Lil Kim doesn’t like Biggie film
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 14 January 2009
Lil Kim doesn’t like the way she’s been portrayed in the new Biggie Smalls biopic ‘Notorious’, so much so that she’s released a statement protesting about the producers’ depiction of her.
The rapper claims: “The film studio and producers involved were more concerned about painting me as a ‘character’ to create a more interesting story line instead of a person with talent, self-respect and who was able to achieve her own career success through hard work. Even though my relationship with Big was at times very difficult and complicated (as with most relationships we have all experienced at one time or another), it was also genuine and built on great admiration and love for each other”.
She continues: “Regardless of the many lies in the movie and false portrayal of me to help carry a story line through, I will still continue to carry his legacy through my hard work and music.”
Responding unsympathetically to Kim’s feelings on the matter, Biggie’s mother Voletta Wallace said: “This is not a Lil’ Kim movie. This is a Christopher Wallace movie. It has nothing to do with Lil’ Kim. If she’s disappointed and upset, that is her problem”.
