R.E.M., Guns N' Roses, Neil Young , Sinéad O'Connor and others have denounced the unauthorized use of their work by Trump in the 2016 and 2020 races.

Not one artist has filed a lawsuit against Trump and stuck it out in court for using these songs without permission.

Isaac Hayes III is the first to go through with a suit related to Team Trump's tendency toward infringing on copyright.

"Hold On, I'm Comin'" was co-written by Isaac Hayes in the 1960s .

The songwriter's estate is suing the Trump camp for use of the classic track.

The singer's management and Sony Music Canada fired off a joint statement indicating that "in no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this".
