Former Junior Mafia members Lil’ Kim and Lil’ Cease continued their battle over a tell-all DVD about Lil’ Kim’s perjury trial yesterday (Oct. 5) in court.
Lawyers for Lil’ Kim have been given until next Wednesday to convince a New York judge that former group member Lil’ Cease should not release "The Chronicles of Junior Mafia Part II: Reloaded," which features the Junior Mafia’s version of incidents in Lil’ Kim’s perjury trial.
Lil’ Kim was found guilty of lying about her knowledge of a broad daylight shootout in 2001 in front on Hot 97 in New York that left one man wounded.
She is currently serving 366 days in a Philadelphia prison lying to a federal grand jury about the shooting, which grew out of a heated rivalry between her entourage and men associated with rapper's Capone-N-Noreaga.
The incident grew from a rivalry with rapper Foxy Brown, who had released "Bang Bang" dissing Lil' Kim on CNN's album The Reunion.
"It's about the whole Kim case, all the mixed words going out about [how] we told [on her] and this and that," Cease explained to AllHipHop.com as the DVD was being planned.
In July of 2005, Lil’ Kim filed a lawsuit in Manhattan's U.S. District Court seeking $6 million dollars in damages from her former band member.
She was granted an injunction blocking Cease from releasing the DVD.
Lawyers for Lil’ Cease stood before Federal Judge Jed S. Rakoff yesterday and argued that the DVD has removed references to Lil’ Kim from the cover.
Cease’s lawyers also said the DVD has news value and is a documentary. Rakoff said he would OK the DVD’s release unless Lil’ Kim’s lawyers could provide new evidence by October 12.
Lil’ Kim’s album The Naked Truth hit stores Sept. 27 and debuted at #6 on Billboard’s Top 200 Album’s Chart.
