*Legendary rapper/actress MC Lyte now has a problem on her hands with an artist she hooked up with for a project, but she never compensated him. Now she is being fitted for a lawsuit.
The artist, Christopher Smith, claims in legal docs that he was hired as an artist, animator and writer on a project for MC Lyte’s entertainment management and production firm, Sunni Gyrl. That’s all and good, but of course, the problem is that he never got paid for his 1,228 hours on the job. He claims he’s owed a total of $38,375.
In the docs, Smith claims after he was let go from the project, MC Lyte and her biz partner Lynn Richardson sent him a check for $11,250 … but he says it bounced, reports TMZ.
And there’s this. Smith also claims the parties originally entered a settlement agreement for the unpaid wages but, when that check bounced, they filed suit.
So far, MC Lyte has not commented on the situation.
