Lady A, the singer, has responded to LadyA, the band, following their headline-making lawsuit over trademark of the name the two acts now share.
Back in June, the band formerly known as Lady Antebellum announced they'd bethe historical reference to the pre-Civil War South from their name in response to the ongoing Black Lives Matter movement. However, the well-intentioned change immediately ran into conflict when it became clear that White had been performing under the name since 1987.of her early negotiations with the band.
According to the lawsuit, White eventually requested that the band pay her for use of the name, and negotiations swiftly broke down between the two camps. "I was quiet for two weeks because I was trying to believe that it was going to be okay and that they would realize that it would be easier to just change their name, or pay me for my name," White continued."Five million dollars is nothing, and I’m actually worth more than that, regardless of what they think. But here we go again with another white person trying to take something from a Black person, even though they say they’re trying to help.
Despite the prospect of being mired in litigation against the superstar trio, the singer stood fast in her commitment to fighting for her artistic persona, as both a Black and independent artist."You don’t get to just come and take because you have that privilege," she said."We don’t have that luxury or that privilege, so we need somebody to help us and lift us up."
