Puff Daddy, Faith Evans,

Lil Kim is upset with the upcoming Notorious B.I.G. biopic film, Notorious, and as ever she isn't afraid to speak her mind.

The rapper issued a public statement Wednesday in which she claims that the film studio overlooked her personal experiences with Christopher Wallace (aka Biggie Smalls) in favour of a 'false portrayal' of her as a 'character' that better suited the film's story line.

But Biggie's mother, Violetta Wallace, isn't having any of it. She shot back that the film has "nothing to do with Lil Kim. If she's disappointed and upset, that is her problem."

Ouch!

Notorious is scheduled to hit theatres on January 16, 2009.







"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 Smalls' mother Violetta Wallace commented on Lil Kim's accusations:

"This is not a Lil Kim movie," she said. "This is a Christopher Wallace movie. It has nothing to do with Lil Kim. If she's disappointed and upset, that is her problem."

lil kim pretty muc showed the world what kind of person she was, she didn't even have to speak it know one she pretty much showe ven though it was none of the worlds busness any way. Point blank she was the reason why peopledisrespected her, because she was the one who put het self out there like that, which made niggas talk, until the word had spread. Lil kim brought that to herself

It was her fault why people said the things they said about her, not saying that she diserved it, but she knew that she created the problem

I agree with Kim...

The fact that Big’s mother, Faith Evans and Puffy were behind the production, resulting in a film that portrayed the above three parties as saints who could do no wrong…  and although they had the power to do so, I think that they failed to do as Big would do, and that is ‘keep it real’ in their artistic portrayal of his life and the lives of those around him…

 

Kim... I a girl that grew up on Gates between Ralph and Patchen... I've got Bed Stuy in my blood...Keep ya head up, from one bed stuy fly girl to another...

I agree with Kim. She has every right to be upset. Yes its Biggie's movie. But if it has nothing to do with her, Then why was she a character in it. To me, they played her cock and only Kim and Big know what they had. Its evident He had mad love for her. That was his main Bitch. Just like Kim said if you go make an biopic movie. Everyone should have had their input and story about their relationship wit Big. How they go have eveybody elses side, BUT the BADDEST RAP BITCH to ever spit. HANDS DOWN!! Big mom doesnt know cuz she wasnt there. Kim should have been there for the casting and all just like everyone else owas. I loved the movie! But I must say they potrayed her to be just some slut bucket to Biggie, whom he ad no repect for. To me I expected more what about his relations wit Charlie Baltimore as well. And Come on now they didnt even have a sex scene with Faith; his wife. Who he'd known for what 3 weeks! Everybody got mad respect in the movie, but to me they disrepected Kim... Its all good doe Kim. You still the Queen! Biggie left you thrown so you holdin it now And they sick cuz you a Bitch and you holdin it down! (Yo, They still cant Fuck wit Queen BEE! Show some respect when respect is due, without who/without her thered be no You)

" But I must say they potrayed her to be just some slut bucket to Biggie, whom he ad no repect for."

What movie were YOU watching? they portrayed her in no such light. They showed her as jealous and hurt (and thus acting stupid) when big started seeing faith. but thats NORMAL and NATURAL. before that, they portrayed her well and in a positive light, and when big called her to apologise later!!! you lil kim dick riders need to grow up. kim just being a bitch and complaining about nothing. wut did they expect? to make her super happy all the time? thats not real life. of course an extranged ex lover is gonna do stupid shit and act stupid. i do NOT doubt for one MINUTE kim acted this way.

I DONT THINK THEY PORTRAYED LIL KIM AS ANYTHING BUT WHAT SHE WAS. TRUE ENOUGH HER RELATIONSHIP WITH BIGGIE MIGHT HAVE BEEN TURNED AROUND TO FIT OTHER PEOPLES ACCOMODATIONS (WHICH IS WRONG BECAUSE ITS KIM AND BIGGIE RELATIONSHIP N NOBODY ELSE....EVERYONE ELSE HAD THE CHANCE TO PORTRAY THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH BIG WHY COULD SHE).

I FEEL LIKE THAT MOVIE PORTRAYED LIL KIM AS SHE PORTRAYED HERSELF TO THE MEDIA AND THE WORD. UM NOT TALKING ABOUT HER RAP SKILLS BECAUSE SHE IS A GREAT RAPPER BUT HOW THEY PORTRAYED HE AS KIM AFTER THE HEARTBREAK WITH BIG WAS HOW IT WASPORTRAYED TO THE MEDIA. SHE WAS PORTRAYED HOW SHE ACTED.

 ITS A MOVIE THEY CAN'T PORTRAY EVERY SINGLE THING THAT HAPPENED IN REAL LIFE.....ITS NOT POSSIBLE....THE MOVIE WOULDVE BEEN LONG AS HELL. EVERYTHING WITH FAITH (HIS OWN WIFE) WAS PORTRAYED IN THE MOVIE SO U KNOW THEY WASNT GONNA PORTRAY KIM AND BIGGS WHOLE RELATIONSHIP.....THATS YEARS AND YEARS OF STUFF. BUT KIM STILL SHOULD HAVE HAD INPUT ON HER STORYLINE.

I think that Kim's statement is blown out of proportion. All she is saying is that she was disappointed with the way in which she was portrayed and I agree with her. Diddy is out of line for portraying himself as a saint. Now come on Diddy. All Diddy did was put himself all up in B.I.G's videos and gold dig off of him. I am not denying that he played a major role in getting B.IG.'s career started BUT the West Coast rappers  were right. Diggy needs to calm his ass. He all up in Danity Kane's and Day 26 videos as if the whole world don't already know that he made them. He just sitting their trying to live vicariously through everyone else.

