(LOS ANGELES) - Three-time Billboard Music Award winner Toni Braxton, who said she is starting work on her new album, declined to comment on the lawsuit she filed Friday against her record companies Arista Records and LaFace Records.|

"I can't talk about the suit, but I love those guys very much," she said. "It's just business." Braxton has also put off plans to enter the film business, playing a role in "The Frankie Lymon Story." "I couldn't do it because of scheduling, but I would have loved to have done it," she said.
