Pink is being sued for unpaid royalties by the former producers of her debut album, Can't Take Me Home.

According to a lawsuit filed in New York last month, the company Specialists Entertainment claim that a deal was signed by Pink for them and Thunderstone Productions to co-produce Can't Take Me Home.

Reportedly, the companies agreed to split the royalties 50/50 of the two tracks that Specialist Entertainment worked on - 'Can't Take Me Home' and 'Hiccup' - but now Specialist Entertainment are saying that they never receieved their cut.

The album was released in 2000 and sold more than 5 million copies, and Specialist Entertainment are suing for £22,633, which they say is the remainder of the money they're owed.

A spokesperson for Pink - real name Alecia Moore - says, "Her record company Sony are responsible for paying the producers."


Pink says that the unpaid royalties are not her fault.

Pink recently said she was going to delete her Instagram after the site made changes to their privacy rules.

She wrote on Twitter, "I WILL BE QUITTING INSTAGRAM TODAY. WHAT A BUMMER. YOU SHOULD ALL READ THEIR NEW RULES."

Other stars such as Michelle Branch and Olivia Wilde plan to do the same.
