Ex-manager suing singer Ke$ha for $14M

Text

NEW YORK, Jan. 26 (UPI) -- DAS Communications, Ke$ha's former manager, has filed a $14 million lawsuit against the pop singer in New York's Manhattan Supreme Court, records show.

The firm accuses the 23-year-old recording artist, whose real name is Kesha Rose Sebert, of refusing to pay it according to her contract.

The New York Post reported Tuesday the management company's lawsuit describes Sebert as "a very young and inexperienced artist whose 'star' may not continue to rise."

"Although she has made an incredible amount of money in a very short period of time, in large part due to DAS' efforts on her behalf, she could just as easily lose money if not properly guided," the Post quoted the court papers as saying.

Sebert's hits include "Tik Tok" and "We R Who We R."
