Donald Trump's Campaign Prohibited From Using Isaac Hayes Song After Lawsuit Threat

Trump Campaign Accused of Copyright Infringement

The Trump campaign has been prohibited from using Isaac Hayes' song "Soul Man" at its rallies after the late singer's estate threatened legal action.

The Hayes estate sent a cease-and-desist letter to the campaign on Monday, demanding that it stop using the song without permission.

The letter, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, states that the campaign has violated the estate's copyright by using the song without a license.

The estate is seeking damages and an injunction to prevent the campaign from using the song in the future.

The Trump campaign has not commented on the lawsuit threat.

However, the campaign has previously used Hayes' song at its rallies, including at a rally in Ohio on Monday.

Isaac Hayes was a Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and producer.

He is best known for his work on the "Shaft" soundtrack, which won him an Oscar for Best Original Song.

Hayes died in 2008 at the age of 65.
