Lil’ Kim is preparing to release her memoir, Lil’ Kim: The Queen Bee, this November. Co-written by Kim and Kathy Iandoli, the book will take a closer at her upbringing in New York, meeting the Notorious B.I.G and achieving success in the male-dominated music industry.
“I’m excited to finally get to tell my story after all this time. Many people have thought they knew the story of Lil’ Kim, but they have no idea,” she told People in an exclusive statement.
“Lil’ Kim not only blazed trails for women in Hip-Hop, but also inspired the careers of those who followed. However, life at the top hasn’t been easy, either. Lil’ Kim also talks about the hidden moments of her reign: her complicated high-profile relationships, the misogynistic industry she fought to change through sex positivity, the challenging double standards of self-image and beauty in the spotlight, and the momentous act of loyalty that ultimately landed her in prison,” the book’s press release from Hachette Books adds.
Lil’ Kim: The Queen Bee will be released in November and is available for pre-order now.
