BB King sued by former manager
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 14 July 2009
BB King is being sued by a former business manager who claims that the blues legend has failed to pay him a cut of his revenues for almost a decade. Floyd Leiberman claims he was due a cut of King’s income as a result of a past management contract, but that he has received nothing since 2000. Leiberman reckons the singer and guitarist has earned over $100 million in that time, and he is suing for a $1.5 million share. The manager filed his legal papers at the New York court – King’s people are yet to comment.
