lil kim is not happy

MTV News.com is reporting that Lil’ Kim is unhappy with the team behind the Biggie biopic, “Notorious,” saying “most of the story is bullsh–” and complaining that the actress who played her in the film never even reached out to her.

In a recent cover story with Hip-Hop Weekly, Kim — who said she has not seen the film — said she believed Big’s wife, Faith Evans, and his mother, Voletta Wallace, were behind the snub.

Evans, however, denied that accusation, explaining to MTV News last week that the movie was adapted from the book, “Unbelievable: The Life, Death and Afterlife of the Notorious B.I.G.,” by Cheo Hedari Coker (although the film is actually an original story written by Coker and Reggie Rock Bythewood).

Now, one of the writers of the screenplay, Bythewood — whose credits include directing the film “Biker Boyz” — is clarifying the lady lyricist’s portrayal in the movie.

“When I was brought onto the project, I requested to speak with Kim,” Bythewood told MTV News on Saturday via e-mail. “Once I was granted access, I was blown away by the two-hour phone interview [we had]. She is a complex person. She is a sister with a lot of vulnerability and a lot of strength. Much of what she told me went directly into my next draft. Unfortunately, she was slipped a draft that was written before our conversation. She was angry at the producers and I did not get to speak with her again.”
