  "summary": "Billboard reports that Summer Walker's management company, LVRN, has filed a countersuit against the singer, alleging that she is the one who breached their 2017 contract by refusing to share key cuts of her earnings. Walker had previously sued LVRN in August, accusing the Atlanta-based indie music company of skimming money from her music, touring, and merch. LVRN denies these claims and now asserts that Walker has acted in bad faith and been \"stubbornly litigious\" throughout the legal proceedings. The company lists over two dozen \"lucrative\" business deals negotiated for Walker, including partnerships with Rihanna's Savage x Fenty brand, her opening act slot on Chris Brown's Breezy Bowl stadium tour, and a performance at the FIFA World Cup. LVRN is now seeking unspecified financial damages from Walker for breach of contract. Walker's attorney, Keith Moten, maintains that the counterclaim does not change the fundamental issues at the heart of Summer's lawsuit or diminish their obligation to account for their actions.",
