Summer Walker’s push to walk away from LVRN has become a two-sided fight. The label now wants money from her, according to a new Fulton County filing first reported by Rolling Stone.
LVRN is asking the court to dismiss her complaint and award damages at trial. It also insists it never acted in “bad faith.”
The counterclaim targets three revenue streams. LVRN wants 15 percent of income from business deals it helped secure, plus 20 percent of her songwriting performance royalties. It also says Walker stopped sending its seven percent share of her 2026 Finally Over It tour earnings after initially paying it.
What Is Summer Walker’s Legal Dispute With LVRN About?
Walker sued in August over a contract she signed in September 2017. She accuses the Atlanta label of diverting money meant for touring, recording, marketing, and merchandise, and of keeping her in the dark about the finances.
She also claims she saw no revenue from merchandise sold through Amazon or a YouTube page that used her name and likeness. Her goal is a ruling that ends the agreement entirely.
Her attorney, Keith Moten, had not responded to a request for comment when the report went live.
This is not the only front. Walker is also battling Interscope, which sued in October seeking at least $50 million over recordings it says she still owes.
The label argues her deal requires five studio albums and that Last Day of Summer and CLEAR do not count toward that total. Walker disputes those claims. She is trying to exit the recording contract under California’s seven-year rule.
A hearing in the Los Angeles case is set for April 15.
The stakes are high for both camps. Over It, Still Over It, and Finally Over It form the core of her catalog, and LVRN helped build that run. The label, which also represents 6lack, now distributes through The Orchard while keeping its Interscope partnerships.
For now, a judge will have to untangle who owes what, and the answer could reshape one of R&B’s most closely watched careers.
