A judge in Atlanta has ruled that Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, cannot utilize Isaac Hayes’ song “Hold On, I’m Comin'” in his campaign any longer.

This decision comes shortly after Hayes’ family threatened to take legal action against the former president due to his use of the song, which Hayes co-wrote and was performed by the iconic soul duo Sam & Dave, at his rallies.

“Today our family received a court ruling that prevents @realdonaldtrump from using @IsaacHayes3 music ever again,” said Isaac Hayes III, the late musician’s son, on X. “We are happy with the court’s ruling and are ready to proceed to the next phase of this legal case.”

Isaac Hayes III previously posted a copyright violation notice on social media, which was filed by lawyer James Walker, soliciting Trump’s campaign to pay $3 million in licensing fees. The family was contemplating suing Trump for unauthorized use of the song at more than 134 campaign rallies over the past two years.
