Summer Walker Countersued by LVRN Over Tour Money and Royalties

Summer Walker's longtime label and management company, LVRN, has countersued the R&B singer, alleging she withheld payments from her 2026 tour, songwriting royalties and business deals while pursuing her own lawsuit accusing the company of financial misconduct.

In a counterclaim filed Monday, November 9, 2026, in Fulton County, Georgia, Love Renaissance Records, known as LVRN, alleges that Walker breached their 2017 agreement by failing to pay the company its contractual shares of several revenue streams. The filing comes as Walker separately faces a lawsuit from Interscope Records seeking at least $50 million over her attempt to end another recording agreement.

According to the counterclaim, LVRN is entitled to 15% of income generated from certain business opportunities it secured for Walker and 20% of her songwriting public-performance royalties. The company also claims it was owed 7% of proceeds from her 2026 tour, payments it alleges she initially made before stopping.

LVRN maintains that Walker's failure to pay those amounts violated their agreement and caused financial losses. The company is seeking damages in an amount to be determined at trial, along with attorney fees based on its allegation that Walker acted in bad faith.

The filing also rejects Walker's accusations that LVRN exploited its position as her label and management company, misappropriated her earnings or deliberately withheld financial information. The company has asked the court to dismiss her original claims.

Walker's attorney, Keith Moten, disputed the counterclaim, maintaining that it does not address the financial misconduct alleged in her lawsuit or relieve LVRN of its obligation to account for its handling of her money. He said Walker intends to pursue her claims and challenge the company's demands.

Walker sued LVRN in August, accusing the company of breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract and fraudulent concealment. She alleges that money allocated for touring, recording, marketing and merchandise was improperly diverted and that she was denied revenue generated through Amazon and YouTube pages associated with her name and likeness.

The singer also claims LVRN concealed financial information during a business relationship that began when she was 19. Her lawsuit seeks compensatory and punitive damages and a declaration that her 2017 agreement with the company is void and unenforceable.

The Georgia dispute is unfolding alongside Interscope Records' $50 million lawsuit against Walker, filed in Los Angeles after she attempted to terminate her recording agreement under California's seven-year rule, which generally limits the enforcement of personal service contracts beyond seven years.

Interscope alleges Walker failed to deliver all the recordings required under their agreement and is seeking at least $50 million in damages. Walker disputes the company's position and has indicated that she intends to defend herself and pursue counterclaims.

A hearing in the California lawsuit is scheduled for April 15, 2027. In Georgia, LVRN's counterclaim adds a separate demand for unpaid commissions and royalties to Walker's ongoing effort to end her business relationship with the company.
