Rapper Who Battled The Notorious B.I.G. In 1994 Sues Filmmakers For $20 Million

[Rahim]

A rapper who freestyle battled the late Notorious B.I.G. 14 years ago has sued filmmakers of a documentary using the footage for $20 million.

According to the New York Post, William Troy McClune, who rapped under the moniker Supreme, filed the suit against Rugged Entertainment last week, claiming they didn't have his permission to use the footage for their 2007 film Notorious B.I.G. Bigger Than Life.

He says the footage from the two rappers' 1994 battle showed him in a negative light, and as a result he's suffered "irreparable harm, mental distress and disturbance of his peace of mind."

"Freestyle rap battles were used as a tool to either establish one's self or ruin another's reputation in the community," McClune's lawsuit explained.

Neither McClune nor reps for the filmmakers could be reached for comment at press time.
