Lil’ Kim litigates

Lil’ Kim, the hip hop performer sentenced to a year and a day in prison on July 6 for perjury before a federal grand jury, filed a $6 million civil lawsuit last week charging one of the men who testified against her with preparing to market a DVD that uses her name without authorization.

Lil’ Kim, 30, whose real name is Kimberly Jones, is suing James Lloyd, known as Lil’ Cease, in federal court in connection with his issuing “The Chronicles of Junior M.A.F.I.A. Part II: Reloaded,” a DVD that she says improperly uses her name and image.

Lloyd gave damaging testimony against Kim at her perjury trial in connection with the 2003 grand jury probe of the February 2001 shoot-out between rival hip hop groups in front of HOT 97 radio at 395 Hudson St.

Kim’s civil suit filed Mon. July 18 says Lloyd has publicly announced that the DVD would include interviews with him and other members of Junior M.A.F.I.A. explaining their involvement in Kim’s perjury trial.

Kim is to begin her perjury conviction sentence in September.

In related news, Damion Butler, Lil’ Kim’s former manager, received a 3 1/2-year prison sentence from a federal court judge on Mon. July 25 after a plea of guilty to charges of illegal possession of a weapon arising from the February 2001 shoot-out in front of 395 Hudson St. Butler also pleaded guilty to illegally transporting a weapon across state lines and to passport fraud.
