Britney Spears's onetime manager, Johnny Wright, has sued the singer, claiming she owes him in excess of $15,000 in back commission.

The suit, filed in Florida on Monday and obtained by TMZ.com, states that Spears was obligated to continue paying Wright Entertainment Group for deals negotiated when Wright was her manager through 2008.

Spears, according to the suit, stopped paying commissions in 2006.

Wright Entertainment Group, which managed Spears from 1999-2003, is seeking in excess of $15,000 in damages.
