Legal war is over: The Nashville country band formerly known as Lady Antebellum (L) and blues/soul songstress Anita White (R) filed to dismiss their dueling lawsuits over the 'Lady A' name permanently on January 31'I had suggested on the Zoom call that they go by the Band Lady A, or Lady A the Band, and I could be Lady A the Artist, but they didn't want to do that,' Anita told Vulture in July 2020.'Five million dollars is nothing, and I'm actually worth more than that, regardless of what they think.
