The family of the late R&B legend posted a copy of their cease-and-desist letter to the presidential candidate on social media on Sunday. In the document, the family claimed that Trump's campaign used Sam & Dave's song Hold On, I'm Coming, which Hayes co-wrote, without authorisation 134 times between 2022 and 2024. They went on to outline their demands. They want the Trump campaign to stop playing the song, take down all videos of the track being played at political events, and issue a statement acknowledging that the Hayes estate had not "authorized, endorsed or permitted" use of the song.
