Isaac Hayes’ family has threatened legal action against Trump for unauthorized song use.

Former President Donald Trump is facing legal action from the family of musician Isaac Hayes over his unauthorized use of Sam & Dave’s “Hold On, I’m Coming,” co-written by Hayes.

The letter alleges Trump used the song over 130 times and demanded a minimum payment of $3 million to avoid legal action.

Hayes’ son, Isaac Hayes III, brought public attention to the issue in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. Trump has faced criticism from musicians and their estates for his unauthorized use of songs at campaign rallies.

Isaac Hayes and David Porter’s family has filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump and his campaign for 134 counts of copyright infringement for the use of “Hold On I’m Coming” during campaign rallies in Montana.

Hayes claims Trump’s actions, including his disrespectful and racist rhetoric, represent the worst in integrity and class.

The family is prepared to demand $3 million in licensing fees, a public disclaimer, removal of related videos, and an end to the song’s use by Friday. If litigation is necessary, the family will seek a higher penalty, starting at $150,000 per use of the song.

Isaac Hayes, the brother of seven black women, expressed his concern over Donald Trump’s use of his father’s music at the NRA convention in May 2022.

Hayes, who is the brother of seven sisters, argued that Trump has been found guilty of sexual abuse and disrespectful statements about Kamala Harris.

He emphasized that he doesn’t want people to think of Hayes when hearing “Hold On I’m Coming.”
