Country band Lady A has filed a lawsuit over trademark rights against a blues singer who uses the same name.
In June, the band -- previously known as Lady Antebellum -- changed their name "after much personal reflection" and conversations with "closest Black friends" because the word "Antebellum" refers to a period of time "which includes slavery," they said.
A blues singer from Seattle, Wash., however, had already been using the name for more than two decades.
Now, the country trio is taking legal action, a rep confirmed to Fox News, after the blues singer -- whose name is Anita White -- has allegedly made an “attempt to enforce purported trademarks rights in a mark that Plaintiffs have held for more than a decade," per the suit.
Additionally, the suit -- which was filed on Wednesday in Nashville’s U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee -- reportedly alleges that White and her representation “delivered a draft settlement agreement that included an exorbitant monetary demand.” According to Billboard, $10 million was requested.

"Oh, by the way, which one's Pink...?"
“Anna White is a black woman. Ruh Roh. Is Lady Antebellum racist for suing a black woman?”
But she’s a white black woman!
Guess the name Lady A, the A stands for A-hole.
Yep, pretty much lost what little respect I ever had for these 3 people. I thought they were smarter than this.
DANG!
All I know is that the shorter male in the trio has a head that looks like a greasy-haired melon. Just seeing it makes me want to give it a good thump.
And, of course, agree with others re how this lawsuit is going to blow up their virtue signalling attempt real good.
It’s funny how certain celebrities simply do not have a realistic understanding of how the public views them and their actions.
