The King Kids Are Fighting Again
First Bernice and Martin III sued their brother Dexter claiming he was mishandling funds from the King Center. Then Dexter sued Martin III claiming his brother had used The King Center without permission to meet with then presidential candidate John Kerry. Now Dexter's filed a suit against Bernice because he wants their mother's personal papers for a 1.4 million dollar book deal he cut, but Bernice is refusing to hand them over, insisting her mother wanted no part of any book deal. Bernice and Martin issued this statement: "We are saddened that we are forced to make public statements about family matters that should be handled privately. However, as our father taught us, we must respond to unjust criticism ... Our stand against the publication of the memoirs of our mother ... is not merely a family feud but rather our ongoing attempt to protect and maintain the integrity of our mother's legacy. Although she is no longer here to speak for herself, it is important that the integrity and validity of her voice be reflected."

Lil Kim is being sued for $2.5 million for breach of contract by her new record label. Brookland Media says Kim signed on with them, then tried to back out of the deal by refusing to perform unless they made some changes to her contract AFTER they'd already sunk $500,000.00 into her project.

Internet Chatter
Wendy Williams says she is in possession of a sex tape showing a married rapper's wife that does not include the rapper and she's willing to sell it to the highest bidder. Ok, shouldn't be too hard to figure this out. How many rappers are married? Jay Z and Beyonce, Nas and Kelis, Snoop and Shante and Ice T and CoCo. However, Wendy does mention in part two of the segment there are no kids involved and that mainstream media does not care, so that leaves only Nas and Kelis or Ice T and Coco.
