It appears that Rihanna is no fan of her music getting played at Donald Trump’s rally in Chatanooga, Tenn. tonight:
Not for much longer…me nor my people would ever be at or around one of those tragic rallies, so thanks for the heads up philip! https://t.co/dRgRi06GrJ
— Rihanna (@rihanna) November 5, 2018
Wait … she’s on a first-name basis with the Washington Post’s Philip Rucker?
Did not know Rihanna was on a first-name basis with @PhilipRucker https://t.co/b0tpwh9Gr8

It also sounds like “not for much longer” means that she’ll be sending a cease-and-desist letter to the Trump campaign in the near future:
2008 RIHANNA: don’t stop the music
2018 RIHANNA: u better stop the music or I’ll sue u into oblivion u Cheeto skinned slob https://t.co/tTJJEO1xGO

But if her cease-and-desist letter goes as well as other cease-and-desist letters sent to the Trump campaign by other artists, Trump fans will continue to enjoy her music at the MAGA rallies:
Can you say what you or your team expect to do? @RollingStones were repeatedly displeased during the campaign that Trump made their song his theme song, but here’s @MickJagger claiming there was, really, nothing they could do: https://t.co/ASyZnn1R4z https://t.co/dKmIco0Vfg

As for the rally, ABC’s Tara Palmeri reports that folks are leaving early:
