Pharrell through his lawyer has now expressed his anger including issuing a cease-and-desist letter.
The letter, from Los Angeles-based lawyer Howard King, states: "On the day of the mass murder of 11 human beings at the hands of a deranged 'nationalist,' you played his song 'Happy' to a crowd at a political event in Indiana. There was nothing 'happy' about the tragedy inflicted upon our country on Saturday and no permission was granted for your use of this song for this purpose."
