Donald Trump Ordered by Judge to Stop Using Isaac Hayes-Penned Song at Rallies

However, the former president and GOP hopeful has not yet been told to remove the song from videos his team uploaded online.

At an emergency injunction hearing in Atlanta federal court on Tuesday, Donald Trump and his campaign were ordered to stop using a song written by songwriting legend Isaac Hayes that he has played at over 130 rallies. U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Thrash Jr. issued an injunction as part of the 9:30 a.m. hearing called by attorneys representing Isaac Hayes III, the executor of his father’s estate. Hayes told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview in August that by his count, “Hold on, I’m Comin’” has been used 135 times over the past several years without Trump’s team ever asking permission or paying to license the soul classic.
