The original Lady A is asking for real allyship.
in an interview published Tuesday."People know me by Lady A. I worked hard to get where I am. So, if you think that I’m going to allow you to come in and just disrespect Black, indigenous people of this land and people of color, I’m not going to do that. You don’t get to disrespect us that way.
A day later, White, who is Black, blasted the country group in an Instagram post, saying:"How can you say Black Lives Matter and put your knee on the neck of another Black artist? I'm not mad..I am however not giving up my name, my brand I worked hard for. #GodWillFightMyBattle #TheRealLadyA #LadyABluesSoulFunkGospelArtist #TheTruthIsLoud"
White has continued speaking out on how the band's name change has affected her own career , calling out the hypocrisy of a white group changing their name in an effort to distance themselves from a name with ties to slavery, only to take over a name already used by a Black woman."You can't be halfway woke," White said."If you’re going to be an ally, be an ally. Put action behind your words.
White maintains there's"no coexistence" between herself and the band, asking the country group to change its name entirely. Going forward, she wants the controversy to be an example of why white people need to"step up and start talking about race. "They need to talk to little children about race, the way Black people get talked to about race," she said."I believe the conversations and communication are important in order to combat any difficulty that you might run into it. But racism needs to be handled by white people and we need them to start being allies, which is why I have this passion around the fact that Lady Antebellum needs to completely change their name.
