Overview
- The indie duo Laura and Linda Good filed a countersuit Monday, May 11, seeking an injunction against the use of “FKA Twigs” and unspecified damages for trademark infringement and unfair competition.
- FKA Twigs, born Tahliah Barnett, sued in March claiming she has used the name since 2013 and says she offered the duo $15,000 to let both acts keep their names.
- The Twigs allege Barnett sometimes dropped the “FKA” in public settings and used her celebrity and media reach to erode the band’s goodwill linked to “Twigs.”
- Barnett’s filing says the sisters sent new cease-and-desist letters in 2024 and demanded a seven-figure payout to release their claims.
- An injunction would bar Barnett from performing or releasing music as “FKA Twigs,” which could force a rebrand if the court grants it.
