Rudeboy Rob is needling Nigel
Quoted from: http://www.thesun.co.uk
'September 16, 2006 ROBBIE WILLIAMS has obviously decided he won't back down in his legal fight with ex-manager NIGEL MARTIN-SMITH.
Nigel is demanding Robbie remove a track called The 90s from his new album Rudebox - because he says it contains serious and completely untrue allegations about him in the lyrics.
But on Thursday night Robbie defied legal warnings and rapped the song in front of 65,000 fans at the Milton Keynes Bowl.
Just before he sang the old Take That tune Back For Good, Robbie told the crowd: 'Did you see a story in The Sun today about me?
'My former manager’s got a problem with a song on my album called The 90s.'
Robbie then rapped the lyrics - which I can't print for legal reasons - and asked: 'What's wrong with that?'
I'm sure Nigel didn’t buy a ticket for the gig but he will be livid when he hears what Robbie did and will no doubt send another stroppy letter to the singer's lawyers.
I've got a feeling Robbie ignored advice from his own legal team - and he may end up regretting it.
Rudebox is due out on October 23. But if Robbie and Nigel don’t sort out their dispute in time the release could be put back.
That would be a disaster for Robbie's label because it could flush an expensive marketing campaign down the pan. Already it means they can’t press millions of CDs for fear they might have to be scrapped.
Robbie is doing five Milton Keynes gigs as part of his Close Encounters world tour.
He was supposed to play at the new Wembley - but the stadium wasn’t finished.
Poking fun at the slow builders, Robbie said: 'Wembley should be ready in time for THEO WALCOTT's testimonial.''
