AGN News, July 10th, 2020: "Lady A Sues Lady A"

Country trio, Lady A, formally Lady Antebellum is suing Seattle blues artist, Lady A, real name Anita White, over a dispute for the rights to the name. The band’s lawsuit specifies that the trio has held a copyright for the “Lady A” name for over a decade and has used ‘Lady A’ interchangeably with ‘Lady Antebellum’ since 2006. Anita White said the band hadn’t reached out prior to the announcement and that she has been using the name for decades, has released multiple albums under the name and in fact, has a new album coming out on the 18th of this month entitled: Lady A: Live in New Orleans. The country trio officially changed its name publicly last month because of the racial undertones associated with the word “antebellum”.
