Noah Kahan hits Trump over use of song in social post: ‘Would never approve’
- On Tuesday, singer Noah Kahan criticized the White House for using his song "American Cars" in a social media post depicting President Donald Trump's visit to a General Motors flagship test site in Michigan.
- After fans tagged him, Kahan responded on Tuesday afternoon with disapproval: "Would never approve of my music being used in support of you or this administration." Co-writer Noah Levine added, "You fat fuck this song isn't for you."
