The Rolling Stones vs. ‘Melania’: Rep Denies Band Authorized ‘Gimme Shelter’ for Trump Doc After a Producer Claims Mick Jagger ‘Gave His Blessing’

A recent stir in the music and political spheres has emerged over the use of the Rolling Stones' classic track "Gimme Shelter" in the upcoming documentary about Melania Trump.

However, an unnamed source close to Jagger has quickly shot down these assertions, clarifying that the iconic frontman was not involved in the licensing process at all.

This back-and-forth highlights the sometimes murky waters of music rights, especially when intertwined with high-profile figures like the Trumps. As the premiere of “Melania” draws near, fans and followers of both the band and the former First Lady are left wondering what influence, if any, this debate will have on the film's reception.
