Summer Walker‘s battle to break free from her record label agreements has taken another dramatic turn.

Because longtime label and management company LVRN (Love Renaissance) has fired back at the R&B singer with a countersuit, alleging that she owes the company money from touring, royalties, and business deals.

And with Walker already locked in a separate $50 million legal dispute with Interscope Records, the latest development adds another layer to her fight for contractual freedom.

Full story below…

Per Rolling Stone, LVRN has filed a breach-of-contract counterclaim against Walker in Georgia.

The company denies the fraud and financial misconduct allegations made in Walker’s lawsuit against the label in August.

Instead, LVRN alleges that the songbird failed to pay several agreed-upon percentages of her earnings.

These reportedly include 15% of income from certain business opportunities, 20% of songwriting performance royalties, and 7% of proceeds from her 2026 tour.

The company claims Walker initially made the tour-related payments before stopping.

LVRN is seeking unspecified damages and the dismissal of her original lawsuit.

However, Walker’s attorney, Keith Moten, has firmly rejected the counterclaim.:

“We strongly dispute LVRN’s counterclaims and remain confident in the legal and factual grounds supporting Summer’s lawsuit.”

The latest courtroom clash follows Interscope’s $50 million lawsuit, which centers on Walker’s attempt to leave her recording deal before delivering all five albums the company says she owes.

With both label relationships now the subject of litigation, the singer’s bid to move forward on her own terms is proving anything but straightforward.
