London-based promotors Abstrakt Visions Entertainment are reportedly planning to launch a lawsuit to reclaim a $20,000 fee they claim Lil Kim is refusing to return, despite not playing a series of gigs planned to take place over the last week.

Kim was booked to play six club shows between 7-14 Nov. However, according to TMZ, she got a nosebleed in her hotel room on the night before the first show, and so cancelled them all and flew back to America. As you would.

The rapper's people have reportedly admitted that Kim did indeed suffer a nosebleed, but argue that she decided to pull out of the shows not because of the nose blood, but because of poor planning on the part of Abstrakt. They say she is therefore keeping the fee to cover her travel expenses.
