Per Billboard, in August 2024, Isaac Hayes’ estate filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump for using the late soul singer’s classic track “Hold On, I’m Coming” without permission at several rallies. In response, a federal judge granted an emergency hearing, requiring both Trump and representatives from the RNC to appear. The judge ultimately ruled in favor of Hayes’ estate, issuing a temporary injunction that prohibited Trump from using the song at future events while the case proceeded.
