Former US President Donald Trump is going to have to pay damages to London singer and songwriter Eddy Grant for using his song Electric Avenue without permission.

It has taken Grant more than four years to sue the Republican candidate over his 2020 campaign video that used a 40-second clip of the song.


The video was viewed 13.7 million times before X took it down.

A federal judge in Manhattan says Trump breached Grant's copyright for his 1983 hit, and is now liable for damages as well as the singer's legal fees.
