River House/Columbia Nashville star Luke Combs is taking matters into his own hands regarding a counterfeit merch lawsuit against Florida fan Nicol Harness, who was ordered to pay the Country star $250k for selling drink tumblers on Amazon adorned with his face.
In a video posted to his socials, Combs says he was “completely and utterly unaware” of the lawsuit first reported by Tampa TV Station WFLA, clarifying that his anti-counterfeiting efforts target major corporations, not individual fans like Harness.
Now, Combs has promised to double Harness's frozen earning of $5,500 and plans to release his own branded tumblers, with proceeds aiding Harness and her family.
“No fan should ever have to be involved in anything like this,” Combs said in the video. “I’m not greedy in any way, shape, or form. Money is the last thing on my mind.”
Additionally, Combs invited the fan and her family to see him perform so he can “give her a hug” and apologize in person.
