Isaac Hayes’ Estate Accuses Trump of Unauthorized Song Use
The feud between Donald Trump and Black artists continues to escalate, with the estate of the late Isaac Hayes now taking legal action against the former president for using the iconic song “Hold On I’m Coming” without permission at a recent rally in Atlanta.
Isaac Hayes III, the son of the legendary singer/songwriter, took to social media to express his family’s disapproval of Trump’s use of the song, stating that they did not approve of its use and want no association with his campaign of “hate and racism.”
This is not the first time Trump has faced backlash from artists for using their music without permission. Rihanna, Pharrell Williams, and Adele are among the musicians who have called on Trump to stop using their songs at his events.
The ongoing battle raises the question: Can Donald Trump serve as president from prison? With legal action being taken against him for unauthorized use of music, it seems that Trump’s controversial actions continue to follow him even after leaving office.
As the feud between Trump and Black artists intensifies, it remains to be seen how the former president will respond to the latest legal challenge from the estate of Isaac Hayes. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
