Quick Glance: Isaac Hayes Estate Demands $3 Million from Trump for Unauthorized Use of 'Hold On (I’m Coming)'
- The estate of soul musician and actor Isaac Hayes has demanded Donald Trump’s presidential campaign to pay $3 million for the unauthorized use of the hit song "Hold On (I’m Coming)."
- The letter highlights that the requested $3 million by Hayes' attorneys is a significantly reduced fee compared to the usual rate of $150,000 per use of the song, potentially leading to a tenfold increase if litigation occurs.
- A day after Hayes’ son, Isaac Hayes III, publicly criticized the Trump campaign for playing his father's song at rallies in Atlanta and Bozeman, Montana, he threatened legal action.
- TheWrap has requested a response from the Trump campaign.
