Sam Lutfi – like that other shady presence in Britney Spears’ life, Adnan Ghalib – has denied making money off his relationship with the troubled singer.

The pop wreck’s ‘manager’ was reportedly quizzed last week by Kevin Federline’s lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan about speculation he is in league with a certain pro-Brit photo agency.

Sources close to Lutfi tell TMZ: "All he is trying to do is save a life. The only ones making money off of Britney is the media."
 
As for the negative spin put on his relationship with Brit, the source says Lutfi would "never ask the media to print a lie or anything positive about either of them. Just print the truth."

Lutfi was quizzed by Kaplan during his deposition in the on-going court battle between Brit and ex-husband K-Fed over custody of sons Sean Preston and Jayden James.
