegraph reports.
It said O’Connor, who died last July aged 56, lived by a “fierce moral code” and had previously referred to Mr Trump as a “biblical devil”.
The statement said: “Throughout her life, it is well known that Sinead O’Connor 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.
“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.”
