MC Hammer Sued

A publishing giant is suing famously broke rapper MC Hammer for a $61,000 advance it paid him for a book he never wrote.

Simon & Schuster is suing to recover the $61,000 advance it paid in 2002 to former rapper MC Hammer to write a book called "Enemies of the Father: A Message from the Heart On Being a Family Man."

According to the publisher, Hammer never received a manuscript and canceled the contract in 2004, but Hammer didn't return the money.

Good luck recovering that, Simon & Schuster.

Hammer, was top of the music charts in the early '90s. He filed for bankruptcy in 1996 after losing million on all sorts of negrodian expenditures - 17 cars, including a Lamborghini, a stretch limousine, a Range Rover, and a De Lorean; Two helicopters; a Boeing 727; 300-person entourage; 2 swimming pools.

His response to the lawsuit:
"It was for a book we were working on six years ago, and now I'm going another direction. The lawyers will settle it and it's on to the next thing. I wish them the best."

In essence he tells the publisher: "you can't touch this."

Definitely sounds like a man with no worry.
