Lil Kim has filed a lawsuit against her ex-boyfriend and the father of her daughter, rapper Mr. Papers. The suit arrives in the midst of an ongoing custody battle over their daughter Royal Reign, who turned one last month. According to Bossip, Papers, whose given name is Jeremy Neil, filed for visitation rights last month, seeking at least one day a week with his daughter in the presence of a court-approved supervisor.
Bossip now reports that Lil Kim was a no-show at a scheduled July 9 custody hearing and instead responded by filing her own lawsuit alleging that the 27-year old Neil was abusive during their relationship. Papers' publicist Tasha Hilton told Bossip, "He’s not trying to take custody, he’s not trying to take her. He is literally just trying to see her. He’s been trying to do it very quietly.” Hilton added, "[Lil Kim is] playing really dirty now with the domestic situation. There has never been any domestic violence.”
Papers and Lil Kim are scheduled to appear in front of a family court judge in New Jersey later this week.
