Another day, another lawsuit. Remy Ma was hit with a $80 million dollar lawsuit for allegedly shooting her friend in the stomach.
$80 million? Remy having stacks like that is as likely as her wearing a decent weave. It’s not happening.

A representative for Robert Kelly makes a statement on Ne-Yo’s suit against the pied-pedo of R&B:
“The idea that R. Kelly had anything to do with Ne-Yo being dropped from the Double Up tour is just plain silly. As we said at the time, Ne-Yo was dropped because of a contractual dispute with the tour promoter, and in fact Ne-Yo is not suing Kelly but only the promoter. Ne-Yo may think blaming the situation on R. Kelly will improve his chances of collecting from the promoter, but if he does, he is sadly mistaken. Anyone remotely familiar with R. Kelly knows he is confident enough in his own abilities to be happy to share the stage with enormously talented people – the more talented, the better.”
Who really gives a rat’s ass. We’re just anxious to see what will become of R. Kelly after his pedophile trial.

Don’t make Suge Knight choke a ho. While in Vegas recently Suge was getting a lap dance when some dumb cat shouts, “Isn’t that the guy who shot Tupac?” He must not know what Sugar bear is capable of.
In other Marion Knight news:
MARION ‘SUGE’ KNIGHT is urging a Los Angeles judge to dismiss a
$130 million ruling against him, alleging it is fraudulent. The former Death Row Records boss was ordered to make the payout in March 2005 to singer Lydia Harris, after she accused him of forcing her out of a job despite helping to set up the notorious music label with her then-husband Michael ‘Harry-O’ Harris. The case never went to trial, but the ruling was made
after Knight’s attorneys broke various court rules and failed to make the star’s financial records readily available to the prosecution.

Who would have thought that Minister Louis Farrakhan was still taking care of his grown ass 48 year-old son? His old ass is still mooching off his dad now and won’t pay up for an accident he caused back in 2003:
A Gary couple are seeking to collect $350,000 from Farrakhan’s 48-year-old son, who lost a lawsuit after crashing his father’s Hummer into their car in 2003 and leaving the scene. Nasir Farrakhan has yet to pay any of the punitive damages awarded to Charles and Gladys Peterson, though they received $464,000 for their medical expenses from his insurance company. The younger Farrakhan has said he cannot pay because he has no income, has never been employed and has no checking account or savings. He argues the $1,400 in cash he receives from his father each month is legally considered charity, even though Nasir Farrakhan has acted as head of the minister’s 20-man security force for many years.
SMH. Get a job nicca.

Another day, another lawsuit. An Atlanta woman, Jamie Roberts, 24, claims that she was diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder after a random encounter with Damon Dash back in 2004. She is suing Dash for $30,000 and claims that he made her crazy after meeting him in Miami:
The bizarre suit, which Roberts, 24, wrote up herself, says she met Dash at a Miami club that March, where he inexplicably used the name “Jeremy McIntyre” and took her to a nearby marina. There he showed her “his genital area” in an “offensive manner” and tried to force her into performing oral sex, the suit claims. Nine months later, Roberts said she “began to hear defendant’s voice in her ear, giving her certain directions to follow.” The suit says she discovered McIntyre’s true identity in early 2005 “while watching a taping of the “Dave Chapelle Show.”
This sounds like pure comedy. Broads going crazy over some “D” and writing up their own lawsuits. What’s even funnier is that she discovered who he was after watching the “Roca Pads” episode of Chappelle’s Show.
Jeremy McIntyre Damon Dash made a statement on the situation:
“We know nothing about it. It’s quite obvious this is a false allegation.”

Kimora Lee Simmons is being sued by Macy’s:
Kimora Lee Simmons overcharged Macy’s for her beauty products and then refused to pay back the extra profit, according to a lawsuit filed last week in Manhattan Supreme Court. In September 2006, four months after Simmons separated from her multimillionaire husband, Def Jam Records co-founder Russell Simmons, she signed an agreement to provide Macy’s with her line of cosmetics. But then she allegedly jacked up the price of her beauty products. Simmons declined comment.
We can say that we are not surprised that she’s jacking up prices for some mediocre cosmetics. She probably doesn’t even wear that sh*t herself, better yet, she probably doesn’t even let Ming Lee and Aoki play in that stuff and she’s overcharging Macy’s. The nerve of some people.

The young lady who was busted in the head a couple of weeks ago by Da Brat with a bottle of rum is bringing that attorney heat on both Da Brat and Jermaine Dupri’s club Studio 72. Via AHH:

This time it’s New Orleans Saints RB and Kim Kardashian’s ass-grabber Reggie Bush. Bush is being sued for $300,000 he owes from money he and his parents accepted his sophomore and junior years at USC:
A fledgling sports marketer filed a lawsuit Tuesday against former Southern California running back Reggie Bush and his parents that seeks to recoup nearly $300,000 in cash and gifts they allegedly accepted during Bush’s sophomore and junior seasons. The suit, filed in Superior Court, claims Bush and his family received $291,600 in cash, living arrangements and other benefits from Lloyd Lake between November 2004 and January 2006.
“We tried for over a year to resolve this amicably and Bush and his attorney didn’t want to reach any resolution,” said Lake’s attorney, Brian E. Watkins. “They wanted the truth to come out. Now it’s out.”
When will these athletes learn that they need to pay these people back? It’s not like he can’t afford it. A measly 300K? SMH.

