Last month, the singer was sued for over $1 million for unreleased Biggie Smalls videos.
It’s all over private home videos of Christopher Wallace — videos that a company called Kaushi Entertainment wanted to use in a documentary. In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in L.A. County Superior Court, Kaushi claims they struck a deal, approved by Faith Evans, in which they would fork over $30k for all of the movies. Kaushi claims they paid up — but Faith Evans, along with several associates, never handed over the goods. Long story short — Kaushi claims they got screwed and want more than $1,000,000 to make things right. (TMZ)
