During a rally in West Virginia on Tuesday, Trump and his organizers used the Aerosmith song "Livin' on the Edge" despite being asked multiple times by Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler to stop using his music. And now, Tyler is done asking nicely.
On Wednesday, Tyler's attorneys sent Trump a cease and desist letter telling the President he must stop using Aerosmith songs because it creates the impression that Tyler actually supports Trump and his presidency.
"By using 'Livin' On The Edge' without our client's permission, Mr. Trump is falsely implying that our client, once again, endorses his campaign and/or his presidency, as evidenced by actual confusion seen from the reactions of our client's fans all over social media," the letter reads according to a copy obtained by CBS News.
Tyler also sent out a series of tweets addressing his concerns, stating that it wasn't a political party issue, but rather a copyright problem.
This cease and desist letter comes after three years of Tyler asking the Trump administration to stop using Aerosmith songs. The first incident occurred in 2015 after Tyler demanded that Trump stop using Dream On" during campaign rallies.
His request was met with a series of tweets from the then-candidate saying he had the rights to the songs, but would choose better music instead.
