It seems like Donald Trump can go to any limits to stay relevant and make some explosive headlines. He has been the talk of the town since he closely missed the assassination attempt directed at him ahead of the elections. Though he has effectively garnered enough sympathy after the incident, the Republican leader is now using different yet weird tactics to gain attention.
Trump has resorted to using some unconventional songs for his campaign. First, he used Celine Dion’s ‘My Heart Will Go On’ during a recent campaign rally, and now his go-to was Issac Hayes’ ‘Hold On, I’m Coming‘. Though Celine Dion only shared her disapproval of the usage of the song, the family members of the dead singer Hayes have demanded $3 million from him. Here’s the full story.
Donald Trump Charged For Playing Issac Hayes Song At His Election Campaign
The family of late R&B singer Issac Hayes said that they are suing presidential candidate Donald Trump for his unauthorized usage of ‘Hold On, I’m Coming‘ at his campaign events. In the documents posted on Hayes’s social media accounts, his family demanded to cease the playing of the song and pay them $3 million.
In the letter, the singer’s family also asked Donald Trump to take down all the videos featuring the song and requested that an official statement be released from Trump’s campaign that it was “authorized, endorsed or permitted” to use Hayes’s song.
Furthermore, they also claimed that if the demands are not fulfilled, they will “take all legal action required to enforce the infringed upon intellectual property rights, including but not limited to sending third party take down requests and/or federal litigation.”

Isaac Hayes’s Son Also Calls Out Donald Trump On Social Media
Isaac Hayes’s son, Issac Hayes III, also shared a statement on social media against the song’s usage. He wrote, “Donald Trump epitomizes a lack of integrity and class, not only through his continuous use of my father’s music without permission but also through his history of sexual abuse against women and his racist rhetoric.“
The statement added, “This behavior will no longer be tolerated, and we will take swift action to put an end to it.”
Previously, Celine Dion also asked Trump to take down her song which was yet again used in his campaign. She wrote on social media, “In no way is this use authorized and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use. And really, that song?” Trump has not responded to either of the reactions.
