Lil' Kim Wins $500K In Lawsuit




5/15/08

A judge rewarded Lil’ Kim (real name: Kimberly Jones) a half-million-dollars in a lawsuit against former fellow Junior M.A.F.I.A. member Lil' Cease (real name: James Lloyd ) and his company, Ground Zero Entertainment. Lil’ Kim accused Cease and the company of misusing her name and image for an unauthorized DVD.

Lil’ Kim contended the DVD, The Chronicles of Junior M.A.F.I.A. made false advertisements and endorsements by using her name.

She was also able to halt production on the sequel, The Chronicles of Junior M.A.F.I.A: Reloaded. Manhattan federal Judge Jed Rakoff found that Lil Cease and his company wrongly capitalized on the Queen Bee’s fame.

Originally the lawsuit was filed for $6 million. Lil’ Cease had testified against Lil’ Kim in a perjury trial that landed her in prison for one month and a day back in 2005.

Since her release, the rapper’s finances have been in disarray. In April, Lil’ Kim’s Bentley, valued at over $250,000, was repossessed because she reportedly fell four to five months behind in payments.

She's an ass.

She knows that DVD made all of two dollars and that Cease is broke as hell. He's a bitch and everything, but she should be more worried about actually making money than going after trash like him.
