As many an act has learned before her, one’s legacy is only as powerful as the actions one takes in their career to preserve it.
Unfortunately for Lil Kim, by way of falling for traps set by reigning Rap Queen Nicki Minaj and a questionable work ethic, she has seen her once admired career tainted and almost destroyed in recent years.
Sullied, by her inability to match feats scored by acts she herself paved the way for.
Now, in a letter sent to That Grape Juice.Net this evening, her remaining fans have threatened to boycott her- citing her disregard for their supports as grounds for their grievance.

Subject: Lil’ Kim Fans Set To Boycott Future Club Appearances
From: Lil Kim Community <lilkimcommunity@gmail.com>

To: That Grape Juice <***@thatgrapejuice.net>
“Lil’ Kim fans have decided to boycott the rapper’s future appearances until she shows them the love and respect that they deserve, with keeping at least one promise by releasing music.
Kim’s fans are often disappointed with failed and delayed releases, still long awaiting her album following her release from prison in 2006. This time around enough has been enough.
Kim launched her Return of The Queen tour with no material to state that she was officially back. Kim failed to properly release two promising singles during the tour, with “Keys To the City” not making it to iTunes and “Looks Like Money” not being released at all.
It was her last appearance at Club 40/40 since the tour has been over that really had her fans upset. A video from the event surfaced of the intoxicated rapper making a comment and showing signs of not releasing music anytime soon. She then goes on to promote her boyfriend, who is an aspiring rapper.
Fans took to Twitter to question Kim and her team on the video, not getting a response from Kim because she does not communicate with them anymore. Her hair stylist, tour manager, and boyfriend began to disrespect them, stating “yall complain too much, put a sock in it, let’s get this money, we got haters, etc”.
The irony of the situation is that her fans are trying to get her to get to the money by releasing music for them to support.
A fan even simply asked for an update and was told “she just got her nails done”.
That seems to be a slap in the face to these dedicated fans. Fans are now turning their Twitter fan pages into personal pages and one of her fansites has been shut down by the owner.
These fans are furious and are not taking it easy on Kim nor her team from now on. The plan now is to boycott any club appearances that may be promoted, including the current one in DC next month.
It is said that fans are going as far as doing radio interviews to get the word out about the boycott.
After riding with Kim for 7 years since her prison sentence, these fans definitely deserve better and are getting the respect they deserve, even if it means putting a hold on her income.
All this, days after a former member of the Rapper’s entourage also expressed their concerns over her well being to That Grape Juice.
Revealing, that they were distrusting of the aforementioned ‘Papers‘, who they believe is using her to further his own profile in Hip Hop.

