Isaac Hayes' Family Threatens Legal Action Against Trump Campaign Over Unauthorized Song Use

The Hayes estate demands $3 million in licensing fees and cessation of the song's use at rallies.

  • Isaac Hayes' family claims Trump's campaign used 'Hold On, I'm Coming' 134 times without permission.
  • A cease-and-desist letter demands the removal of videos featuring the song and a public disclaimer.
  • The family has set an August 16 deadline for Trump to comply or face a lawsuit.
  • Other artists, including Celine Dion, have also protested the unauthorized use of their music at Trump rallies.
  • The Hayes estate argues that the $3 million fee is heavily discounted given the frequency of the song's use.
