The family of late soul legend Isaac Hayes, who died on August 10, 2008, has slapped Donald Trump with a cease-and-desist, demanding he stop blasting “Hold On, I’m Comin’” at his campaign rallies.
Isaac Hayes III, son of the iconic singer, shared a letter sent to Trump and his team, threatening a lawsuit if they don’t cut it out. The letter, which is signed by lawyer James Walker, accuses Trump of copyright infringement and demands $3 million in licensing fees for playing the 1966 Sam & Dave classic—co-written by Hayes—at events from 2022 to 2024.
Walker claims Trump has been playing the song so much that the $3M demand is actually “heavily discounted.” The letter warns that if Donald Trump doesn’t settle up, the Hayes family will come after him with a lawsuit, demanding $150,000 for every single time the track was played.
