Summer Walker Suing Label LRVN
Summer Walker is in a legal loop. The singer is suing label Love Renaissance (LRVN), while also being sued by Interscope records.
Walker is alleging fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract by her label.
In a recently filed 10-page lawsuit first obtained by Rolling Stone, Walker accuses Love Renaissance of locking her into a contract, misappropriating money from her budgets, and denying her access to revenue generated by Amazon and YouTube pages featuring her name and likeness.
The complaint goes on to accuse Love Renaissance of improperly diverting money from Walker’s touring, recording, marketing, and merchandising budgets.
Walker’s lawyer, Keith Moten Walker trusted Love Renaissance to treat her fairly and act in her best interests as a young artist. But now the singer believes the company betrayed that trust after years with the label.
“Summer is in a new phase of her life,” Moten said in a statement to Rolling Stone. “She’s been through a lot in her life, personally and professionally. She’s a mother now, and she doesn’t trust blindly anymore. She’s ready to fight for herself, her freedom and her peace.”
On the other hand, she is going through a lawsuit with Interscope and UMG who sued the singer in Los Angeles County Superior Court, saying that if Walker exited her recording contract early, the label would be entitled to damages of $50 million or more.
