Ke$ha's former managers DAS Communications filed a lawsuit against the 23 year old chart-topping singer. Her former managers said that the pop star squeezed them out of her career under pressure from hit songwriter Dr.Luke. They also added that they were by her side when she was still an up-and-comer in 2006.
The singer's lawyer, Charles Ortner, said that she was entitled to exercise her rights and end her relationship with the firm, headed by David Sonenberg . DAS Communications sued Ke$ha on Wednesday in the state court of Manhattan.
The TikTok singer had an agreement with DAS which states that the contract lets her end the relationship if she didn't get a major-label record in a year. A year later there was no deal. DAS says Ke$ha waved the deadline, and the firm went on to line up a deal for her with Warner Bros. Records in 2008 . The firm said that Dr. Luke came into the picture and "induced, intimidated and convinced Ke$ha" to cut ties with them.
The lawsuit filed in the state court of Manhattan seeks more than $14 million in damages from her and $12 million from Dr. Luke.
Dr. Luke is an award-winning songwriter who wrote five of the top hits of 2009, including Katy Perry's "Hot N Cold," Miley Cyrus' "Party in the USA" and Flo Rida's "Right Round."
