Isaac Hayes’ Family Demands $3 Million From Donald Trump for Playing ‘Hold On, I’m Coming’ at Campaign Events


The family of Isaac Hayes said that they are suing Donald Trump for his unauthorized use of 'Hold On, I'm Coming' at campaign events.

In documents posted to Hayes’ social media accounts, his family demanded that Trump cease playing the song and pay $3 million for its unauthorized use from 2022 to 2024, saying that the copyright has been infringed 134 times. Hayes’ family went on to say that if these demands are not met, they will “take all legal action required to enforce the infringed upon intellectual property rights, including but not limited to sending third party take down requests and/or federal litigation.” “Donald Trump epitomizes a lack of integrity and class, not only through his continuous use of my father’s music without permission but also through his history of sexual abuse against women and his racist rhetoric,” Hayes III wrote.
