Isaac Hayes' Family SMACKS Trump With MASSIVE Lawsuit For Using His Song At Rallies | Roland Martin

The family of the late Issac Hayes demands that Donald Trump stop using his music for his campaign rallies.

According to Isaac Hayes III, Trump has never asked permission to use the song "Hold On, I'm Coming," written for the R&B Duo Sam & Dave, at his August 3 rally in Atlanta.

Isaac posted this on social media:
Once again, the estate and family of @isaachayes DID NOT approve the use of "Hold on, I'm coming'" written by Isaac Hayes and David Porter by Donald Trump tonight in Atlanta.

We and our partners at @primarywave are taking legal action to stop the unauthorized use of this song. Donald Trump represents the worst in honesty, integrity and class and want no association with his campaign of hate and racism.

That action is in the form of a lawsuit.

Isaac Hayes III. and his attorney, James Walker spoke with Roland Martin about the lawsuit against the Trump campaign.
