Headline: Outkast suing rapper Ovrkast for trademark infringement

Caption:

The hip-hop duo is claiming that Ovrkast reneged on a prior agreement to change his stage name. In a lawsuit filed in Atlanta federal court, André 3000 and Big Boi accused the lesser-known California artist, whose real name is Silas Wilson, of "knowingly, wilfully, intentionally, and maliciously" trying to link himself to Outkast. "Defendant's unauthorised use of the nearly identical Ovrkast mark has already damaged and will continue to damage plaintiff," lawyers for the pair wrote in the complaint, obtained by Billboard.
