Lil' Kim's representative respond to bounced video check allegations that a Washington based film company was never paid for work on a yet-to-be released video from her album.
10th October 2005
A representative for Lil' Kim has responded to allegations that a Washington based film company was never paid for work on a yet-to-be released video from her album, The Naked Truth.
Kim, who is serving 366 days for lying to a federal grand jury about a 2001 broad-daylight shootout, worked with May 3rd Films before going to prison.
Reports surfaced that almost 50 people were never paid for their labor and that over 18 checks bounced, forcing some of the producers to threaten legal action.
"Any reports of Lil' Kim personally bouncing checks are untrue," a rep for Lil' Kim said. "Atlantic Records on behalf of Lil' Kim have fulfilled their financial obligations to Kirk Fraser and May 3rd Films to date."
May 3rd Films owner Kirk Fraser reportedly promised to pay workers in September, after The New York Daily News reported that the checks were bouncing.
Lil' Kim's handlers further distanced themselves from the fiasco in the statement.
"Money owed by Fraser or his company to pay its staff is not Lil' Kim's responsibility," the rep continued. "Upon being made aware of this incident, she has expressed deep concern about the situation. Lil' Kim thanks everyone who was involved in the project for their hard work and hopes that May 3rd Films will work quickly to resolve this urgent matter."
