| Lil' Kim may be small in stature, but the only thing that's small about this hot, hot female rapper is her height (4'11"). Having overcome a very troubled youth and the murder of her mentor -- Notorious B.I.G. -- Lil' Kim is now one of the most successful and acclaimed female rappers of all time. |
 |
| Her provocative attire may be unforgettable (as was the case at the 2000 MTV Music Awards, where she wore a pasted purple sticky over one breast), but it's her music from albums like Hard Core (1996), Notorious K.I.M. (2000) and La Bella Mafia (2003) that keeps everyone interested. |

Born on July 11th, 1975, and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Kimberly Denise Jones and her older brother Christopher were left under the care of her father after her parents got divorced when she was 9 years old. Kimberly and Christopher lived with their mother Ruby Mae at first, until custody of the children was passed on to Linwood Jones.
A rebellious child living under the strict rules of her dad, Lil' Kim and her father constantly fought. After therapy sessions and physical fights, she eventually ran away from home.
Forced to crash at her friends' apartments, live with drug-dealing boyfriends, and indulge in promiscuity (she was even a prostitute at one time) in order to "gold-dig" her way into a man's heart, Kim eventually began to clean up her act upon meeting her mentor and father figure, Christopher Wallace, better known as Biggie Smalls and Notorious B.I.G.
While Kim worked as a salesperson at Bloomingdale's, her friends discovered that she could, in fact, rap. Biggie encouraged his protg to pursue a rapping career, and cast her as a member of the rap group Junior M.A.F.I.A., signed under Biggie's Undeas label. |