Jack Sutton Fine Jewelry in New Orleans is suing Lil’ Wayne for $146,000 he still owes on a $138,000 diamond ring and $32,000 gold-and-diamond necklace purchase:
The handmade platinum ring contains an 11.55 carat, princess-cut diamond surrounded by an additional five carats of invisible set princess diamonds. The 32-inch necklace is draped with ice — four rows deep, 105 carats total weight — in 18 karat white gold. Carter agreed to pay monthly installments, the suit says. Sutton received a $24,000 check on Oct. 12. The next $24,000 check was dated Jan. 18. Sutton deposited it, only to learn a stop payment had been issued. Sutton says he tried to reach Carter, sending e-mails to the artist’s financial advisor. No luck.
”Defendant has breached his oral and written agreement. He spent a lot of money with me. I thought we have a really good relationship. I don’t know what happened, unless it’s a misunderstanding.”
Weezy know he better cough up the dough…when will these cats learn that people will slap a lawsuit on your ass at the drop of a hat. Hopefully he has a good financial advisor, and it’s not just the Birdman’s uncle or play cousin who’s good with numbers handling his money.

Beyonce is being sued for using lyrics that were not her own.
Via Associated Press:
A Minnesota woman who sued Beyonce Knowles alleging the singer illegally used her lyrics on the hit song “Baby Boy” took her case to a federal appeals court Wednesday. Jennifer Armour of Shakopee, Minn., claims Knowles, 26, took the lyrics from her song, “Got a Little Bit of Love for You.” Her lawyer argued that the copyright infringement lawsuit — dismissed by a Houston judge’s summary judgment in favor of Knowles last year — should be heard by a jury. Armour’s lawsuit claims she heard Beyonce performing “Baby Boy” in 2003 “and recognized the hook and some of the lyrics from her song.”
“I do believe it was the heart of my song,” she said after Wednesday’s hearing. “When I first heard it, it hit me.”
Well this isn’t the first time. We didn’t forget that copyright infringement lawsuit from Des’ree back in April when a whole song was jacked completely. We know these “artists” don’t usually write their own songs but damn, at least give a sista some credit. Even the stans know that Beyonce’s songwriting consists of lyrics from tracks like “Bootylicious” and “Check On It”.

New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas (who initially denied allegations back in ’06) and Madison Square Garden were found guilty of sexual harrassment charges.
Via Foxsports.com:
A jury ruled Tuesday that New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas sexually harassed a former top team executive, subjecting her to unwanted advances and a barrage of verbal insults, but also ruled he does not have to pay punitive damages.
The jury did find that Madison Square Garden committed harassment against the woman, and ruled that she is entitled to punitive damages from MSG.
Anucha Browne Sanders characterized Thomas as a foul-mouthed lout who initially berated her as a “bitch” and a “ho” before his anger gave way to ardor, with Thomas making unwanted advances and encouraging her to visit him “off site.”
The case, from its inception, proved a public relations disaster for the Knicks and the Garden, with intense coverage of the three-week trial focusing on its tawdriest aspects — star guard Stephon Marbury having sex with an intern outside a strip club, raunchy come-ons from a Marbury cousin to his Garden co-workers, Thomas’ videotaped remarks about the racial dynamics of calling a woman “a bitch.”
I just feel bad for Isiah’s wife. He better not be calling her a bitch. Maybe he is, we forgot he thinks black on black bitch calling is cool.

Damn, there isn’t a day that goes by where we don’t have to hear this dude’s name. Michael Vick can’t catch no breaks, no wonder he stay chiefin on the reefer. Now there is a 2.3 Million dollar lawsuit against him:
Royal Bank of Canada is suing Vick for more than $2.3 million (U.S.), alleging the suspended NFL star’s recent guilty plea on federal dogfighting charges has caused him to default on a loan. The lawsuit was filed Sept. 20 in U.S. District Court in Newport News, Va. According to court documents, Vick obtained a $2.5 million line of credit from the bank’s Global Private Banking office in New York City in January and drew on that loan to invest in real estate “which is not a primary residence.” The documents provide no other details of that investment but specify the proceeds were not to be used for “personal, family or household purposes.” As of Sept.19, the balance due from Vick was $2,313,694.37, the filings said. Royal Bank is seeking repayment of that amount plus $499 in interest charges per day and legal fees.

TMZ reported yesterday that Dennis “the Worm” Rodman was in trouble with the law again for sexual battery. He is being accused of smacking the rear-end of a bartender so hard that it left a mark.
A rep for the Worm responded:
“That is just another woman trying to extort money out of Dennis, and I am sure the situation will work itself out in Dennis’ favor.”
Who really cares about the bartender and her ass, we just wanted a valid reason to post that pic Dennis Rodman. That dude looks like he is on rocks/E/meth/etc. for real.

50 Cent and Lil Kim are the target of a multi-million dollar lawsuit for not sending checks to the producer of the ‘Magic Stick’:
“It was one of the hottest tracks on that album, and I didn’t collect my royalties,” Evans told the Associated Press. According to 50 Cent’s lawyer Theodore Sedlmayr, the issue is an accounting issue, because Evans used a sample in “Magic Stick.”
Before Kim’s plastic surgery, this producer probably may have accepted a Fu*kin for tracks arrangement.

Lil Wayne, who literally made it “Rain on them Hoes” at a concert at Morgan State University last year is being sued for 1 Million.
A Morgan State University concert-goer has filed a lawsuit alleging that she was knocked to the ground and trampled last year when a large amount of cash was thrown into the crowd during a performance by rapper Lil’ Wayne.
Tyrique Layne, a student at Morgan at the time, filed the lawsuit yesterday in Baltimore Circuit Court, claiming that she required overnight hospitalization as a result of injuries she suffered last October at the concert held at the university. Three women were hurt when the money – mostly $1 bills, but including some $5, $10 and $20 bills – was tossed into the crowd, according to accounts.
What was Lil Wayne thinking? You can’t throw money around broke folks and think they won’t act a fool. Maybe he was trying to donate to the Broke College Student Fund. Next time he should consider writing checks.
