Delano believes that PEG management conspired with their record label to “nickel-and-dime” the singer as much as possible, at times taking as much as 70% of his appearance fees, according to documents obtained by TMZ—their report also alleges that PEG management threatened to “destroy his career” if Delano continued questioning his finances. – Read more at Out.com
