Lil Peep’s Mother Settles Wrongful Death Lawsuit With Record Label

Rapper Lil Peep’s mother has settled her lawsuit against his former record label five years after his death.

According to a notice that was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Peep’s mother, Liza Womack has settled her suit against First Access Entertainment (FAE), the management and label services company that worked with Peep, according to Pitchfork.

The date of the settlement was dated Feb.14.

A post on Lil Peep’s social media Friday read:

“Today, Gus’s music came home.

From this day forward, his music will be in the care of his mother and brother, and no one else.

It is solemn moment for us as we reflect on the struggles of the past five years plus. We are grateful to all of the fans, friends, professionals, and family who stood by us. We were all permanently changed by Gus’s death. We know he should be here in the world with all of us, creating–making whatever he was inspired to make. But he is not. So, we will protect his music with all of our strength.”

We look forward to continuing to release Gus’s music.

This is a very important day for us.

Gustav Elijah Åhr.”

Peep’s mother filed the complaint two years after he died. The complaint alleged wrongful death, negligence, and breach of contract against First Access Entertainment, manager Bryant Ortega and tour manager Belinda Mercer.

The 21-year-old “Emo” rapper died of an accidental drug overdose.

His mother has been re-releasing her son’s music. He released one studio album in his career, Come Over When Your Sober.
