FKA twigs, born Tahliah Barnett, has sued the 1990s alt-pop duo the Twigs over trademark rights to her stage name, seeking a jury trial after the band issued cease-and-desist letters in May 2024 demanding a seven-figure payment. Barnett changed her name from "the Twigs" to "FKA twigs" in 2014 following the duo's initial lawsuit, and now argues the parties operate in "entirely different commercial ecosystems" based on their vastly different streaming metrics.
