Lil’ Kim and Foxy Brown Being Sued By Book Publishers:

A New York publisher is suing Foxy Brown and Lil’ Kim, saying they were paid advances for books they never delivered.

Simon & Schuster Inc. says Brown was paid $75,000 in 2005 to deliver an autobiography called “Broken Silence” by February 2006; and Lil’ Kim was paid $40,000 in 2003 for a novel due June 2004. (Source)

Lil’ Kim? Writing a novel? About what, her adventures to the plastic plant? Girl stop! Who’s the ghostwriter, Tanfasia? LOL. I say that’s their bad for throwing good money after bad, ya dig?! Foxy’s money went to legal bills; they’ll never see that again. Lil’ Kim’s went to her face, 3 faces ago. So they’ll never see that again EITHER.

Lil’ Wayne Sued for Unauthorized Rolling Stones Sample:

A music publishing company that owns the rights to the Rolling Stones’ song “Play With Fire” sued rapper Lil Wayne today (July 24), saying he released an altered version of the song without permission.

Abkco Music Inc accused Lil Wayne, his artistic collaborators and his record company, a unit of Universal Music Group, of copyright infringement and unfair competition.

The lawsuit filed in federal court in Manhattan seeks unspecified damages.

Lil Wayne’s “Playing with Fire” is a clear derivative of the Rolling Stones song with the original lyrics and music altered in a recognizable way, Abkco said in its lawsuit.

In one example, the lawsuit said a lyric from the Stones song is “But don’t play with me, ’cause you’re playing with fire,” and the Lil Wayne version has the line, “But you can’t blame me if I set this stage on fire.” (Source)

There goes that “a milli”! Son, you don’t play with the Rolling Stones. Sure, they will probably pay a couple million (or more) to get the song cleared in retrospect (it happens all the time), but the Rolling Stones are probably the one band that can rape your royalties from years to come. Expect to see Wayne doing “guest spots” ubiquitously again LOL.
