How can a man have beef with a woman? Whatever, that's just not cool.
It was a very emotional dinner, ... Everyone shared personal stories about her and gave her words of encouragement and inspiration. Everyone tried to remain positive.
A lot of people let me down, ... A lot of people I thought were my friends turned on me.
It's been nonstop since the day I found out, ... I knew when the verdict came down and then the sentencing, that I didn't have any time to play around. I had to get the album done, and all the other things in my life settled quickly. I'd never done an album so fast before, and in a way it was a good thing. The music just kind of rolled out.
You know, she's about to go to the big house, for lying, ... I'd like to place a call to the warden and upgrade your situation.
I like to live righteous. And I just want everyone to know I'm not trying to get out of anything.
The artist I wanna be like is Michael Jackson. I'll get the house with the roller coaster and the rides and a disco, and I'll invite all my friends and just stay at home.
Lil' Kim is my stage name and a character I use when I'm out working my livelihood.
I've always expressed my love for fashion through my music.
Throughout my life, I have always lived with adversity and will continue to have faith and do good for my family, friends and fans.
In the beginning, yes I did go back... (but) I learned that if it's continued abusive, you just can't stay there. When guys are young, they make mistakes. Nobody's perfect, but, if they do it more than once, then it's definitely a habit
I love spending time with my dog, my niece and my family. I'm very family-oriented.
I am honored and quite proud that a class is being taught on my sensationalist lyrics, unique style and fashion and leadership role within the hip-hop community.
My fan mail is what keeps me going.
