“In an exclusive statement to Rolling Stone , Ovrkast said that throughout his career, he has built his name independently of Outkast and never had the intention to copy their moniker or cause confusion among fans.”
“The lawsuit claims Ovrkast, whose real name is Silas Wilson, knowingly chose his stage name “to trade upon the tremendous fame and goodwill associated with plaintiff’s Outkast name and mark” and alleges Wilson’s use of the name has already caused confusion among consumers, pointing to a 2025 Rolling Stone interview as evidence.”
““It’s like, ‘No, bro.”
“And it’s like, it don’t.” The complaint also claims that Wilson reneged on a binding, negotiated agreement where he would change his stage name to Overkxst and stop using Ovrkast on his website, social media and streaming accounts, domain name, newsletters, advertising and marketing materials, clothing, and merchandise.”
