Tuesday, October 21, 2025-Musician Kenny Loggins has condemned the unauthorized use of his hit song “Danger Zone” in a viral AI-generated video shared by former President Donald Trump.
The clip, which depicted Trump piloting a jet labeled “KING TRUMP” and dropping sludge on protesters, sparked outrage online for both its message and its misuse of copyrighted material.
In a public statement, Loggins said he was never asked for permission and would have denied it if approached. “This is an unauthorized use of my performance of ‘Danger Zone,’” he stated.
“I can’t imagine why anyone would want their music associated with something created to divide us. We’re all Americans, it's all of us.” The White House responded with a dismissive comment, calling the matter “a joke taken too seriously.”
The controversy highlights growing concerns over intellectual property violations in AI-generated media, especially in politically charged content. Legal experts suggest Loggins could pursue action under copyright law, while artists across the industry are calling for clearer rules to protect their work from unauthorized use in digital propaganda.
