In related news, Lil Kim revealed last year that she has a biopic in the works. 

When it comes to the actress who will play her, the hip-hip icon said, “I don’t know… We’ll have to see”, she told The New York Post.

Kim previously said she wants singer Teyana Taylor to play her in a biopic. 

“I see my movie in parts. So I have to find the perfect little girl, then I have to find the teenager, then I have to find the perfect teenager into almost like young adult, and then I play the remaining part myself,” she told Essence in a 2021 interview. 

“I love Teyana (Taylor). She’s my only other thought. There’s nobody else in the industry at all but Teyana. But, even before Teyana, I would love to give some little girls from Brooklyn a chance so I can connect. Really connect.”

Lil’ Kim confirmed to The Post that the biopic would closely mirror her memoir, “The Queen Bee.”
