Naturi Covers KING

Peep Naturi Naughton on the cover of the latest issue of KING Magazine. Some of you may remember her from her stint in R&B trio 3LW. Well, the 23 year old, having put her solo ambitions on hold, is set to star as none other than pint-sized rapper Lil’ Kim in the upcoming Biggie Smalls biopic ‘N.O.T.O.R.I.O.U.S’ (which hits theatres early 2009).

I definitely saw Naturi as having the standout voice in the now defunct 3LW and didn’t like the way she was ousted from the trio. For that reason, I’m kinda rooting for her to be successful in her own right – so much so that I’m overlooking that atrocity of a single she tried to drop last year (anyone remember ‘Real Chicks’?). Providing she turns in a good performance in her role in the movie, she may well establish herself in her own right.
