Outkast Is Suing Rapper Ovrkast For Infringing On Their Nearly Identical Name [VIDEO]

Hey, ya !!  The dirty south legendary rap duo Outkast is suing a rapper named Ovrkast for infringing on their ‘nearly identical’ name and the “famous and extremely valuable” brand.  OutKast filed a federal trademark lawsuit against Oakland rapper and producer Ovrkast. (Silas Wilson) in September 2026 over the similarity of his stage name.

Outkast’s trademark company, High Schoolers LLC, is named as the plaintiff in the lawsuit and Wilson as the defendant. In the complaint, filed in a federal court in Georgia, Wilson is accused of “trademark infringement, unfair competition, and breaching an agreement requiring him to abandon OVRKAST by July 15, 2026.” Outkast said Wilson agreed to replace his stage name with “OVERKXST.” However, he allegedly delayed the paperwork and proposed two previously-rejected alternatives. Furthermore, Outkast highlighted Wilson’s own words from a July 2025 Rolling Stone interview. The legendary Hip-Hop group said Ovrkast. himself admitted to confusion existing over his name.

Following news of the lawsuit on Monday, Ovrkast. gave a short response on X. Sharing an AllHipHop report about the case and tagging the legendary Atlanta duo’s account, he wrote, “Ouch @Outkast.”

Ouch @Outkast
