HipHop and R&B songwriters and artists, this is your annual reminder to TERMINATE YOUR PUBLISHING AND MASTERS!
You can get your publishing back after 35 and 56 years pre 1978.
This will be the largest transfer of wealth to Black people in the history of the music industry!
For over 14 years, people have speculated about why my father @isaachayes left South Park. I’m here to set the record straight.
My dad did not quit South Park. Scientology did.
After the episode “Trapped in the Closet” aired in 2005, my father suffered a stroke just a few months later that left him unable to speak or make decisions on his own. He was not in any condition to resign from anything. The truth is, someone else within his Scientology circle made that decision and quit the show for him.
He loved being the voice of Chef. He loved the character. He loved connecting with fans. He would joke with people who recognized his voice and he truly enjoyed being part of the show.
The narrative that he quit because he was offended by the satire is not true. That was a cover story created by others. My father never got to speak for himself because his health robbed him of that chance.
So now I am speaking for him. He did not leave South Park willingly. He was forced out by illness and by people who did not have his best interest at heart.
This is for anyone who loved Chef. This is for anyone who admired my father’s work. This is the truth about what really happened.

We are pleased with the judge’s decision to deny Donald Trump, Turning Point, and Bitcoin’s request to dismiss this case.
This is a clear case of copyright infringement, and we stand with all songwriters, artists who have the right to protect their music from unauthorized use.
The Estate of Isaac Hayes extends our heartfelt condolences to the family of Sam Moore, of Sam & Dave.
Sam’s voice was a powerful force of nature and unforgettable.
He brought Isaac’s songs like Hold On, I’m Comin’, Soul Man, and many others to life.
Rest well Sam. 🕊️♥️
Isaac Hayes as Black Moses stands as a powerful symbol of liberation, leadership, and cultural pride.
Thank you, @kendricklamar, for honoring Isaac and his legacy, reminding the world of the everlasting power of Blackness.
🚨BREAKING: The judge has given his opinion and order in our case against @RealDonaldTrump. The court acknowledges it’s likely that post-June 6, 2024, uses were without a license and infringed on Isaac Hayes Enterprises’ copyright.
Thank to the Court for this order that came out yesterday in writing granting our injunction.
Now we proceed to full trial.
Our team @lizgarner and @jameslwalkeresq are filing an amended complaint with more counts and plan to press ahead in holding Donald Trump fully accountable for this illegal use.
Thanks to @attorneygriggs for standing with us as well.
Today our family was granted an injunction against @realdonaldtrump from playing @IsaacHayes3 music ever again. We are please with the decision by the court and move to the next phase of this lawsuit.
I wanna thank @jameslwalkeresq@Lizgarnergroup and team for their hard work achieving the first step in our copyright infringement case against Donald Trump and Donald Trump for President:
🚨Breaking News: Today we received confirmation from @BMI in writing from their lawyers that @realDonaldTrump, The @NRA, @TurningPointUSA and The @GOP DO NOT and HAVE NOT had a Political Use License to play “Hold On I’m Coming” for quite some time.
We look forward to our day in court with our attorney @jameslwalkeresq next week.
