India.Arie's former manager isn't just suing her for money she claims she's owed she also believes India sabotaged her own career, which cost her even more money.

According to a lawsuit filed earlier this year in federal court in Tennessee, Noreen Nalli served as India.Arie's manager from 2005-2009, when she claims Arie dumped her without notice.

The two are now involved in a she-said-she-said battle. Nalli claims India.Arie still owes her money from when they worked together and India.Arie counter-sued, claiming she overpaid Nalli.

Nalli claims India.Arie constantly canceled shows, rejected offers to perform, and would be unavailable for weeks at a time which hurt record sales and therefore cost Nalli additional money.

A rep for India.Arie says that "she remains hopeful that the matter will be resolved amicably."
