FKA twigs Sues Nineties Band Over Stage Name

FKA twigs, the Grammy-winning artist, is embroiled in a legal battle with the nineties alt-pop duo, also named the Twigs, over the trademark for her stage name. The artist, Tahliah Barnett, seeks a jury trial to secure her rights to use and register the name, after receiving cease-and-desist letters from the band. Barnett argues that the bands demand for a seven-figure payout and threat to block her from using the name is unjustified, given their lack of popularity and inactivity for over a decade. She backs her case with her recent successes, including a new album and a Grammy win. The lawsuit is ongoing, with both sides yet to comment publicly.
