Rapper Lil Kim has filed a $1 million lawsuit against her attorney over a licensing deal.

The "Lady Marmalade" hitmaker alleges Sunny Barkats and his partner Andrew Ro tricked her into signing over nearly half of her earnings from branding and licensing transactions.

Lil' Kim alleges she became aware of the deal in December and claims Barkats refused to rescind the contract, according to the New York Daily News.

Barkats has fired back at the lawsuit, claiming the legal action is a "frivolous" attempt by the star to back out of the agreement.
