A recording company has filed a $2.5 million lawsuit against rapper Lil Kim, claiming she hasn't delivered material required in her contract.

According to the Associated Press, Brookland Media filed the lawsuit Tuesday (October 7) in Manhattan's state Supreme Court. However, Kim's lawyer, Londell McMillan, says Brookland sued "to leverage their own position" in the contract dispute.

The lawsuit claims that the company contracted Lil Kim this year and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on recordings, equipment and advance payments.

But later, Kim tried to change the contract and refused to continue recording unless Brookland agreed. The papers state that the rapper has only recorded a few tracks toward a new album by the beginning of September.

Brookland wants the courts to enforce their contract and bar Kim from recording with another label.

When signing a contract both parties have to be in full agreement! Appartently kim wasn't,seem like the record label was tring to get over! If I was kim I wouldn't have continued recording either,espically if im not in total agreement! The judge should release her of her contract! Just like a typical bad employer,if you choose to leave them alone cuz they aiant no good,they try to see to it that nobody else fucks wit you! Man please,that's sum grimey shit,shame on that record label! They must have been tring to cheat kim and get ova,I bet you! No full agreement,no contract! Always read the fine print,cuz that's how shady businesses get over,hoping you don't catch they bullshit! Hopefully the judge willl drop that shit,and release her of all obligations! Big shouts out to lil kim,they always try to get the good ones,hold ya head mah!
