Former manager sues Tricky over unpaid fees

Tricky is being sued by his former manager for £150,000, claiming he is owed a share of the rapper's recent earnings.

In April 2010, Matt Willis claims he became Tricky's manager. The rapper agreed to pay him 20% of his income in a three-year deal for representation.

Less than a year later, the arrangement fizzled out. Willis was allegedly fired in February 2011, and Tricky moved to Crown Management, which represents Jessie J and Sugababes. Willis reportedly received £44,633, according to the High Court writ. He is now demanding £112,600 in unpaid fees and a cut of Tricky's earnings until 2013.

Tricky has yet to respond to Willis's claims.
