When Big Pun passed away on February, 7, 2000 he was just starting to fulfill his enormous potential. His 1998 debut album entitled Capital Punishment had taken the rap world by storm. Eventually becoming the first solo album by a Latino rapper to go platinum. His follow up CD, Yeeeah Baby, was released just shy of two months after his death. It has been certified gold.
Pun's widow Liza Rios has filed a lawsuit against her husband's friend and former business partner, Fat Joe, alleging he's cheated her out of money, per an agreement with Pun.
Rios claims that half of the royalties from her husbands album's, including the posthumous LP Endangered Species, were supposed to go to her in Pun's absence. After 2005, Rios says Joe stopped paying.
According to TMZ, Rios knows Pun's album's are still raking in money and she wants her share. She's seeking more than $1 million.
