An eclectic spread of soul food and a house full of family and friends await Lil' Kim when she arrives home at her New Jersey mansion today after being freed from prison.
The raunchy rapper will be greeted with barbecue chicken, macaroni and cheese, salmon pasta salad, rice and peas and a fruit plate from the Watt Co. when she walks in the door in Alpine, N.J., according to her spokeswoman.
A red velvet cake from Sean (Diddy) Combs' Justin's restaurant in Manhattan will also be waiting for her.
Besides the food, the pint-sized superstar will find a house filled with relatives and friends, including some she hasn't seen since she was imprisoned last September.
"Her family and friends will be there," said Tracy Nguyen, a spokeswoman for the rapper. "She'll be spending time with them."
Lil' Kim's day will start in Philadelphia around dawn when she is expected to leave a federal prison and take a bus bound for Newark.
After checking in with officials at a halfway house, she will be taken to her mansion, where she will stay under house arrest until next month.
She won't have to wear a monitoring ankle bracelet, but she will be required to stay at home 24 hours a day until Aug. 2.
The loquacious star won't be talking to the media, but her first moments of semi-freedom will be documented by the makers of her Black Entertainment Television reality show.
The Grammy-winning rapper, whose real name is Kimberly Jones, was convicted of perjury for lying about a shootout with a rival hip-hop crew outside the offices of radio station Hot 97.
She reported to prison Sept. 19, and has spent nearly 10 months in the big house.
Just days after she went to prison in a blaze of publicity, her new album, "The Naked Truth," shot to the top of the charts.
Lil' Kim told pals she was counting down the days to her release and whiled away the long days behind bars reading books and learning Spanish.

Ms. Jones was release from Federal Prison early due to good behavior. I am so happy for her I am a huge Lil Kim fan I hope she release another single from her Naked Truth album that album was hot maybe she will get a remix off of that and be able to promote her album or re-release it like Mariah & Usher did for there last album ya think?