 I was really disappointed walking out of the theater because I knew Lil Kim wouldn't have agreed to be portrayed like that and she should def sue their asses.

 

Anyways Bed-Stuy do or die

Like everyone is saying no one knows the true about Bigs and Kims relationship no one is perfect. I feel that he did love Kim she was first everybody does dirt in their own way and she loved that man and even accept the fact he had a wife and i know that hurt her at the end of the. But the movie show that he was sat in his own little way and if he was here he would still love her faith his mom or nobody else could have stopped that. And yes faith is his wife but kim is his love forever.

 I DON'T AGREE WITH THE LAST PART OF THIS. TRUE ENOUGH I BELIEVE BIGGIE LOVED KIM AND IT WAS SHOWN IN THE MOVIE BUT WHEN HE GOT WITH FAITH AND MARRIED HER I DOUBT IF KIM STOPPED MESSING WITH HIM BECAUSE IF THAT....ESPECIALLY THE WAY HER [PORTRAYAL ACTED IN THE MOVIE IN THE STUDIO WHERE HER AND BIG ARGUED. I DOUBT KIM STOPPED MESSING WITH BIG WHICH NOW SHE BECAME THE OTHER WOMAN. FAITH EVANS WAS THE LOVE OF BIG'S LIFE.....HE LOVED KIM NO DOUBT BUT FAITH WAS HIS LIFE AND HE COULDVE AND DID MAKE A BETTER LIF EWITH HER.

I agree with KIM 100%. After seeing that movie, i was digusted with the way they portrayed her. Most of their time was spent in private, so who's creative mind was it to make up their own version of what they think went on behind closed doors? Ms. Wallace, "the Jehovah's Witness", allowed those disgusting sex sceens to be exposed, n then has the nerve to be holding a bible during his funeral. She's a stupid woman if you ask me. I love BIG, but i feel like that movie was rushed in an effort for Diddy to cash in on his biggest payday ever. Nobody called my girl KIM to get her side of her n BIG's relationship n that was dead wrong. She was with him before all the jewels n the fame n everything else. N nobody thought that it would of made more sense to get her opinion on the movie. KIM, keep ya head up lil mama, u still the BADDEST BITCH, with or without those clowns...

I AGREE WITH YOU ON ONE THING......KIM SHOULD HAVE HAD INPUT ON THE MOVIE BECAUSE SHE HAD ABIG IMPACT ON BIG AND WHO HE WAS. NOBODY KNOWS WHAT REALLY WENT ON......ALL PPL RTEALLY KNOW IS SNIPPETS. DIDDY PROBALY KNEW MORE OF WHAT WENT ON BECAUSE HE WAS BIGGS RIGHT HAND MAN BUT KIM SHOULD HAVE HAD IMPUT BECAUSE AFTER ALL WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HER AND BIGGS RELATIONSHIP.

NOW LETS GET TO WHAT I DISAGREE WITH. I THINK ITS VERY WRONG HOW YOU DISRESPECTED BIGGS MOTHER THE WAY YOU DID IN THIS COMMENT OF YOURS. YOU WEREN'T THERE AT ALL SO YOU CANT SAY WHAT MS. WALLACE IS RIGHT OR WRONG FOR. THAT WAS VERY DISRESPECTFUL OF YOU TO CALL HER A STUPID WOMAN AND ANYBODY ELSE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD AGREE WITH ME.

I think that lil is just mad the truth was said about her. I don't think it was false I also think its more to the story, but like bigs mom said it aint bout lil kim she better lucky she was put in the movie at all and the movie did show her talent so I think she is just mad about the way she carried herself that's that.

i thinks lil kim should be upset about the movie!! that girl that got kicked out 3LW is ugly and she dont look like kim, she def. dont have kim swag so why did they even bother to ask her to play her?? I have seen the movie and i dont think it has anything to do with biggie and his life but more on the people that was around him at the time!! everyone tried to make there selves look good in the movie instead telling all the facts and what really happened!! I think Biggie was in love with lil kim, shit he met her way before faith and i think they would have gotten together if didnt pass! if they wanted to tell everything in the movie why didnt they show when faith was fucking 2pac?? yea that man aint gone lie about the way he was fucking her!! they should have just told the truth, and faith dont even like kim so why would she even put her input on how they relationship was?? she knew biggie really wanted to be with her!!... i think they should make a remake on the movie and have everyone that was apart of biggies life at the time to be there to show how they did what and when!!!...DIDDY DID!!

I think Kim is in denial about being the other woman. I mean BIG probably showed her two sides. The behind the scenes kind side and the in the mean public side. The movie basically put everything in perspective. Kim was just a bitch and Faith was "wifey." And its not Kim's fault that she failed to realize that, its just that when you are caught up like she was, sometimes its hard to accept or really see the truth.

Yo Lil  Kim Im and friend to the fam, the way you was respresented in Biggie movie was on point it show you was there @ the door and  fa da whole ryde wit Biggie, to me Faith was shown to be a gold digger she knew Biggie was a boss ass playa , and knew it was a matter of time before he did his thing and she could step with money. You need to come back and respresent your shyt, you are the true Queen Bee of rap

I think Biggie is somewhat responsible for Lil' Kims racial complex. She wants to be a white woman because Big chose Faith (a lighter skin more white looking woman) over her.  I think his mom is being kind of insensitive and she needs to appreciate the way Kim is feeling.  Kim had a great impact on Biggie's life and vice versa.  I mean I wasn't there but you can tell that they had mad for each other.  There is no merit in any of this because Naturi did a phenomenal job in representing lil' Kim in Notorius.  Keep your head up Kim and keep doing what you do.

I find it kinda odd that Faith Evans drug abuse was never brought up throughout the movie so there was a lot left out, lil kim is right.
