India Arie’s Former Manager Suing Her For Tanking Her Own Career
It’s been a long time since India Arie has been on the music scene, but her former manager says that’s her own fault.
Noreen Nalli is suing India, saying she still owes her money from when she managed her from 2005-2009, and that India sabotaged her own career, costing the manager even more money. She claims India constantly canceled shows, rejected offers to perform, and would be unavailable for weeks at a time which hurt record sales and Noreen’s profits.
India’s rep simply said, “she remains hopeful that the matter will be resolved amicably,” so India may have to come out of pocket on this one.
What the devil?! Just now suing? Something ain’t right.
I hope India Arie can work out her differences with her manager. Arie is a great talent, but perhaps she needs someone whom she admires and has a knack for working with stars and know how to lead their directions. In some ways, this situation reminds me of Fantasia. Sometimes when you’ve known success, you’re amiss as to handle it when it does happen.
