According to CNN, “queen bee” Beyoncé has agreed to let Vice President Kamala Harris use the song Freedom as a campaign song in the US presidential campaign.
Beyoncé wants to support Kamala Harris?
Sources close to the Democratic candidate said they received a nod from Beyoncé ‘s representatives at the last minute, just hours before Kamala Harris stepped out to greet the public at the campaign headquarters in Wilmington on July 22 (US time).
Although Beyoncé has not officially supported anyone in the race to the White House, this action of the “queen bee” has shown which side she is leaning towards.
Beyoncé has been a vocal supporter of Democratic candidates in the past. In 2013, she sang the national anthem at President Barack Obama ‘s inauguration .
In 2016, Beyoncé and her husband Jay-Z headlined a pre-election concert in support of Hillary Clinton in Ohio, hoping she would become the first female president of the United States.
“I want my daughter to grow up seeing a woman lead our country and understand that her potential is limitless,” Beyoncé said at the time.
At the same time, the singer’s mother, Tina Knowles, also expressed her support for the Democratic candidate when she posted a photo with Kamala Harris on her personal page with the caption: “Go Vice President Kamala Harris. Go.”

Artists who have rejected Mr Trump include: Adele, Queen, Rihanna , Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Pharrell and the White Stripes.
