Rapper Trina is being sued for $50 million in damages after she allegedly pulled out of an agreement to appear as a judge for an event called "America's Next Top Rapper." Omnipresent Media and Lawrence "Amar" Wright filed the suit against Trina, her managing agent Rarebreed Entertainment, its principal Josh Burke, the State of Florida and J Ego Entertainment and Nunoise Travel.

The suit claims that Trina agreed to judge the online streaming video platform and competition where aspiring rappers compete to win $20,000, a Universal distribution deal and a "hit production team," among other rewards. Omnipresent hosts the "...Top Rapper" competition, which provides $20,000, a distribution deal and top-shelf production for whomever wins the contest. The company claims that Trina agreed to judge and then backed out of the December 30th, 2011 show. Omnipresent says that its promotions "generated significant traffic on the blogs of major entertainment networks, including BET and MTV."

Omnipresent Media claims that the audience became "unruly" and "heckled competition participants" after she failed to appear.
