Leaving home[edit]

This article says her father expelled her from the home. However, the future Lil' Kim ran away from home to escape her father's abuse. She shunned her father for many years, but reluctantly let him stay at one of her homes, as he has Alzeimer's disease. Here's one article:

Lil Kim's controversies[edit]

Lil' Kim did an interview in 2001 with Wendy Williams and in that interview she stated that she made up with Shyne. The interview is on YouTube. It would be great to show that she rectified her issue with him years ago.

Also, where is Faith Evans and Eve in the "controversy" section?

Lil' Kim record sales[edit]

The article states that Lil' Kim has sold 15 million albums worldwide and 30 million singles. Where are the sources and are those credible sources?

Also, the Junior M.A.F.I.A album conspiracy has not sold 8 million records worldwide. Sources please!!

thank you 8barzmusic (talk) 00:08, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was looking at the article in question this user claims was a copyright violation from last.fm and if you look in the history (which is publicly available), it says that the information was originally forked from Wikipedia by the article creator in 2006. I would be hesitant to call it copyright infringement unless they significantly went in a different direction when it comes to what they added since then and whether THAT was taken from us too. By hosting our material, they are doing so under a Creative Commons license even if their material in question they personally created is copyrighted.--Thebirdlover (talk) 22:34, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
