Simon & Schuster Sues Foxy Brown and Lil Kim

Wendy Aron, 07.25.2008, 11:24 AM

(EZ-Tracks) - A major New York publishing company is suing Foxy Brown and Lil Kim for advance money on books that were promised, but never delivered, according to an Associated Press report. Simon & Schuster Inc. says Brown was paid $75,000 in 2005 to deliver an autobiography called "Broken Silence" by February 2006; and Lil' Kim was paid $40,000 in 2003 for a novel due June 2004. Now the company wants both advances back. After signing the deals, both women went to jail for several months. Lil' Kim was imprisoned in 2005 for lying about a shooting, and Brown in 2007 for violating probation arising from a fight with two manicurists. Both of the respective rappers’ attorneys refused to comment on the situation. A spokesperson for Simon & Schuster said that since 2007, the publishing house has successfully partnered with other rappers, including 50 Cent, to release popular books.

Does anybody really want to read a whole book about these chicks anyway? I don’t think so!
