Lil Kim Sued by Former Business Manager
Who knew you could get sued for “diva-like behavior” but it’s America and you can sue for just about anything these days. Lil Kim is currently being sued by her former business manager because he claims her diva-like behavior has caused him million and millions of dollars in endorsement deals. You read that right, millions and millions of dollars! Not just millions, but millions and millions! That means millions are bringing their other million friends to the party uninvited. You feel me? No? Well, it’s Monday. Forgive me.
Anyway, the manager Andrew Ro (your boat ashore) claims that his company signed a licensing deal with Lil Kim in August of last year and they planned to do some real big things together. They planned on starting a clothing line, vodka drink, perfume line and even an energy drink. However, he claims that Lil Kim screwed that all up. Ro claims that Lil Kim is a “menace” who refused to come to important business meetings unless she was getting paid extra for being there. And even when they managed to get the perfume line off the ground, Kim didn’t promote it. She even stopped returning their calls, at least according to her former manager.
After more trouble and disagreements, Kim sent off a cease and desist letting for her future projects with the company. She then filed a lawsuit in which she claimed the IRS tricked her into a bad licensing deal. Which leads us to Ro filing his own lawsuit against Lil Kim. He’s asking for at least $15 million, claiming Lil Kim was the reason behind the failed business adventure.
I don’t have any sympathy for this Andrew dude. He’s the one silly enough to plan such big things with Lil Kim. He should have known that you shouldn’t plan big things with a person who has “Lil” in their name.
