While they expected to be looking after his business, they were expected to tend to his exotic snake collection. The suit further adds he has multiple snakes, including Cleopatra – his contractor that weighs around 200 pounds. Nabaa even credits herself for helping him sign with the Lakers, something which Howard agreed to by thanking her during an interview. While he owes them money, he also fired them this January without any warning.
