Summer Walker Accuses LVRN of Fraud Amid Interscope Contract Fight

Summer Walker has sued LVRN, which also manages her, alleging fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract. Interscope has filed its own suit seeking more than $50 million if Walker exits before completing her five-album deal. Walker, who signed with the companies in 2017 and has released three albums, claims LVRN ran a YouTube channel and sold merchandise using her name without paying her.

Expanded Detail

Walker sued LVRN in Atlanta in August. The company both labels and manages her. She claims it ran a YouTube channel in her name and sold merchandise with her likeness without informing or paying her. She also says historical data was deleted before the channel was transferred to her, and revenue went unpaid.

Walker signed with LVRN and Interscope in 2017 under a joint venture and has released three albums, including Finally Over It, which topped the Billboard 200. After she signaled an exit in August using California's seven-year rule, Interscope sued, saying it could seek more than $50 million if she leaves before completing five albums. Her lawyer says voiding the contract is her main goal.
