Filmakers Sued For Freestyle Battle Against Notorious B.I.G.

In some more lawsuit foolishness, some dude is suing the filmakers of the 2007 film, "Notorious B.I.G.: Bigger Than Life", for $20 mil for using footage from the freestyle battle where dude had his ass handed to him by Biggie.

In a Federal lawsuit, William Troy McCune (who goes by the rap name Supreme) says he suffered "irreparable harm, mental distress, and disturbance of his peace of mind. Serious dude? After 14 years, NOW you want to sue? McCune says the stress isn't over getting his ass handed to him in the battle, but because the movie used the video without his permission.

LMAO!!! I'm sorry for laughing but c'mon now. I do understand the concept of the folks not getting his permission, but is it worth $20 mil? I don't even thing the makers of the movie made that much off of it.
