Despite critical acclaim for Naturi Haughton for her portrayal of Lil Kim in “Notorious, the Queen Bee is still not having it.
A war of words erupted in the weeks leading up to the release of the Biggie biopic, with Lil Kim vowing to “expose” FaithEvans and Big’s mother, VolettaWallace.
In a new statement that appeared on Bossip, Kim stated that she was in love with the late ChristopherWallace, and the feeling was mutual.
“I feel like I was not portrayed how I should have been in this movie,” she said. “I was in love with BIG and he was in love with me. I was never a JUMP-OFF, I know this and BIG knew this. I wasn’t even able to choose who I wanted to portray me in this movie. I would have never picked Naturi, she doesn’t have a Lil Kim aura at all! She looks nothing like I looked back then. We have NO similarities.”

Kim went on to call Haughton’s performance “dreadful” and hinted at legal action over the film.
“Another thing is, I have been dealing with legal matters as far as them not wanting to pay me and shit for this movie, got a lawyer involved, so everything is cool with that, but it still doesn’t change my views and feelings. This is truly Faith and Ms. Wallace’s movie. And Ms. Wallace is right, this isn’t a Lil’ Kim movie and it’s not about me. I didn’t want it to be about me, I wanted it to be REAL though. And that it is NOT. I take no part in this movie and have nothing to do with it.”
