“Son of Music Legend Takes Savage Jab at ‘MAGA People’ After Crushing Trump in Court!”

Isaac Hayes III has made his thoughts on Donald Trump crystal clear, and now he is going in on MAGA after scoring a court victory against the former president this week.

Hayes III was able to get a temporary injunction from a federal judge in Atlanta this week barring Trump and his campaign from using “Hold On, I’m Coming,” which was co-written by Hayes III’ father, legendary singer/songwriter Isaac Hayes.

After requesting the campaign stop using the song, Hayes III has said he is in the process of suing Trump for $3 million in licensing fees because he claims the campaign used the song more than 150 times. Hayes III wrote on X that he was pleased with the decision and will “move to the next phase of the lawsuit.”

One group that has not been pleased is the MAGA world and Trump supporters, and Hayes III has spent the days since teasing them on social media.

“MAGA people insult like 2nd graders,” he wrote while using a GIF of Charlie Murphy laughing from the famous Prince skit off the Dave Chappelle Show.

And early Thursday morning he wrote “The more you MAGA people insult me the more engagement I get. (laughing emoji),” along with a GIF that said “Keep Going.”

So, this probably isn’t going to be a pretty process because they will almost certainly keep going, and Hayes III certainly appears here for it.

“If I repeatedly used any of (Donald Trump’s) IP without permission, he would sue the (expletive) out of me,” Hayes III wrote in the caption of the video. “For all the copyright experts out there here’s how it works. And to the writers who don’t want Trump using their songs here’s how you stop him.”

In the video itself, Hayes III explains music licensing, and says, “here’s the problem, at some point, Donald Trump was notified to stop playing ‘Hold On, I’m Comin’” because that song was removed from his use from the political use license and he kept playing the song.

“So, if you keep playing the song, after you are told not to play the song, the fine is $150,000 every time you play the song,” Hayes III claims. “If you play the song before you get the license, the song is $150,000 every time you play the song.”

Hayes III asked for weeks for Trump to not play the song at his rallies and set a deadline for him to respond for Aug. 16. When Trump did not respond, Hayes III announced the estate was suing Trump for $3 million.

“So as of 5:59 PM ET The Estate of (Isaac Hayes) has filed a lawsuit in the United States Federal Court, Northern District against Donald J. Trump,” Hayes III posted to X then. “The RNC, Donald J. Trump for president, Inc., and several other parties for copyright infringement.”

Hayes III again laid out why he did not want Trump to use the song during an appearance on CNN.

“I don’t want the song associated with Donald Trump,” he said. “I don’t want people to hear, ‘Hold On I’m Coming,’ and think of Donald Trump because of the nature of the character of the person that he is.

“I’m the brother to seven sisters, seven Black women,” he added. “Donald Trump has been found liable of sexual abuse, he says horrible things about women, he says horrible things about Vice President Kamala Harris, and I know my father would not want Donald Trump or a man that speaks like that, especially about Black women, using his music to run a campaign.

“It’s more to do with the fact of the individual, the character of Donald Trump, that we don’t want to be associated with our band and our family.”

According to BLAVITY, Trump used Hayes’ “Hold On, I’m Comin’” at the end of his recent rally in Atlanta. The song was written by Hayes and David Porter, and performed by the R&B duo Sam & Dave.

Hayes III said then he was not happy to see Trump using the song.

“Once again, the estate and family of (Isaac Hayes) DID NOT approve the use of “Hold On I’m Coming” written by Isaac Hayes and David Porter by Donald Trump tonight in Atlanta,” Hayes III posted on X, formerly Twitter. “We and our partners at {Primary Wave) are taking legal action to stop the unauthorized use of this song.”

BLAVITY said that Hayes’ family has fought for years to keep Trump from using the song, and even linked to a post on X from Hayes’ account in 2022.
