Summer Walker is being countersued by her longtime label and management company, LVRN, which claims the R&B singer owes unpaid commissions and royalties from her music, touring and business deals.
The Atlanta-based company filed its countersuit Monday, Nov. 9, accusing Summer of breaching their 2017 contract, according to Billboard.
“Walker has acted in bad faith and been stubbornly litigious,” LVRN’s attorneys wrote in court documents.
The company alleges Summer failed to pay a 7% commission from her Still Finally Over It arena tour, 20% of her public performance royalties and 15% of certain additional earnings. LVRN also claims it helped secure lucrative opportunities, including a Savage x Fenty partnership and a spot on Chris Brown’s Breezy Bowl stadium tour.
The countersuit follows Summer’s August lawsuit accusing LVRN of improperly collecting money from her music, merchandise and performances.
Her attorney, Keith Moten, rejected the company’s latest claims.
“We strongly dispute LVRN’s counterclaims and remain confident in the legal and factual grounds supporting Summer’s lawsuit,” he told Billboard.
LVRN is seeking unspecified financial damages.
Meanwhile, Summer faces another legal headache. Interscope Records has sued her for $50 million, alleging she delivered only three albums under a five-album agreement.
The singer is seeking to end her contractual relationships with both companies.
