LVRN Countersues Summer Walker, Alleging Unpaid Commissions and Royalties

Billboard and Rolling Stone reported that they obtained a Monday, Nov 9, court filing in Fulton County, Georgia, in which Love Renaissance, known as LVRN, denies Summer Walker's August claims and countersues her for breach of contract. The filing itself was not opened here, so the account of the allegations follows those reports. The figures below are LVRN's claims in the filing, not findings by a court.
According to Billboard, LVRN's lawyers wrote that "Walker has acted in bad faith and been stubbornly litigious," and alleged that she has not paid cuts set out in her 2017 contract, including a 7 percent commission from her 2026 tour, a 20 percent share of public-performance royalties, and a 15 percent management commission. Billboard identified the tour as the Still Finally Over It arena tour. Rolling Stone described it as the Finally Over It tour and reported LVRN's claim that Walker began making the tour payments, then stopped. Rolling Stone also reported that LVRN is asking the court to dismiss Walker's original complaint. Walker, in her August suit, has accused LVRN of breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, and fraudulent concealment, and has asked the court to declare the 2017 agreement void, Rolling Stone reported. This counterclaim is separate from Interscope's earlier suit under California's seven-year rule.
Walker's attorney disputes the counterclaim
Keith Moten, Walker's attorney, told Billboard and Rolling Stone on Wednesday, Nov 11, that the counterclaim "does nothing to change the fundamental issues at the heart of Summer's lawsuit, nor does it diminish their obligation to account for their actions." He also said, "We strongly dispute LVRN's counterclaims and remain confident in the legal and factual grounds supporting Summer's lawsuit."
