Robbie Williams may be sued by his ex-manager Nigel Martin-Smith.
Nigel - who helped Robbie find fame with boyband Take That - is reportedly holding talks with top lawyer Andrew Caldecott about suing the ‘Angels’ singer for libel.
The final straw came after Nigel heard Robbie has penned another nasty track about him on new album ‘Rudebox’.
A source told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: "Nigel has always kept a dignified silence despite Robbie’s remarks but this time he has overstepped the mark and Nigel is upset and angry." In new track ‘The Nineties’ Robbie says he’d like to stick knives in the eyes of his former manager.
He sings: "Either you’re a thief or you’re a s**t, which one will you admit to? "Such an evil man, I used to fantasise about taking a Stanley knife and playing round with your eyes." Robbie says the song confronts the issues he has had with Nigel since he quit the band in 1995 and was sued for breach of contract.
He claims the band were never paid for their European tour and says Nigel was either a "thief or a rubbish manager".
The source added: "Robbie has called into question Nigel’s honesty and ability as a manager when it’s well known that without him he wouldn’t have a career in the first place. This has got to stop." This is not the first time Robbie has attacked Nigel in a song.
In 1998 track ‘Karma Killer’ he branded Nigel the "spawn of Satan", before adding "I hope you choke on your Bacardi and Coke".
