Read his bio...the South Park episode made fun of Scientology and Tom Cruise... at first Issac said in radio interviews that he as a Scientologist was not offended as the creators of the show "make fun of everyone...that's what they do." However, some time later Issac claims he was quiting the show because of "religious bigotry" .......Scientologists must have got to him! Stressed out due to lacking funds after quiting, he was forced like Michael Jackson to organise a number of tours. While trying to get back in shape he died on his treadmill of a heart attack.

Isaac Hayes with respect to his stint in South Park was as hipocritical as they come. He had no problem accepting those big checks as long as they were making fun of everyone else, but when they took their swipe at Scientology, now all of a sudden "the Duke" wants to get all sanctimonious.
The South Park writers skewered his ass in a later episode. That skewering was sell deserved.

When you do an evidential expose of a Peter Popoff-type, you show that he
had the transmitter in his ear, etc. You don't go after the followers--if you
see that the leader is victimizing them, why would you want to victimize them,
too? The mistake South Park made was in trying to show off for their comedy
careers and go after celebrity followers, too, and ended up alienating their old
friend Isaac Hayes, who probably made a good friend (plus you got tunes with
that guy).
You stay friends and talk, and whether they go for your belief or non-belief
view or not, I hope you're still friends afterward. (If you knew Michael
Jackson, you might have told him not to pay out the 22 million, to check out the
evidence for how the JWs leaders misrepresent research material as though
supportive when it isn't or such--not just put him down.) That doesn't happen
if you get too 'centric or make flame war and drive people away.
