Lil' Kim Unhappy with 'Notorious' Film Portrayal

Rapper Lil' Kim is speaking out about her discontent with the 'Notorious' biopic chronicling the life of friend and lover Notorious B.I.G. The film, which hits theaters in two weeks, shows the relationship between the rapper and Biggie as being very different from that of the one with his wife, singer Faith Evans.

Kim blames Biggie's mother, Voletta Wallace, and Evans for what she sees as an inaccurate depiction. "I've had enough and I'm about to expose them both ... I've been quiet for a long time," Kim said in an interview. "I'm very disappointed in Faith," she said. "There's nothing Faith or Ms. Wallace could do to stop me from reppin' B.I.G. all day. I'm [going to] always do that... It's time for Ms. Wallace to be exposed."

Former girl group member Naturi Naughton plays Kim in the film and acknowledged that she was not able to speak with Kim personally regarding the role. "I worked really had to capture the essence without having her at my side to help me," Naughton told the BoomBox. "I was intimidated by how she seemed secondary in Big's life...always being rejected. The emotions that it took to go there [were] really tough," she said.



To prepare for the role Naughton spent time in Kim's old Brooklyn neighborhood and talked to her friend, rapper Lil Cease and other members of the Junior Mafia group, which Kim was a member of.

After seeing the film in full length at a private screening last month, Ms. Wallace said that the most surprising scenes to watch were those between her son and Lil' Kim. "His relationship with Kim -- Lil Kim -- that was....oh God! The profanity, it was shocking," she said.

Both Wallace, Evans and Sean "Diddy" Combs all served as producers on the film while Kim's role was non-existent. 'Notorious' hits theaters January 16.

In my opinion, Lil Kim has the right to voice her side of the story because she was an intrical part of the whole Biggie era. I mean a major player! I'd rather Faith and Ms. wallace disapprove of doing a Biggie film if their intention is to depict him different from what he was. This is a movie of one of the most historic rappers ever, I can only hope it's a testimony to what really went down. If I want to go see a fiction flick, I'll pop in Independence Day again. I'm curious as to what Kim has to say, but I hope her motive is not to rip Faith and Ms. Wallace apart, but rather to shed some truth and insight on how her and Big got down!

Hey Sinnamonbun

Everyone is blaming Kim for being with Big, but obviously he wanted to be with her on some level even if it was just for sex. Yes Faith was his wife, but she stayed with him knowing what he was doing with Kim, so what does that make her? Also we can all speculate (like I'm doing right now), but since we don't know anyone of these people from a hole in a wall, none of us really knows the deal. People are going to show you what they want you to see and not what's real, and I don't think that this movie is going to show us what "REALLY" happened at all.

Why they got B.I.G looking like he's ready to do a Bill Cosby inpersonation.

I got love for Lil Kim and i definately respect her hustle but I got to call it like I see it: basically Ol' Girl got played...and I don't mean in this lame ass movie either. She fell for somebody who pretty much strung her along. Do I doubt that Biggie had any love towards her? Not at all. But I can almost bet my life that it was no where near as deep as her love for him. Bottom line BIG had game. Can't deny that. Life lesson here: No matter how much your married lover seems to be down for you, how much shit he/she buys you, or how many platinum hits they write for you- I'm just saying- if their ass die the widow/widower will always get last say. That's just one of the prices you may have to pay when you decide to start piping a married person. Sorry.

Note to Kim: Being in love and Having love for somebody are two different things. I think your man showed who he was really in love with when he walked her down the aisle then knocked her up.

And to this bullshit: "I was intimidated by how she seemed secondary in Big's life...always being rejected. The emotions that it took to go there [were] really tough,"
Shut up.
Sweety she was his mistress, she was supposed to be secondary.

Damn, bad wigs, fake ass moles, crotch shots, and identity crises- yeah I could see how that would take some true emotional depth to portray.

If you're going to throw stones, I suggest you make sure you're not living in a glass house yourself first.

I have got to jump in here. I know this story is about Lil Kim but I need to know something. They call this movie "the event of our time". How can that be? how long was this fat guys career? Maybe a week? Please.....They talk like this guy was the greatest. I think he was a flash in the pan.

Yea, this is stupid. I will never understand the audacity of females who mess around with other women's husbands/boyfriends and expect to get props for it. No matter what the couple may be going through, it doesnt give you hoes the right to be with them while they are still in a relationship...speaking from personal experience, i know exactly how Faith feels. My boyfriend of five years was killed right after he confessed to cheating on me and possibly getting anoher girl pregnant. Then i get this B***h wanting to be in the obituary and a part of the arrangements and his family but refusing to take a DNA test...bullsh*t. anyway..Lil Kim needs to get over it. She will NEVER be wifey and no matter what BIG may have told her she will always be just the mistress. he may have had love for her, only he and God know but there is no poont in her attacking his mother and widow.
