OutKast taking legal action over a name that's just one letter away from their own is quite the row, and it speaks to how seriously artists guard their brand identity. The claim that there was a deal to change the spelling and then it didn't happen adds another layer to what could have been a simple case of unfortunate coincidence. For Cledvibes Radio listeners who follow hip-hop drama, this is a reminder that the business side of music can get pretty messy, even when the artists involved probably just want to make good music. It's a situation where both sides clearly felt wronged, and the courts will have to sort out who's got the stronger case.
