Kelis not worried about lawsuit

A representative for singer Kelis has dismissed claims from a new lawsuit stating that the singer failed to pay a talent agency more than $11,000 (£7,300).

Bosses at the agency, called Drive Talent Inc, claim that she failed to pay for their services between March and July this year and filed suit against the star this month.

According to a representative, though, Kelis is not worried about the suit. A statement for the singer posted on AllHipHop.com said:  "Drive Talent has been paid in full for services rendered for the assistance in production for various TV performances. Any claims stating otherwise is clearly an effort to gain press attention.

"The amount claimed to be owed is not for services rendered, which Drive Talent would like the public to believe, but over a dispute stemming from a European promotional run in which Drive Talent authorised the spending of close to $11,800 of the artist's money to a vendor they hired without approval from either the artist or management. We look forward to presenting our case in court and are confident once a review has been made of all evidence we have to support our argument that it will be clear Drive Talent has absolutely no ground whatsoever to stand on."
