Le groupe indépendant The Twigs poursuit FKA Twigs en justice pour une affaire de marque

Un groupe indépendant nommé The Twigs a déposé une demande reconventionnelle contre FKA Twigs, alléguant que la chanteuse a utilisé sa notoriété et ses ressources financières pour affaiblir leurs droits de marque. Le litige entre les deux parties remonte à plus de dix ans.

Le groupe The Twigs, composé des sœurs Laura Good et Linda Good, a déposé cette demande reconventionnelle le 11 mai. Elles affirment que FKA Twigs, dont le véritable nom est Tahliah Barnett, a progressivement abandonné le préfixe FKA ces dernières années afin d'accentuer l'association du public avec le nom Twigs et d'éroder la réputation du groupe au sein de l'industrie musicale. Le groupe demande une injonction pour interdire à Barnett l'usage de ce nom de scène, ainsi qu'une indemnisation financière non spécifiée pour contrefaçon de marque et concurrence déloyale.
