A US record label called Brookland Media has sued Lil Kim as part of an ongoing contract dispute between the company and the rapper. Kim seemingly entered into a deal with Brookland earlier this year as regards the recording and release of a new album.
The label claim that they reached an agreement with the star and have already spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on the new album, but that Kim is now trying to renegotiate their contract and refusing to record anything else in the meantime. They want the court to state that the existing contract stands and that Kim has to fulfil the recording commitments made in it.
Kim's lawyer admitted to reporters yesterday that there was a contract dispute between his client and the plaintiffs, but argued that Brookland had only filed a lawsuit to "to leverage their own position" in the ongoing contract negotiations.
If it does go to court, let's hope Kim remembers what perjury is this time.
