B.I.G. Filmmakers Sued for $20 million

by reign on July 14th, 2008

http://media.defsounds.com/uploads/assets/1778/1796/9197/asset.jpgWilliam Troy McCune, aka 'Supreme', is suing filmmakers for $20 Million in damages for his unauthorized appearance in the 2007 movie "Notorious B.I.G.: Bigger Than Life". The movie , which was a documentary on the late hip-hop great, Notorious BIG, is at the forefront of this lawsuit. McCune claims that he was never contacted or gave permission for the filmmakers to use video footage of him in a freestyle battle on the street in Brooklyn. In the lawsuit he states that he suffered "irreparable harm, mental distress, and disturbance of his peace of mind".

And although the battle happened over 14 years ago and shows BIG getting the better of him, McCune says that's not the reason for the lawsuit. He claims his suit is soley based on the fact that the production company used that video without his permission.

Right? I don’t what the hell William “Supreme” McCune is mad at. Being in BIG’s movie will only increase his fame. He’s lucky that he’s even mentioned in the same sentence as Biggie.

Also 20 mill? Be for real man, 20 mill? Dudes are starting to act like gold digging hoes.

hell i know he just wants some money but if you gon put a video of me in your movie i would wanna get paid for it too. and if they didnt approach him about the video in the first place then i doubt they were plannin on payin him. how else is he gonn get paid for the movie?
replyReply | 1 props | propProp | trashTrash
justathoughtabout 1 year ago
but his approach is all wrong. you dont get 20 mil for emotional stress thats bullshit. thats a rediculous price to ask if your suing for emotional stress and peace of mind. now if your suing them for makin 20 mil of you without your permission then yea you have a good case but i doubt his small peice of footage was worth 20 mil or even a mil by itself. honestly if you put a clip of me in you movie i wanna at least hear about it first whether your offering a price or not but 20 mil is asking for a little too much and i doubt a judge will even take the case seriously if your asking for such a high amount, but stranger things have happened.

dude is dumb.

it is just like he is an extra in a movie, they don’t get paid shit.

to the dude that said its like b.i.g caused him mental distress is completely right! ha, b.i.g destroyed him so bad he can’t think stright years later… it’s like post dramatic stress disorder, dude is seein and hearing b.i.g’s voice everytime he blinks cause he got put in his place that badly.

i could see maybe like someone suing cause wayne beat’em in a battle, but b.i.g?! i bet it wasn’t even close… i mean one of the greats against a no-name…

should just be happy he was able to be in the movie…

r.i.p. B.I.G.!
