Lil' Kim-A Good Role Model Despite Jail Sentence

Rapper Lil' Kim, who started her 366-day prison sentence on Monday, declared she's still a good role model for all her fans, despite her actual condition.

Kim says: "Yes. I mean, I would like to think (it won't make a difference). I can't speak for everyone. There's no way everyone in the world is going to love you. You're not going to please everybody.
I'm sure to my millions and millions of fans, more than half of them think that I am a role model".

Lil' Kim was sentenced two months ago to one year and a day in jail for lying to a federal grand jury about a 2001 shootout outside a Manhattan radio station and fined $50,000.

Her lawyer, L. Londell McMillan, declared that stars like Lil' Kim could be in danger in the detention center.

"Why should a female hip-hop artist have to spend time in an urban concrete jungle while other female prisoners are assigned to rural, suburban-type prison camps?" said McMillan.

"Lil' Kim will be assigned to a female work cadre at the coed prison", McMillan stated, adding she could be out in nine months for good behavior.

Kimberly Denise Jones, professionally known as Lil' Kim (also called The Queen Bee, The Lieutenant, and The Queen Bitch such as the QB of all bitches) is a United States rapper who was born in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of New York City on July 11, 1975. Kim's songs have a reputation for being graphically sexual and explicit.

During her career, Lil' Kim won a Grammy Award - Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals - "Lady Marmalade". She has been also honored for Video of the Year - "Lady Marmalade" and for Best Video From a Film-"Lady Marmalade" at the MTV Video Music Award ceremony.

What's up wit you Kim? You didn't wanna rollover on your peeps so ya lied to the Grand Jury. Dat's cool. So now ya gotta do the time for the crime. Why don't you wanna go to the same kind of jail that your fans are locked up in. You glorify a kind of lifestyle but now you don't wanna live 'dat life that you claim you do to all your gangbanger fans? Ya know wot, bitch, there are a bunch of peeps doin' a double nickel after getting caught up in the revolving door of our so-called system of justice because of 'dat lifestyle that you help to promote thru your music. They ought to welcome you and you get to hang with all your homies but no, you wanna go to some lilly white country-club type lockup. Dat's fucked up, bitch.
