K'Naan: Mitt Romney Did Not Have Permission To Use 'Wavin' Flag'

NEW YORK -- Rapper K'Naan is upset that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney used his song "Wavin' Flag" during his Florida primary victory speech.

In a statement Wednesday, K'naan says Romney's campaign didn't seek approval to use the song and that he would not have granted permission if it had.

The Somali-born, Canadian-based rapper says he would happily grant President Barack Obama's campaign the use of the song.

K'Naan says he wants to make sure Romney does not use his song again and is seeking legal action.

Romney spokesman Rick Gorka says the song was used through the campaign's regular blanket license but, out of respect for K'Naan's statement, won't be used again.

"Wavin' Flag" was an international hit for K'Naan in 2010, co-written and co-produced by Bruno Mars' production team, The Smeezingtons.

the republicans are going to dig their own graves this election with the outward racism

[SahanGalbeed]

Look man , most of the people with money vote republican . When you're an artist , one's gotta stay outta politics , specially if you are NOT American .
That's racist to say YES to Obama and NO to Romney . I mean seriously , Obama has put more people in jail or in their grave who were from K'naan's than Romney .
What's the problem here ?

have you watched the debates?

and yeah its no secret those in the higher income bracket vote republican cause of lower taxes, but we have a Democratic president who didnt raise taxes when he had a super majority (due to him not having balls to push his party)

Higher income brackets actually vote mostly liberal

The racism charge was overdone in 2008 along with the hope and change. This year's all about citizens united v FEC and Super PACs...Obama's done like dinner

rich white people?

n1gga please i can understand minorities and whites on the coasts but in the heartland, hell nooooo

Skippa, I'm not voting Obama or Republican. But Obama losing will be shocking because his opposition, most likely Romney is an elitist flip flopper

Skippa, I'm not voting Obama

I grant you that Romney's a mannequin but what you said right there is precisely why Obama's in trouble. He's disappointed some of his staunchest supporters...people like yourself and Matt Damon

Yes, rich white people support Obama and the democrats. Obama raised more money among Wall Street than did any of the republicans, including Romney.
White people in the heartland are not rich and would benefit more from democratic policies, but they largely vote republican because of social views.

He has a right to be unhappy about what happened, but this comment threw me off:

What a dumb motherfucker, Obama has probably killed more Somalis, perhaps even K'naan's own relatives, than Romney.

Perhaps if this retard spent more time reading the news instead of writing kindergarten lyrics he would know that the two men have very identical beliefs and policies.

The wealthy vote Democrat
The rich vote Republican.
The well-off vote Republican
The middle class are divided.
The poor vote Democrat.

The Democrats get the people with the most money and the least, the republicans get the rich and upper-middle class and the middle class make tilt the elections toward either which is why elections are always focused on the middle class.

Knaan has the right to contest the use of his song.

White people in the heartland are not rich and would benefit more from democratic policies, but they largely vote republican because of social views.

They are basically the dixiecrats who left the Democratic party after the 1964 civil rights act and never went back.
