Lil Kim not happy with Biggie biopic

NEW YORK (AP) - January 13, 2009

The Notorious B.I.G. mentored and dated Lil Kim. Their relationship is depicted in the new movie "Notorious" but Lil Kim doesn't think it's accurate.

In a statement, she says: "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."

But Wallace's mother Voletta said in an interview Monday: "This is not a Lil Kim movie. ... If she's disappointed and upset, that is her problem."

"Notorious" opens in theaters this Friday.
