The epic moment when President Donald Trump introduced Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to his supporters in Phoenix was marked by the Foo Fighter's iconic track "My Hero." Kennedy suspended his presidential campaign on Friday and endorsed Trump. As pyrotechnics shot into the air and the two men shook hands before the packed house at the Turning Point Action event, the lyrics of the song played. The Foo Fighters announced on X that they'd never authorized the song for use by the Trump campaign. The Trump campaign responded, saying that the campaign had indeed licensed the song using BMI's Songview service.

In a post, from Wu Tang is for the Children, the Foo Fighters were asked "did you let Trump use 'My Hero' to welcome RFK Jr. on stage"? The response came back "No," and was then followed up with a post from the band saying "Let us be clear."

The Independent, however, reviewed "documents appearing to confirm that hte campaign had indeed licensed the song from BMI's Songview service." A campaign spokesperson told the outlet that "We have a license to play the song."
