Adele?s Ex-Boyfriend Demands Royalties for ?19?

Adele, who is currently riding high on the charts in both the United States and the UK with her album 21, is facing some heat from her ex-boyfriend, who claims he deserves a slice of the profits from her debut album, 19.
The ex says that he feels their doomed relationship was the inspiration for a number of the album’s heartbroken, lovelorn songs. Adele, naturally, is furious as the assumption and entitlement her ex is showing.
She said, “For about a week, he was calling and was serious about it. Finally, I said, ‘Well, you made my life hell, so I lived it and now I deserve it.’”
She adds, “He really thought he’d had some input into the creative process by being a prick. I’ll give him the credit – he made me an adult, and put me on the road that I’m travelling.”
Sounds like Adele has no plans of forking over any cash to her ex-flame. 21 is currently stacked at the top of the UK charts – for its 14th straight week. 19 was released in 2008 and is currently holding onto the number 3 spot on the charts.
It takes an awful lot of guts for a person to demand royalties for songs written over heartbreak…I’m glad she’s taking it for what it is – ridiculous!
