After changing its name from Lady Antebellum, the grammy-winning country group Lady A has filed a lawsuit against blues singer Anita White, who also goes by Lady A, in an effort to legally dispute the blues singer’s alleged monopoly on the name.

Billboard reports that the band does not actually claim to be seeking money from the singer, but rather is suing White over her alleged “attempt to enforce purported trademarks rights in a mark that Plaintiffs have held for more than a decade,” according to the text of the lawsuit.
