A legal dispute has escalated between British artist Tahliah Barnett (stage name FKA twigs) and The Twigs, a 1990s musical duo, over trademark rights to the artist name ‘twigs’. After Barnett filed suit in March 2026 seeking full ownership of her moniker, The Twigs responded with a countersuit alleging that Barnett leveraged her considerable fame, record label support, and media presence to undermine their intellectual property and brand recognition. The duo contends that Barnett’s increased visibility following the 2023 Grammy-winning album EUSEXUA and her Atlantic Records deal, combined with her occasional dropping of the ‘FKA’ prefix in public appearances, constituted intentional trademark infringement. The Twigs, sisters Laura and Linda Good, seek an injunction preventing further use of the name alongside financial damages for alleged brand erosion and goodwill misappropriation.
