Lil' Kim Sued Over Record Deal

Rapper Lil' Kim has been hit with a $2 million dollar lawsuit, amidst claims she tried to exit her contract with a fledgling entertainment company.

 

Brookland Media, which was launched by famed Hip-Hop producers The Trackmasters (Tone and Poke), filed the lawsuit in New York County Court.

 

The lawsuit accuses Lil' Kim of breaching a one-year contractual agreement by demanding a more lucrative deal.

 

According to the lawsuit, Kim refused to perform unless Brookland agrees to a number of requests, including demands to have Wyclef and Akon added as producers.

 

In addition to withholding a $200,000 payment to full free Kim from her contract with Atlantic Records, Brookland won an injunction, temporarily preventing Lil' Kim from negotiating with other record labels.

 

Brookland also claims it invested another $250,000 dollars towards the album and Lil' Kim's career. L. Londell McMillian is representing Lil' Kim, while Jonathan Davis represents Brookland.

DruMANATI said:

being that she signed the deal with the trackmasters, she knew she would not be allowed to add other producers to the project. its obvious. its not like dre is going to sign you to a exclusive deal and you gonna get beats from kanye. thats not the way it works.

yeah if your signed to aftermath, you can have anyones beats but it seems as if the trackmasters got her to sign a contract of a project exclusively done by them.

she stay on some diva shit anyway making demands like she has been successful or some shit. shes not even relevant. she hasnt sold shit since hardcore.

She should of went independent. Kim probably wanted the advance money to unkeep her cosmetic surgery. it's a business ur in, y take money then damand more later? Sounds like sumone in kim ear, once you sign on the dotted line, you gotta ride the wave. She been in the game how long, she haven't learned yet?

Not relevant? Are you stupid? Name another female rapper that is still making hits. Kim has done more shit this year than any other rap chick. She's been on mad remixes with some major players in the game. So to say that shes not relevant is just fucking ignorant. Get your shit straight before you start making lame ass comments.

@Saint174

get my shit straight???

i've written for everything from local newspapers to the best websites on the net to your favorite hiphop publications (the source, xxl, yeah exactly)

so who you telling to get their shit straight. when was the last kim album you bought???????  i doubt you bought any and just because she got songs on the radio dont mean she is successful. she has gone wood with all her albums but hardcore.


btw, i interviewed her when i was working at vh1 news and she thinks her most successful time in her life  was in her words "when big was around" meaning her hardcore days.


so my nigga you get your shit straight. you dont know who the fuck you're talking to behind this monitor. you could of easily disagreed but you felt the need to go hard like you know something i dont know. but evewrything you typed in your lil message is hollow so relax yourself and dont try to teach someone that is light years ahead of you when it comes to hiphop journalism or just knowledge of the culture from the get...son!

Grumpy said:

Damn, first S&S sues over the book, now this...

Kim is relevant...just for all the wrong reasons:

Jail
Too much surgery (face, implants, lips)
Wardrobe malfunctions
Bad relationships (World, Maino, Storch to name a few)
Ride repo (put that on Storch, but she was involved)

The spittin' comes after all of the above. A few bangas, but mostly drama. Folks either feel she fell off or feel sorry for her.

@DruMANATI :

Dont get all internet thug on me nigga. I bought the very last album she made Ms. G.O.A.T. So dont start getting puffed on some "Im a Hip Hop Journalist" type shit cuz you youre hyping yourself up nigga. Of couse she felt she was at the top when she released Hardcore. She was the ONLY female spitting hard and not giving a fuck. So of course it something to be proud about. Ask her that question now and I bet you she would say she is at a different level than she WAS back then.

To say shes not relevant is stupid. How the fuck are you going to say that? She's the ONLY relevant female rapper out today. And thats something to write about seeing that female rappers are pretty much obsolete today. I dont need to see you to know that youre pretty much talking out of your ass. Light years ahead? Nigga you must have stalled about half way thru your run. So give respect where respect is due and give this bitch her props.

October 9, 2008 6:14 AM ...
Yall need to stop sleeping on the Ladies..Why is it always a double standard..Lil Kim is just as good as any male rapper...Yes she gets 2 mill for a deal she is the queens of rap right now..
She might be wack to you but obviously not, because she was offered a 2 million dollar deal, so the maybe you need to shut up..

However this is proof that Kim career is over..She been taking L's left and right since she broke ways with Junior Mafia..We now are starting to see that Foxy Brown is the smart one...

@ Davy da prince

i respect the fact that you responded like an adult. niggaz get mad because i hurt their feelings.


@Saint174

no internet thuggin homeboy...how am i thuggin when im telling you my credentials. im not running around talkin all rah-rah. im a writer/journalist, etc. no thug in this guy buddy.


all im saying is i been interviewing people since 97,98...where were you back then...hence the light years ahead of you buddy.

dont catch feelings. kim looks like a rag doll and more than likely that album you bought...she didnt see any monetary return from that except for the 0.17 per album atlantic allows. that shit prolly went to her bail. fall back son!

Fox, Kim, Remy, Jackie-0, all of them been taking L's. Khia makes a fool of herself daily. Folks talk more about Trina being with K-Mart's still married ass than her music.

Jean Grae so disgusted with the game, she bounced. Ain't heard from Bahamadia in forever. Lauren and Badu making babies. Lady Luck ain't so lucky. Charli never makes an album that sees the light of day, but she somehow still gets guapped up. Buddy Guy's daughter (from Luda's label) ain't been heard from lately.

Queen Pen looking like a centerfold with her thick ass (Lawd, she can get it), but no music coming. Eve acting, La acting and hawking everything from makeup to weightloss and aint' spittin no more, Lyte and Monie still look great, but they got real jobs, no spittin' from either. Murda Mami's roster changes constantly...A few anonymous chicks get a 16 here and there, but ain't really nothing coming.

All the ladies got in rap is...Lil Mama??? W-T-F???
