An indie band called The Twigs has filed a countersuit against FKA Twigs, alleging that the singer used her fame and money to weaken their trademark rights. The dispute between the two acts dates back more than a decade.
The Twigs, made up of sisters Laura Good and Linda Good, filed the countersuit on May 11. They claim that FKA Twigs, whose real name is Tahliah Barnett, gradually dropped the FKA prefix in recent years to increase public association with the name Twigs and erode the band's goodwill in the music industry. The band is seeking an injunction to stop Barnett from using the stage name along with unspecified financial compensation for trademark infringement and unfair competition.
