Recording duo sue Lil' Kim in album spat

Grammy-winning hip-hop star Lil’ Kim is being sued by two men who say she failed to pay them for songwriting and performing services for her 2003 CD La Bella Mafia, which sold more than a million copies.

In court papers filed in Manhattan’s state Supreme Court, the men say that Lil’ Kim, whose real name is Kimberly Jones, paid them nothing for their work other than giving each man a piece of jewellery she said was worth €8,000.
