Victor Willis, the frontman of the Village People, has reversed his decision to block Donald Trump from using the band's track Y.M.C.A., now allowing the President-elect to use it due to Trump's evident enjoyment and frequent usage of the song, especially during campaign rallies.
The Village People frontman has done a complete 180 in his decision to block Donald Trump from using his band’s legendary track Y.M.C.A. —because the President-elect is “having fun.”
Willis also spoke about the “financial benefits” of Trump’s getting down to the track, saying it’s “estimated to gross several million dollars since the President Elect’s continued use of the song.” Willis, who co-wrote the track, said that he has enjoyed watching athletes, celebrities, and internet users doing the dance.
However, in the post, Willis said he’s “thankful” to Trump for choosing it and added ominously that he and his wife will begin in January to sue news organizations that infer it is a gay anthem.
