Filing cites Wilson's Rolling Stone interview admitting name confusion. Seeks injunction, profits, damages, merch destruction. Filing CONFIRMED — claims ALLEGED.

High Schoolers LLC — the Outkast trademark company — sued rapper and producer Silas Wilson a/k/a Ovrkast in federal court in Georgia for trademark infringement, unfair competition, and breach of a settlement requiring him to abandon OVRKAST by July 15. The lawsuit filing is CONFIRMED; the underlying consumer-confusion and breach claims remain ALLEGED.

The complaint cites Wilson's July 2025 Rolling Stone interview admitting listeners confuse Ovrkast with Outkast. Outkast claims Wilson accepted OVERKXST as a replacement stage name, then delayed paperwork and proposed previously rejected alternatives. High Schoolers argues he continued using OVRKAST after an August 5 breach notice and an August 11 deadline.

The suit seeks an injunction barring OVRKAST or similar marks across music, merch, sites, and socials, plus profits, damages, costs, and destruction of clothing or marketing materials carrying the disputed name. Context: Outkast's prior ATLiens suit settled in February 2026 (terms private).
