Apollonia Files Lawsuit Against Prince’s Estate Over Name Ownership Disputeac

Apollonia Files Lawsuit Against Prince’s Estate Over Name Ownership Disputeac
August 20, 2025

In a tea-spilling legal move reminiscent of a Shakespearean drama, Apollonia has filed a lawsuit against Prince's estate over a name ownership dispute. The battle for the rights to the moniker "Apollonia" has ignited a firestorm in the music world, with both sides digging in their heels for what looks to be a lengthy legal showdown.

For those unfamiliar with the backstory, Apollonia was a key figure in Prince's inner circle during the 1980s, rising to fame as a member of the all-female group Apollonia 6. However, her relationship with Prince was not without its complications, leading to a bitter fallout that has only intensified in the wake of his passing.

Now, years later, Apollonia is taking a stand against the late icon's estate, claiming that she has the rightful claim to the name that has been synonymous with her musical legacy. In a statement released to Vinyl Castle, Apollonia's legal team stated, "We believe that Apollonia has a valid claim to the name she has worked so hard to uphold. This lawsuit is not just about protecting her rights, but also about preserving the integrity of her artistry."

On the other side of the ring, Prince's estate has remained tight-lipped about the legal battle, leaving fans to speculate about the potential outcome of this high-stakes showdown. Will Apollonia emerge victorious, reclaiming her name and solidifying her place in music history? Or will Prince's estate maintain its grip on the legacy of the Purple One, leaving Apollonia to contend with a potential rebranding?

As the legal drama unfolds, one thing is certain: the music industry is in for a wild ride. With passions running high and egos clashing, the battle for the name "Apollonia" could very well become the headline-grabbing saga of the year. Stay tuned as Vinyl Castle continues to bring you the latest updates on this gripping legal showdown.
