Donald Trump Calls Neil Young “Hypocrite” Over Song Controversy

Donald Trump might have officially filed his paperwork to run for President of the United States, but he's still making headlines. This time it's for calling rocker Neil Young a "hypocrite" after the musician slammed the Celebrity Apprentice star for using "Rockin' in the Free World" during his presidential announcement. Young claimed that the billionaire had no right to use his tune, but now Trump is fighting back on Twitter with proof... and photos.

Since the presidential announcement, Trump has been a center of news for the likes of comedians and late night hosts all over television, particularly The Daily Show's Jon Stewart. And with Young's management releasing a statement via the Wall Street Journal noting that the musician is actually a supporter of Bernie Sanders, Trump is finally speaking out.

Blasting Young on Twitter, Trump tagged Young in his post, saying, "A few months ago Neil Young came to my office looking for $$ on an audio deal & called me last week to go to his concert. Wow!"

Afterwards, he posted an image of the two shaking hands alongside a signed deal, where Young is listed as a "series A-1 preferred stock purchaser."

Take a look at the photo below:

The Huffington Post reports, however, that Young has in the past acknowledged this photograph, writing, "A picture of me with this candidate was also circulated in conjunction with this announcement but it was a photograph taken during a meeting when I was trying to raise funds for Pono, my online high resolution music service."

But naturally, being Donald Trump, he needed to get in a last word... stating that "Rockin' in the Free World" was one of many songs he used as "background music." Also, he "didn't love it..."

.@Neilyoung’s song, “Rockin’ In The Free World” was just one of 10 songs used as background music. Didn’t love it anyway. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 24, 2015

Which we guess is why he chose it as his entrance music?
