The Associated Press reported that Lil’ Kim and 50 cent are named in a new lawsuit filed by a record producer. Carlos Evans claims in papers recently filed in a New York court that he was contracted to produce, engineer and mix Kim’s “Magic Stick” (featuring 50 Cent), a song that sold 2 million copies, but that he wasn’t paid the royalties he was promised.
He adds that while he was paid the $7,500 advance he was guaranteed for the song, his requests for a royalties audit have been ignored. His suit seeks $1 million in compensatory damages and $1 million in punitive damages.
Theodore Sedlmayr, a lawyer for Rotten Apple Records — which is also named in the suit — told the AP that the late-royalty problems stem from the fact that Evans put a lengthy sample, which had to be licensed and paid for, in the song. “Atlantic is trying to get it straightened out. If after the accounting Mr. Evans is entitled to anything, he’ll get it then,” Sedlmayr told the news service.

1 mill in punitive damages?! thats a little too much. thats like what people recieve when someone murders their family member or somethin, not for neglect of royalty pay.
