Anita 'Lady A' White says she is 'not going to be erased.'
about both continuing to use the name, until White's new counsel allegedly"delivered a draft settlement agreement that included an exorbitant monetary demand." In a statement to ET, the group says White demanded $10 million.
White says that the first contract the band sent her, on June 30,"had no substance," claiming that it said they would coexist, and the group would"use their best efforts to assist me on social-media platforms, Amazon, iTunes, all that." "But what does that mean? I had suggested on the Zoom call that they go by the Band Lady A, or Lady A the Band, and I could be Lady A the Artist, but they didn’t want to do that," she notes. When asked about the $10 million in the latest draft her attorney sent on July 3, White explains that it was a request for the necessary resources to support herself and the Black community.
She would use $5 million to rebrand and start over as an artist with more than a 20-year career, without the label and management that the country band has. The other $5 million, she says, would be donated to charities of her choice, including those that provide support to other independent Black artists.
"You don’t get to just come and take because you have that privilege," White tells the publication."We don’t have that luxury or that privilege, so we need somebody to help us and lift us up."
