Don't Mess Wit QUEEN BEE...



...Well apparently. It's not secret that all were in attendance for the NOTORIOUS movie premiere. All but one very distinct and important person: Lil' Kim. Recently, Kim has been speaking out in the media about her dislike of the film, and how the characters were portrayed incorrectly. She's mad at the poor casting choices (and I totally agree, I mean, Naturi Naughton as Lil' Kim? Gimmie a break)... MTV News has more on the situation at hand:

The Queen recently came out publicly and stated she is not in support of the film and blames Big's mother, Voletta Wallace, and his widow, singer Faith Evans, for what she calls a negative portrayal.

"I've had enough and I'm about to expose them both. ... I've been quiet for a long time," Kim was quoted as saying by Hip-Hop Weekly. "I'm very disappointed in Faith. There's nothing Faith or Ms. Wallace could do to stop me from reppin' B.I.G. all day. I'm gonna always do that. ... It's time for Ms. Wallace to be exposed.

"I was not involved in the movie," she continued. "[The filmmakers] never came and asked me anything about Biggie, but again, this was Faith and Ms. Wallace's movie," Kim told the tabloid about her thoughts on the biopic. "I couldn't believe it. I was outraged," adding that she thought Naturi Naughton was a bad choice to play her and that Jamal Woolard was a poor choice to portray Big.


I can't lie. I agree with most of what Kim said, except I'm not so sure why or how she could really have beef with the man's mother. I don't get how Voletta Wallace fits in to this beef, but I'm sure time will reveal... The casting choice was certainly poor. Naturi is NOT Lil' Kim nor will she ever be. Even homegirl from Player's Club would have done a better job. And wouldn't Gorilla Zoe be the obvious choice for BIG? SMH... Faith was asked about how she felt in response to Kim's outbursts in Hip Hop Weekly Magazine. Faith had the following to say:

I try my best not to think about it," Evans told MTV News on Thursday afternoon (January 8) about Kim's recent quotes. "It's kinda sad."
Evans said the magazine informed her of the quotes. "I got four kids, and I definitely don't have time for this type of sh--," she noted. "It's just sad. I don't know Kim's story like that. The part of my life that she was a part of, that what was in my book. This movie is not relative to my book other than that there are certain things in there. This is not my movie. I didn't write the script. Any characters in the film had to agree for their life rights to be in the movie. I don't think I would have signed anything had I felt I was not portrayed properly. I think she had the opportunity to do that. I could be mistaken. I wasn't there....I think that beyond myself, Ms. Wallace or whoever else she wants to blame, everyone who was around Big at that time has had some things to say about [her relationship with Biggie] in order for Cheo to even write the book. He interviewed pretty much all of us. She's sadly mistaken. I'm aware of what she has to say, and that's fine. I don't know what to say. God bless her."


Hmmmm, interesting, isn't it? We will just have to see how this all plays out in the coming weeks, but I do know this: Kim might be an itty bitty lil thing-- but I DAMN sure wouldn't wanna mess with her. This lady is gully, she'll lie in court, duck and dodge the long arm of the law and do whatever else it is she has to do to "stay down". All y'all could miss me with any of that level of drama... I'm good. Kim hold ya head girl, your fans are definitely feeling you. As for Faith and Ms. Wallace, I don't knock em either-- my real beef is with the casting director of "Notorious". SMH.
