8 things LadyA (the singer) needs you to understand about the name feud with Lady A (the band.)
Nearly a month after Lady A the band sued Lady A the blues singer over the right to share the name, the two parties are no closer to a solution. And to hear the Seattle-based solo artist Anita White, 62, who has been using that stage handle for more than two decades tell it, they won't be until she's the last Lady A left standing or she is compensated to rebrand.Billboard
"I’m not going to do this song and dance for you to make you woke, then when the smoke clears I still have nothing," White says."Because that is what happens to us and that wasn’t going to happen. Everybody needs to be forgiven, they need to change their name. Everybody makes mistakes, I am not perfect. If they can do that? Sure, I would love… I don’t hold any animosity towards them, I am just going to hold their feet to the fire of their statement.
I was grabbing gigs here and there, working a day job, I was doing what people do, I was hustling and doing what I needed to do to be an artist. So no, I don’t have lawyers telling me, 'you need to trademark that.' I never once thought about it. I saw there was a gospel singer named Lady A. I did do that when I thought about the name. I was already Lady A because I didn't want people to know my real name."No. A four-year-old can know that.
Why the history of Black artists being exploited or pushed aside is part of why White says she will not be moved
