Singer Lady A Reacts to Lawsuit: I Am Not 'Going to Be Erased' By Lady Antebellum
The artist says she suggested, "They go by the Band Lady A, or Lady A the Band, and I could be Lady A the Artist." However, she claims they did not agree.
White explains that distinguishing between the band and herself as a singer would allow her to not lose the online presence she's built over the years.article, adds, "A search for Lady A reveals the band first, and while White appears close to the top in artist results , her music is sometimes dozens of entries deep, far beneath the country group's vast catalogue."
For this reason, White says she and her legal representatives asked for $10 million for the band's continued use of the moniker, half of which she would use to rebrand as an independent musician, with the rest going to organizations that support the Black community.And though the country group may have the trademark for the name, White says she didn't have the foresight to file for the trademark as she didn't have the guidance of a label throughout her career.
