- The dispute began after she refused an insurance-related inspection.

## Summary

Stevie Wonder has filed a lawsuit seeking to evict Carmen Efferson, his former fiancée, from a Hollywood Hills home where she has lived rent-free since 1988. The dispute followed an attempted inspection for an insurance renewal, which Efferson refused, and Wonder’s representatives say her response breached the terms of their arrangement.

The arrangement was oral, and Efferson had occupied the three-bedroom property without charge for 38 years. After she was told the agreement had been revoked and received an eviction notice, she did not leave, prompting Wonder to sue on 22 October. He is also touring to mark the 50th anniversary of *Songs in the Key of Life*.
