Faith Evans Sued Over Notorious B.I.G Home Footage

Faith Evans is at the head of a lawsuit from a documentary filmmaker that claims the R&B singer failed to distribute private home videos purchased of her late husband and rapper Notorious B.I.G.

According to a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Kaushi Entertainment claims they paid $30,000 for home footage of Biggie -- real name is Christopher Wallace. The exchange was approved in written statements by Evans and other associates of the late rapper's estate. Executives at Kaushi say that although they paid-up, they never received the tapes and are now suing for $1 million dollars in punitive damages for breach of contract.

The Notorious B.I.G and Faith Evans were married in 1994 after meeting at a photo shoot. They had one son together, Christopher Wallace, Jr. in 1996. The couple had a turbulent marriage that led to Faith being at the center of an East Coast-West Coast feud that ended in Wallace's murder in 1997.

In related news, Evans is currently recording material for her highly anticipated sixth album. She also has a new reality series in the works, 'It's All About Faith,' that chronicles her return to the music scene after a five-year hiatus.

Finally,Some REAL talent!!! Can't wait till her new CD. When you have REAL talent you don't have to " suck the right rapper and record producers dicks". We need more singers like her,but because they don't "look the part"...and as for her reality show,it can't be any worse than "Frank the Entertainer",or "The Bad Girls Club"!

Most people have never heard Faith sing. I had the joy of going to a concert several years ago. Not only can she sing she was very hard on herself as a performer because she didn't think she sounded well due to an equipment problem. At the end of the day this woman did lose her husband to a violent death. The end. However, she is obligated to a contractual agreement. Although, receiving $30,000 dollars should not constitute having to pay out $1,000,000. Not quite fair by anyone's standards.

Race always comes up, shes black been through alot,
Blacks and whites do any of you know what they have in common? both races were slaves, blacks were slaves what ,80 years plus? whites were slaves for hundreds of years if not more, Spanish, German, english, dutch and even russians were made slaves by Rome and Greese, Ethiophia which was a black country at the time sold many white slaves and bought and traded white slaves. Greece was another one who had white slaves for hundreds of years, Blacks offen traded with Greece with slaves.....
So you see were not all that different, Just like Jews being killed in death camps Hitler did not even come close to the jews that Rome killed, but you never hear about that. we all want to live and be happy, but who is stopping us? Congress and the senate, there are the people that are keeping us all down.....One more thing, Abe Lincoln, You know why he really freed the slaves? ..To cripple the south, set them free and the south had know one taking care of crops and other things to fight the war...true...and when the slaves went North they were bullshited into fighting for the north, because if you do not and we lose you will be slaves again.....make sense??? its true...Abe was really no friend to the black man........

Finally someone with some insite to the world of slavery and race! Your comment was very well put together and obviously educated as well. Black and White people seem only to see the skin color diffrence, yet what they need to see is their common situations throughout history!

I was wonder what brought the author to make that statement too . . . I wish people would do their homework before writing articles. Faith had nothing to do with the fued or Biggie's death. She was a component in the fued between Biggie and Tupac because Tupac put her in it . . .

Why do people get so upset over this bullshit? Are you getting any of the money? I mean....Really?! Faith Evans has no idea that any of you exist and she sure as hell isn't giving any of her money to you. Direct your passion somewhere else. Instead of wasting that passion on putting each other down and making inappropriate comments to each other move on. I'm sure you are both better then this.

Mmmm, to the AUTHOR of this article.
She was not the "center" of the east vs. west coast feud.

Why would you write that?
Where is your journalistic integrity?

So we are raciest if we deny her the "freedom" of getting out of a contractual agreement?Wow! I have heard it all,now.If she WERE white, would you have defended her as being bullied by the big black company who wants their promised property.Her voice is not too bad for a piano bar setting, or church choir, but to be put on the pedestal you have her on, is doubtful at the very least.
