The producers of a documentary about late rapper the Notorious B.I.G. have been hit with a $5 million dollar lawsuit from an NY rapper.

William Troy McCune, who was a rapper in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s claims that the producers of Notorious B.I.G.: Bigger Than Life used video footage in the documentary of him battling Biggie without first seeking his permission.

“This segment of the Plaintiff (William Troy McCune) and Christopher Wallace (The Notorious B.I.G.) is shown throughout the video and is a dominant feature in the extras portion,” the suit says. “The use of the photograph, image, and likeness of the Plaintiff, in the video by the Defendants, jointly and severally, and acting in active concert was unauthorized.”

Director Peter Spirer is named in the lawsuit along with Rugged Entertainment, the journalist Dream Hampton and production company Aslan Productions.

Notorious B.I.G.: Bigger Than Life was released in August of 2007 and was the first film to include details about the infamous confrontation between B.I.G. and fellow rapper E-40.

It also featured interviews with E-40 as well as Easy Mo Bee and Wu-Tang Clan’s Method Man.
