Of course, the gala came with performance of his greatest hits. On the red carpet of rap star’s birthday celebration, Lil Kim also revealed that a biography movie depicting her life is in the works and would likely follow shortly after the release of her upcoming memoire as per the NY Post! Word has it that the leading actress of choice to portray Kimberly in such a film could be Teyana Taylor.
