Of course, you can depend on Breitbart to give superficial treatment to any story, so, no, they don't bother to find out who actually owns the rights. A two minute web search, obviously beyond the capabilities of any media type, produced the following:

NEW YORK, NY (October 5, 2023) – Primary Wave Music, the leading independent publisher of iconic and legendary music in the world, announces today their partnership with the estate of the legendary singer, actor, songwriter, and composer Isaac Hayes. Terms of the deal will see Primary Wave administer various publishing interests of the award-winner’s estate. In addition, the partnership will grant the dynamic publisher the opportunity to market Isaac’s name, image, and likeness.

When you sell something, you no longer control what is done with it.

Yes: Primary Wave is listed on the link posted by me, name and address of publisher.
The publisher may have an arrangement- but the deal seals the ownership- and their pissing around with rights.
