It has been reported that Mitt Romney used Wavin' Flag to celebrate his win in Florida.
And while the Romney campaign got permission from Kid Rock to use Born Free, they didn't ask K'naan for permission to use Wavin' Flag.
K'naan's twitter:
Yo @mittromney I am K'naan Warsame and I do not endorse this message.
Mitt Romney is not running a campaign on a shoestring. Doesn't he have staff who are capable of ensuring that they've secured permission to use an artist's work? Evidently, they accomplished this when the artist is Kid Rock.
Surely, it couldn't be because K'naan was born in Somalia, or that he's Muslim.
It must be because he's Canadian. Mitt Romney knows where the Cayman Islands are, but perhaps Canada is far too foreign a land to track down an artist.
