NEW YORK - A New York publisher is suing rappers Foxy Brown and Lil' Kim, saying they were paid advances for books they never delivered.
Simon & Schuster Inc. says Brown was paid $75,000 in 2005 to deliver an autobiography called "Broken Silence" by February 2006 while Lil' Kim was paid $40,000 in 2003 for a novel due June 2004. The publisher wants its money back through the two lawsuits filed Thursday.
After signing the book deals, both women were imprisoned for several months. Lil' Kim went to prison in 2005 for lying about a shooting. Brown was locked up in 2007 for violating probation arising from a fight with two manicurists.
Brown's lawyer says she has not seen the lawsuit and can't comment. Lil' Kim's lawyer didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.
