Official Statement from the Hayes Family and the Estate of Isaac Hayes

The Hayes family and the Estate of Isaac Hayes, Jr. announce that the lawsuit filed against Donald John Trump and Donald J. Trump for President 2024, Inc., regarding their use of “Hold On, I’m Comin” has been mutually resolved, and we are satisfied with the outcome.

This resolution represents more than the conclusion of a legal matter. It reaffirms the importance of protecting intellectual property rights and copyrights, especially as they relate to legacy, ownership, and the responsible use of creative works.

Isaac Hayes, Jr. dedicated his life to his craft, and his contributions to music and culture carry enduring value. As stewards of his legacy, we remain committed to ensuring that his work is respected and properly protected.

We are proud that this matter has helped further a broader conversation surrounding intellectual property rights and the obligation to honor creators and their estates. Protecting ownership is not only about the past, it is about preserving dignity, value, and accountability for future generations.

We would like to extend sincerest gratitude to our counsel James L. Walker Jr. and Brittney R. Dobbins, our copyright administrator Liz Garner, and the Walker and Associates team, for their outstanding work and collaborative effort throughout this process. Their diligence, professionalism, and strategic guidance were instrumental in reaching this resolution.

With appreciation,

Isaac Hayes III
President, The Estate of Isaac Hayes
President and CEO, Isaac Hayes Enterprises
