Stevie Wonder Wants Ex Out of L.A. Home After 38 Years Rent-Free | EURweb | Black News, Culture, Entertainment & More

The singer seeks removal and damages after his attorneys say a decades-long rent-free arrangement ended over access for an insurance inspection.

  • Music icon Stevie Wonder has filed an eviction lawsuit against Carmen Efferson, a former fiancée, seeking to reclaim a Los Angeles property she has occupied rent-free since July 1988.
  • The legal action follows a dispute over an insurance inspection this summer, when Wonder's representatives attempted to enter the property and Efferson allegedly refused access, potentially jeopardizing coverage.
  • Communications grew heated when Efferson accused an attorney of having a "racist cold-blooded" attitude in an email; Attorney David Huff responded by noting the lawyer was neither white nor male.
  • After Efferson allegedly failed to vacate by August 27, 2026, Wonder is now asking a judge to order her removal and award damages and legal expenses.
  • This eviction dispute mirrors past celebrity real estate battles, including Usher's 2012 conflict with ex-wife Tameka Foster over a Georgia mansion and Porsha Williams's recent divorce dispute with Simon Guobadia over Atlanta property access.
