Summer Walker Sues Label For Fraud
The post Summer Walker Sues Label For Fraud appeared first on Stereogum .
Summer Walker, the Atlanta-based singer-songwriter, has filed a lawsuit against her former label, LVRN (Love Renaissance), for fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract. Walker alleges that LVRN fraudulently withheld money and abused its control over her as an artist, improperly diverting funds from her touring, recording, marketing, and merchandising budgets, while charging excessive company expenses to those accounts in bad faith.
Additionally, she claims that LVRN ran a YouTube page in her name and sold merch using her name and likeness without informing or paying her. The lawsuit further alleges that LVRN's agreement with Walker granted oppressive and extensive rights to the label, giving it controlling influence over Walker and breaching its fiduciary duties of good faith and fair dealing.
Walker seeks to have her 2017 agreement with LVRN declared void and unenforceable, as well as compensatory and punitive damages to be determined by the court.
