*Lil’ Kim is confident that sales of her upcoming memoir will break the internet and even outsell the Bible.
“When we post our pre-sales, we be surpassing the Bible,” the Queen Bee said during a recent Instagram Live session, Complex reports. “And that’s crazy. And the thing is, it’s like the Bible, like I don’t take that lightly. I already know that. But it’s like some crazy shit going on behind the scenes.”
Lil’ Kim announced her “candid” memoir in 2021 titled “The Queen Bee,” and noted at the time that she’s “excited to finally get to tell my story after all this time,” the hip-hop icon told PEOPLE.
“Many people have thought they knew the story of Lil’ Kim, but they have no idea,” she added.
“The Queen Bee” will chronicle Lil’ Kim’s nearly 30-year career in the hip-hop game — and the obstacles she had to overcome — including her stint in prison.

“Lil’ Kim not only blazed trails for women in hip-hop, but also inspired the careers of those who followed,” reads the book’s press release, per PEOPLE. “However, life at the top hasn’t been easy, either. Lil’ Kim also talks about the hidden moments of her reign: her complicated high-profile relationships, the misogynistic industry she fought to change through sex positivity, the challenging double standards of self-image and beauty in the spotlight, and the momentous act of loyalty that ultimately landed her in prison.”
Lil’ Kim’s memoir will also dive into her work as a “feminist icon,” according to the release.
“A true page-turner from start to finish, The Queen Bee is every bit as fierce, empowering, and badass as the woman at the heart of this story — and firmly cements her legacy as a true feminist icon.”
