Nick Cannon has filed a lawsuit against Mariah Carey's business manager Michael Kane over the sale of their $9 million Bel-Air mansion. According to Nick's lawsuit obtained by E! News, Michael didn't inform him about the house's sale or the closing date until February 24.
Nick said in his lawsuit that he had "no objection" to sell the house but his "initial efforts to obtain copies of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and other documents pertinent to the transaction were rebuffed by Kane."
The "America's Got Talent" host also claimed he had "yet to see the estimated settlement agreement nor has he been provided with any information about required closing costs and loan payoffs, and other planned disbursements from escrow."
Nick is seeking a trust be placed on the sale proceeds from the house until proper accounting for distribution of the sales proceeds. He is also seeking a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against Michael from obtaining, disbursing or using any of the funds from escrow of the house.
Michael tells TMZ that Nick's lawsuit is "frivolous," adding that it's "clearly a desperate act from a sadly desperate man." Nick's representative, meanwhile, hasn't commented on the report yet.
