Rappers Foxy Brown and Lil Kim Gets Sued

The rappers Foxy Brown and Lil Kim are being used by a New York publisher, named Simon &Schuster Inc., which stated that they paid advances for books that were never delivered.

Lil Kim was paid $40,000 for a book to be delivered by June of 2004.

The publisher wants its money back through the two separate lawsuits that were filed on Thursday. After signing the deals, both women spent time imprisoned.

Foxy Brown’s Travel Plea Denied

A New York judge has denied the rapper Foxy Brown’s request to get out of jail early so that she could go to California to get her ear examined and get her electronic ear implant repaired.

In her petition to the judge, she stated that her hearing condition was getting worse in jail and that it would get seriously worse unless she had the cochlear implant reprogrammed and repaired. She could get treatment in New York, but her attorneys say that she needs to be treated by specialists at House Clinic in California.
