Summer Walker Invokes California Law to Exit Interscope Deal, Triggering $50M Lawsuit
R&B star Summer Walker is embroiled in a high-stakes legal dispute with Interscope Records after invoking California’s seven-year statute to terminate her 2017 recording contract. The label filed a lawsuit on October 9, 2026, in Los Angeles County Superior Court, seeking over $50 million in damages for undelivered albums. Walker’s team argues the contract is no longer enforceable after seven years, while Interscope claims she owes two more studio albums and an EP. Both parties have expressed a desire for an amicable resolution, though the label filed suit to meet a strict 45-day statutory deadline.
