William 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.

what a duchebag
20 mil? Damn the economy is really hittin these broke ass niggaz,…they thinkin hard on means to make that Money, shiiiiiiiiit,…..I bet you his punk ass wouldn’t have said shit if he won that battle,…sorry sonny, words is borne BIG bodied you, take like a man. Plus ain’t no way this dude will get 20 mil, what Judge will award him that kind of money for some dumbness?…what is son smocking b? Next thing you’ll Hear Freeway suing Cass & Swiss b/c that footage of him getting Murdered was released w/ out his approval,….This shit wont see the inside of a court room, Judge Judy will knock this out the park in one take w/ out a damn Commercial NEXT!…Nigga you too an L fall back!
he's not really expecting 20 mil he's hoping they try to settle for a couple hundred thousand maybe a mil if he has really good luck...it's like going in a store downtown brooklyn trying to cop kicks dat cost 180 and saying all u got is 150, u know he not gonna take dat but u wanna see how far he might knock it off for u...bottom line he's an assshole but hey dats how da rich people do it, they look for any reason to sue people
and he will win.. not all 20million but some.. its the way our judical system works... well of course depending on the lawyer
Ain’t no way he will win this shit, the footage has no impacted him in any negative way, ain’t nobody was checkin for him then & nobody checkin for him now. I mean son ain’t even out,…The lawyer that took his case just rapped him for his Gwap, but we knows deep down he catching an L.
His dumb ass just put him self in dept, cuz we all know he ain’t got crazy Lawyer Gwap
exactly, u get a good lawyer who know his shit, u could sue a nigga cause his dog barked... real shit.... r some dumb shit like "he chew funny and it caused me distress at the restaurant we was at" real minor shit but u might get paid
Man yall, Don't this situation sound a little TOO familiar?
Let me take yall back...
"Ezel: Aaaa! My neck! My back! My neck and my back! I want a hundred a fifty thousand, but we can settle out of court right now for twenty bucks."
Muh-fuckas'll do ANYTHING for that BREAD....lol
But on the real tho, This movie is going to be BIG as hell and do BIG numbers in the theatres... I woulda been happy just to even be MENTIONED in that muthafucka, and this dude is actually IN the fuckin movie.........That would/SHOULD be payment enough...
But I feel where he comin from tho, I'm tired of Puffy raping people and gettin rich off 'em....
RAPING YOU RECORDS>>>RAPIN YOU, RAPIN YOU, RAPIN YOU.....
lol
lmao that lox skit was funny ass hell^^^ props
supreme soundin like a white bitch right now
wow everyone out 2 get they own ..... sumone smack that dood in the face
Dats How it goes in da hood sometimes!!!
this is pathetic. how the hell you gonna get mad because you appear in a movie without permission? he just trying to get quick money period.
Any one kno if this is the same supreme that 50 has beef wit and snitched on supposedly????
why fuck up a such a good and real movie man
i would be fuckin honored to be in a movie with B.I.G. even if i get killed in a rap battle he was only one of the greatest rappers ever...this dude is a lil bitch nigga fuck you troy mccune you prolly fucked up the movie now
He gon lose all the money he gon gain by pulling a stupid stunt like dis, I feel sorry 4 him. Learn it.
ReDef.
He just wants the money
Greedy ass bastard
BIG the GOAT
Shame
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?
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.
wait what the fuck? did they say documentary? nigga shut the hell up you stupid as hell why doesnt everybody just start suing for those beef videos damn why doesnt everybody in the audience start suing when they appear unauthorized in documentaries nigga shut the hell up.
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.!
hes a bitch
word this guy is a bitch nigga shouldve been kissin biggies feet in the movie but he was lucky enough to battle and be on stage with the greatest rapper ever
20 mil go a long way in the feds. lol. i bet 50 laughin like hell about this. RIP BIG
This dumb fuck should be proud he was battling Big. How many people can say that. He's just a silly ass broke fuck trying to get paid.
he a ass hole
he just mad BIG ate his ass up
niggas say crazy shyt for money
