Lil’ Kim has released a statement lashing out at the producers of the new biopic about Notorious B.I.G., explaining that she is not happy about the way the film portrays her:
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. 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.
Biggie’s people are having none of it. Says his mother, Voletta Wallace, “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.”
And from Wayne Barrow, one of the film’s producers: “Our job as producers … was to deliver for three individuals. That’s his mom and his two children. Everybody else: Stand in line, buy a ticket and enjoy the show.”
The film, Notorious, opens in theaters this Friday.
