Overview
- Jeff Evans and his companies sued on Oct. 6 for breach of contract and unjust enrichment, and Andra Day filed her own lawsuit the next day accusing him of misappropriating her funds.
- Evans asserts he is entitled to a 40% share of Day’s publishing and a 20% commission on other income, claims he has not been paid since 2024, and seeks at least $850,000 tied to advances and recent projects.
- Day’s filing alleges Evans kept a $600,000 Warner Records recording fund and diverted about $1 million in music income, leaving her facing eviction and unable to meet credit card minimums or tour.
- Her suit calls the 40% publishing provision exploitative, says key terms expired in 2023, and requests an accounting and a court declaration ending those profit and commission claims.
- Evans’ side denies Day’s allegations as baseless, says annual financial statements were provided and that she was paid more than required, while Day’s complaint claims his companies admitted failing to pay her at least $575,486.
