Lil’ Kim is ready to open up about her life like never before.
On Wednesday (April 28), the Hip Hop legend announced that her memoir, The Queen Bee, written with author Kathy Iandoli, will be published on November 2 via Hachette Books.
“I’m excited to finally get to tell my story after all this time,” Lil’ Kim said via a press release. “Many people have thought they knew the story of Lil’ Kim but they have no idea. I’m thrilled Kathy and I have put together something special with Hachette Books for my fans.”
The release states the book will detail the “hard work, hustle, and heartbreak” that helped secure the Original Queen Bee’s place on the throne. The Brooklyn MC will give fans a look into her earliest rap beginnings, the time she spent with the Notorious B.I.G. and a behind the scenes relaying of her time at Bad Boy Records during its peak, among other things.
