MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The son of Isaac Hayes announces the family is suing presidential candidate Donald Trump for copyright infringement for using his music at a rally.

In a post on X, Isaac Hayes III issued the following statement on Saturday:

“Today, on the anniversary of my father Isaac Hayes death we repeatedly asked Donald Trump, the RNC and his representatives not to use “Hold on I’m Coming” written by Isaac Hayes and David Porter during campaign rallies but yet again, in Montana they used it. Donald Trump represents the worst in integrity and class with his disrespect and sexual abuse of Women and racist rhetoric. We will now deal with this very swiftly.

On Sunday, Hayes III announced via X that Isaac Hayes Enterprises, represented by Walker & Associates, are suing Trump and his campaign for 134 counts of copyright infringement for the “unauthorized use of the song “Hold On I’m Coming” at campaign rallies from 2022-2024.”

“We demand the cessation of use, removal of all related videos, a public disclaimer, and payment of $3 million in licensing fees by August 16, 2024. Failure to comply will result in further legal action.
