Foxy and Kim Being Sued

Fox Boogie and Lil Kim are being sued by Simon & Schuster in Manhattan Supreme Court for failing to deliver manuscripts for books they were supposed to have written years ago.

"Both books were long overdue and never delivered," said company spokesman Adam Rothberg.

Lil' Kim, real name Kimberly Jones, signed a deal to write an untitled novel in 2003. The manuscript was supposed to be done by June 30, 2004, but she still hasn't turned one in, despite pocketing a $40,000 advance.

Foxy, real name Inga Marchand, was supposed to have "an acceptable manuscript" done by Feb. 1, 2006, and still hasn't gotten it done, despite being paid a $75,000 advance.

Foxy Brown Says Jay Z Abandoned Her

Fox Boogie got in XXL and blasted Jay Z for not "saving her life". Wanna read it? Here it go [as transcribed by Fresh from C&D]:

“A lot of things have happened over the years between Jay and I,” she says of the man who signed her to a multimillion-dollar deal at Def Jam in 2005, nine years after their classic duet “Ain’t No Nigga” gave him his first radio hit.

“But there’s an unbreakable bond that will never die. 50 wanted me to be part of his team so bad. He was like, ‘Look, I’ll do it with Jay, half and half.’ And, of course, Jay said no. At one point, 50 asked, ‘Why do you have so much loyalty to this Nigga?’ Jay and I have history. There are things that he could have done better, as far as his loyalty to me, and I’m sure I’ve made mistakes that he felt he could’ve prevented.” Foxy chokes up. “When I lost my hearing, Jay gave me the respect to go heal myself. He stuck with me along the way. But there are times when I just really needed him, and it wasn’t even about Foxy Brown and Jay-Z. It was just like, ‘I need you to help me save my life,’ and he just wasn’t there.”

The tears are streaming down her cheeks. “I would never denounce him in public. That’s just how I feel. But I’ve been incarcerated for eight months, and Jay’s been everywhere, and he hasn’t mentioned one thing about, ‘Tell her I love her. Tell her to be strong.’ That broke my heart more than anything. When they sent me to jail, I just knew he would be there-everyone came. But he never showed up… My mother always says, Jay also said this, in the tru life freestyle ‘Inga, when a person shows you who they are, believe them. Been showing me all through the years and you just don’t wanna believe it.’"

50 Cent Suing Taco Bell

50 Cent is suing Taco Bell for planting a fake story about him changing his name for a Taco Bell promotion. According to the suit, Taco Bell parlayed a media stunt into an ad campaign. 50's lawyers are accusing Taco Bell of false advertising by circulating a letter addressed to 50 asking him to "change his name for one day from '50 Cent' to '79 Cent,' '89 Cent' or '99 Cent.' "
"After Taco Bell drafted the letter, it did not send it to [50 Cent]. Instead Taco Bell released it to the national press," his lawyers wrote. The letter was designed to promote the company's "79-89-99 Cent Why Pay More" campaign, while avoiding the multimillion dollar fee the rapper might have charged to use his name, the lawsuit claims.
