TL;DR
Producers of the Melania Trump documentary named artists who refused clearance for the film’s soundtrack, including Guns N’ Roses (one member approved, another declined due to political differences), Prince (estate blocked a track), and Jonny Greenwood’s Phantom Thread score (blocked after lack of consultation). Mick Jagger reportedly approved The Rolling Stones’ Gimme Shelter. The producer stresses the refusals were about personal politics, not the film’s stance, highlighting ongoing clearance hurdles.
