Lady A, the country trio of Dave Haywood, Charles Kelley and Hillary Scott, have filed a lawsuit against Anita White, a blues singer who goes by the same name.

According to Billboard, the suit alleges that White is "attempt[ing] to enforce purported trademarks rights in a mark that Plaintiffs have held for more than a decade," and asks the court to affirm the band's right to the name.

The trio Lady A officially changed their name from Lady Antebellum to the shorter nickname, on June 11, amid national conversations about racism and inequality. As their suit — filed on Wednesday (July 8) in Nashville's U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee — explains, they have used the two names interchangeably as far back as 2006.
