Singer Lady A says she won't be dismissed by band formerly known as Lady Antebellum: 'I'm worth every penny that I ask for. I'm worth more. I was willing to settle for the $5 million.'
The lawsuit is not seeking any monetary damages, instead seeking to allow the band to continue to use the name Lady A, the band's rep told"TODAY." The suit says the band trademarked the name Lady A in 2011 with no opposition and that their fans have used that shortened name since around 2006.
The singer said that she wanted them to pay her $5 million to rebrand herself with a new name and then give $5 million to Black Lives Matter. "This has never been just about me. If I don't get a dime, I'm gonna continue to do what I do. I've worked a day job and sung and traveled and grinded and bought my own CDs and produced myself and paid people and paid band members and rehearsal halls. I've grinded since Day One."
"They didn't address it in the contract, they didn't address it when speaking with them, and I started to feel like, you know what, you're just dismissing me," she said."They wanted to do a song together. Then I started to feel, so this is the song-and-dance routine you want me to do so that you look woke to everybody else, and then I would just disappear because you can't have two Lady As, and that's been proven.
