Defsounds

Rappers Foxy Brown and Lil' Kim are being sued, separately, by Simon and Schuster, Inc. for failing to complete their end in a book deal. The end to be completed was actually writing a book. They were given their advance money, but didn't fulfill their obligations.

Foxy was allegedly given $75,000 in 2005 for an exclusive autobiography titled Broken Silence that was scheduled for completion by Feb 2006. Lil Kim was given $40,000 in 2003 for a novel due by June ’04.

Both women were sentenced to jail shortly after the deals. Lil' Kim went to prison in 2005 for lying about a shooting. Brown was locked up in 2007 for violating probation arising from a fight with two manicurists. Attorneys for both did not comment on the lawsuit as of press time.
