Lil' Kim Talks About Her Past Absence From The Music Industry, Label Drama And More...


People wondered where Lil Kim’s new music was before 2009 when Nicki Minaj started turning the female rap game into a Harajuku Barbie World and now we finally have some answers.  While fans thought she had backed out of the rap game for good, she was legally barred from releasing new music.

This past weekend, she sat down with DJ Envy for MTV’s ‘Sucka Free’ and revealed that she’s been dodging lawsuits over the years which has prevented her from recording and releasing music  She attempted to by-pass the lawsuits and release her Black Friday mixtape in 2011 (through orders on Paypal), however, she’s been in a legal chokehold for six years after she attempted to switch labels when she was released from prison.

In 2008, Lil Kim was sued by Brookland Media (Trackmasters)  for 2.5 million dollars and barred from recording any new material after they accused her of backing out of her record deal. The company had paid Atlantic Records $200,000 to get her out of her previous contract, spent $240,000 to produce eight songs for her unfinished LP and shelled out over $12,000 in rent for a home near her crib.
