Big biz is latest buzz for Lil' Kim
According to CHRISENA COLEMAN it's forget Queen Bee. Lil' Kim has become a busy bee since her release from prison last month.
The pint-size rapper has set up a business center at her attorney's Manhattan office, the Daily News has learned. For the past two weeks Lil' Kim, whose real name is Kimberly Jones, has been leaving her Alpine, N.J., home to work from a base at the midtown offices of Londell McMillan. The place has been nicknamed "The Queen Bee Academy."
"She's been here getting her personal, spiritual and business life together," said McMillan yesterday. "Kim is editing footage for the second season of her reality show, "Countdown to Lockdown," and developing her business interests."
McMillan said Lil' Kim, who traveled to the office with permission from probation authorities, has also been setting up business deals, searching for a new record label and going through a "Harvard Business School-like training" so she can take charge of her future. Lil' Kim, 32, served 10 months at the Philadelphia Federal Detention Center for lying about a shooting outside a Manhattan radio station. McMillan said his client has promised to "turn her prison experience into something positive for herself and others." The rapper is also establishing the Lil' Kim Cares initiative to help prisoners, especially women, with life after prison. "She wants to help them get re-acclimated because they will need jobs, shelter and the basics," McMillan said. The rapper completes house arrest Thursday, but will remain on probation.
Tracy Nguyen, Lil' Kim's publicist, said her client will address her fans and the media after she completes her house arrest obligations.
