‘Rolling in the Deep’ singer Adele has been asked for a percentage of royalties by her ex-boyfriend. He claims that her album ’19’ was influenced by him, because of the heartache she suffered during their relationship, so it was him who inspired her to write her songs. Adele has revealed that her former lover – who she won’t name – repeatedly called her asking for money. She says, “For about a week he was calling and was deadly serious about it. He really thought he’d had some input into the creative process by being a p***k. I’ll give him this credit – he made me an adult and put me on the road that I’m travelling.”
