4:31 PM PDT, July 8, 2020formerly known as Lady Antebellum

The group reached out to White last month, and according to the lawsuit, they had productive conversations 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. ET has reached out to White for comment.

In a statement to ET, the band says:"Today we are sad to share that our sincere hope to join together with Anita White in unity and common purpose has ended. She and her team have demanded a $10 million payment, so reluctantly we have come to the conclusion that we need to ask a court to affirm our right to continue to use the name Lady A, a trademark we have held for many years.

JNC_1982 I don't understand how they can sue, Lady A had that name way before they did!

Wait so they change the name becuz it's connected to racism and then they sue a black artist that had the name longer than them White people are embarrassing and so weird. They don't even know how wrong this looks becuz this is normal for them

These headlines are so misleading. The BLACK blues singer is sueing lady antebellum 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄😁

Not cool

We completely see who you are! So the name change don't mean anything if your heart isn't in it!! Please,,,

They not serious right? She been a blues singer like 20 years! I have to of her albums from the late 80s to early ninties so huh? They saying SHE STOLE THE NAME LMAO!! If they don't shit them feelings in the toilet, scram!!

Didn’t the other woman have the name for like 20 something years?

'We're gonna change our name for sensitivity!' pssst, name's taken already since 20 yrs 'We're gonna pay them for the name and use it too!' pssst, they dowanna sell it for cheap if at all 'We're gonna sue them for not sharing the name they already had!' pssst, you suck
