Trump slammed with $3 million lawsuit from Isaac Hayes' estate

Former President Donald Trump and Isaac Hayes got tied into a legal conflict.

Hayes’ estate confronted the former for not seeking his permission before using one of his iconic hit songs in his campaign rallies.

Trump is slammed with a $3 million suit for the same.

The controversy began when Isaac Hayes III publicly pointed out the unauthorised use of his father’s son in Trump’s rallies. 

Hayes estate attorneys have issued a cease and desist order against Trump for the unauthorised use of Hold On in the latter’s rallies and requested a compensation of $3 million.

They have also asked to remove all the videos of the campaign which featured the song from every public domain and release a public statement stating that the use of the song in the rallies was unauthorised.

Prior to the lawsuit, Hayes III expressed his disappointment and intentions to pursue legal actions upon unauthorised use of his father’s song for campaign purposes on social media.
