Summer Walker Sues LVRN for Fraud Over YouTube and Amazon Cash, Wants 2017 Deal Voided
Summer Walker sued LVRN (Love Renaissance) for fraud, alleging the label hid YouTube and Amazon revenue and diverted tour/recording/merch budgets. She wants her Sept. 15, 2017 deal voided. Complaint filed Aug. 28, surfaced Oct. 13. Separate from Interscope's $50M suit.
Summer Walker is taking her own label to court — and it's not the Interscope fight already on the books.
In a 10-page complaint filed Aug. 28 and first obtained by Rolling Stone (Nancy Dillon, Oct. 13, 2026), the Atlanta R&B star accuses Love Renaissance (LVRN) of fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, and fraudulent concealment. Complex (Trey Alston, Oct. 14) and Billboard Pro also covered the filing. The suit did not surface publicly until this week.
Walker alleges LVRN locked her into an onerous Sept. 15, 2017 agreement when she was 19, then improperly diverted money from her touring, recording, marketing, and merchandising budgets while charging excessive company expenses to those accounts. She claims the company sold merchandise bearing her name and likeness on Amazon and other retail sites without paying her a share, and that it operated a YouTube page in her name without her knowledge, then deleted its historical data before transferring control — without paying her any revenue the page generated.
She is asking the court to declare the 2017 LVRN agreement "void and unenforceable" and seeking compensatory and punitive damages. Her lawyer, Keith Moten, told Rolling Stone she no longer trusts the label: "Summer has given LVRN iconic music, and some of the best years of her life. In return, LVRN has breached Summer's trust in them and has failed Summer in numerous ways." Lawyers for LVRN did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone.
This is separate from Interscope/UMG's $50 million lawsuit against Walker in Los Angeles (filed Oct. 9 after she invoked California's seven-year rule). Moten has said she plans to countersue Interscope. The LVRN claims remain allegations — no verdict has been issued.
