The upcoming lawsuit between Outkast and Ovrkast just got even more complicated.
Erroneously, Ovrkast posted that the claim Outkast is making against him may have some validity.
In a now deleted post on X, he confirmed rumors of a meeting between the two parties.
“For the record, I NEVER SIGNED any agreement. It was verbal and I did not ignore their date. I went back and asked politely for a name change that would work. I was cooperative every step of the way and I’m an artist in the middle of a rollout with priorities.”
Shortly after, he deleted the post, then clarified his statement.
“**For the record, I NEVER signed any agreement,” Ovrkast. “I tried my hardest to cooperate with different options every step of the way. This narrative that I’ve done wrong is also wrong. (had to clarify) peace. For: people on my f****** d***.”
When anyone tried to push back on him, he simply sent the Vince Staples song, “Get The F*** Off My D***” back as a reply.
Someone on his legal team made the call & told him to take the verbal agreement part out 😂😂😂 just log off bro https://t.co/fr0lGrd0Qj pic.twitter.com/aWOuWp5BBI

Ovrkast May Have Made An Error
While he immediately deleted the post, due to fans taking screenshots, he may have implicated himself.
The complaint accuses Ovr of trademark infringement, unfair competition and breaching an agreement that required him to change his name by July 15th.
Ovr was supposed to make a slight switch to his name, now going by Overkxst.
The suit claims he accepted the new name, but continued going by Ovrkast past July 15th. He then received a breach notice on August 5th, with a deadline of August 11th to comply.
According to documents, they’re using his 2025 Rolling Stone article as evidence to prove their claims.
“The worst thing I get is like, ‘The n**** think he Outkast.’ It’s like, ‘No, bro. I wasn’t even thinking about Outkast.’ Mad N**** do that s***. They read Ovrkast [as] Outkast. They’re like, oh my God, I thought they said Outkast. And it’s like, it don’t, so…”
The attorneys for OutKast spoke on this development.
“Defendant still has not cured his breach and continues to use the Ovrkast mark,” the statement read. “Defendant continues to use the Ovrkast mark with knowledge of Plaintiff’s rights in the famous OUTKAST mark, with knowledge that consumers associate Ovrkast with OUTKAST, and with knowledge that doing so is in breach of the Settlement Agreement.”
Here’s where things get complicated. If they came to a verbal agreement, while it’s not as damning as a signed agreement, it can still be challenged in court.
Time will tell how this plays out.
