Soul Tree claims it hired Norwood for $30,000 to headline the 2013 festival, and also paid for her hotel and travel, and leased equipment as required by contract. Less than 24 hours before her scheduled appearance, Brandy's manager told Soul Tree she would not arrive the morning of the performance and asked for an even more "exclusive and expensive suite," the complaint states. Soul Tree are not contesting Brandy's manager for the inconvenience and breach of contract.
