インディーバンドのThe TwigsがFKA Twigsに対し、同歌手が自身の名声と資金力を利用してバンドの商標権を侵害しているとして反訴を提起した。両者の紛争は10年以上前から続いている。
ローラ・グッドとリンダ・グッドの姉妹で構成されるThe Twigsは、5月11日に反訴を提起した。彼女らは、本名タリア・バーネットであるFKA Twigsが、近年「FKA」という接頭辞を徐々に外すことで、「Twigs」という名前との世間的な結びつきを強め、音楽業界におけるバンドの長年の信用を損なわせていると主張している。バンド側は、バーネットが同芸名を使用することの差し止めを求めているほか、商標権侵害および不正競争に対する不特定の金銭的賠償を求めている。