…Damn.
That’s sad.
On the other hand I fully agree she’s f****** up. She’s been letting too many other people speak for her and letting that ghetto 50-in-the-face boyfriend telling anyone to ‘put a sock in it’?
DAMN stupid.
Messy, messy, messy. I actually pity her now. She was fire back in the 90’s but the reality is you have to protect that past and treat it delicately. I think Kim just believed she’d always have the game on lock and as a result never knew how to handle people that came for her.
People don’t insult her now because she used to be Queen. They insult her because she’s an easy target.
Look at Azealia Banks. When you’ve got a fool who doesn’t even has an official album to their name dissing you in mags you’ve seriously lost your power somewhere.
Wow Kim…like Shug.
it’s a rap
Azealia copied Nicki’s gimmick. Kim/Nicki beef pushed Pink Friday’s sales.. it gave Nicki some nice media attention and controversy and that was b4 pink friday dropped. so blame nicki for that. if Kim lost her power why are u mad h*** still talking about her ? JUST FORGET HER if you say what she is.
We’re talking about her because her fans jus publicly put her on blast.
You might wanna worry about the rest of your team and deal with them. Because fussing at me ain’t helping you or her.
Black barbie ?? Ur a kim fan? If nicki’s gimmick is barbie wasn’t that kims gimmick too?? just asking…
Exactly Kim was bragging about being the “Queen”… she lost
Nicki isn’t the queen either. Sorry, bew.
Smh…….
I understand why they’re upset but if you are a real fan you would never boycott your idol or do something that hurts her, i’m not a Kim fan but their behavior is not good either.
F*** her!! And f*** u too u B****!! She had this comn!!
your comment is completely stupid and immature. In your case, it is not stated a fan but fanatic.
that’s just it…they’re not real fans…they only pretended to like Kim because she was the first one to diss Nicki…it’s not that they liked Kim, it’s that they hate Nicki…if Eve did what Kim did, there would be all these new Eve fans…there was never a high demand for Kim’s music until she dissed Nicki…more ppl knew her from “Dancing With The Stars” after her jail release
^^ This.
She’a finished in this town.
I’m very disappointed in Kim right now. I’ll always love her and be a fan, but as of now I’m not expecting anything new from her. She’s at the point where she can do whatever she wants. She’s iconic.. period. Kim doesn’t have to do anything, but the lies and delays are straight b*******.. and her team isn’t making the situation any better. I still can’t get over the fact that her boyfriend told us to “put a sock in it”.. question is WHY SHOULD WE? We(as Kim’s fans) have every right to be complaining especially over the lies and delays. Smh.. just a mess.
First of all, LCC doesn’t even LIKE TGJ..so WHY would they email them? Lmao
& all of these tweets are ANCIENT….We LOVE Kim, stop spreading lies FlopJuice.
That e-mail is fake and was written by TGJ.
NO U GOAT P**** B****…YOOOUUU LOVE KIM!!!! Her and that fuckn ‘return of the queen, with a collection plate to pay off the IRS, tour this BUTVH did sealed her fate just lile yo birth sealed yo SRANK P**** momma’s c***!!
‘b****’
lmfao at TGJ hiding behind this username lmfao ! u bitter hater
yo momma! Im just statin fuckn facts, u w****
It is actually true @Lilkimcommunity sent TGJ this email.
I am a Lil’ Kim soldier and stan. and i will WAIT FOR HER. f*** that disloyal piece of trash who sent ThatMinajJuice.net that email. im disgusted. Take into consideration Kim’s setbacks,what it takes to prepare a new album,contracts,labels,meetings e.t.c. Kim just GAVE US a FULL US TOUR for god sake, she put out alot of new songs this year,did TELEVISED interviews,web interviews e.t.c. the minute y’all want a new song or get tired of the new one Kim just put out. you cry foul and want to boycott her ? Kim had FUN at her birthday bash and u wna use that against her ? Kim is in love and u wna use that against her ?? y’all are not Kim fans. ur just ” i want Kim to s*** on Nicki” fans end of story. Kim is KIM she will do what she does at her own pace. Sleep on KIM but i KNOW she is coming back FULL FORCE and all u non- believers WILL be left looking STUPID. and F*** Azealia and Nicki both Kim clones who are mad and bitter
Their all gonna laugh at u
I GIVE ZERO F****
@barbi-f*** u, h**
LOL @ Nicki fans being bitter.. The QUEEN has 2 #1 albums, a #1 movie, a perfume, a clothing line in the works, an OPI line, two MAC endorsements, a Pepsi Ad ALLLLLL since Kimmy FlopCo left the slammer… y’all seem to be the only ones PRESSED…
#SPACEBAR LOL
But what are you bringing to the table though, flopzilla?
You don’t have the coins to purchase any of the things the “Queen” is selling so why even part yo crusty ass lips to speak on it? Sit down, dummy.
U mad? OH ok…….. pardon the KING’S back, f**…..
My money >> Kim’s money LOL
Mad about the fact that you can’t even match a paperboy’s gross income? Hardly.
I’m not moved by the girls who struggle to pay the bill on the Metro phone they use to flood this site with.
Anything else I can help you with, hun?
A— THE F***—MEN!!!
At this point…I don’t even think she can come back anymore.
What other rapper EVER has had their fans publicly boycott them? And people in her entourage are sneaking and telling a blog they’re worried about her?
…I’d say she needs to come back hard as hell and put this all to rest but I know she’s in no shape to come back THIS MINUTE. And if she can’t come back immediately with everything that’s agains her right now…
I think she should gracefully bow out, because I don’t want to see her embarrassed and end up flopping and fading like a tragedy. She deserves better for how she was in her prime.
toooo late.
She is the QUEEN that is why ppl CARE SO MUCH GOOD OR BAD !! has anyone done the same to Missy Elliott ?? she aint dropped an album, no new singles she aint done s*** for years.
but missy elliott is neutral switzerland.. she produces & works behind the scenes.. she’s been sick w/ a disease that has physically affected her body.. Kim on the other hand is too worried about beefs to contribute anything to her genre.. SMH
B**** go play in yo loose p****
Listen here and listen good, Kim fan didnt write that crap. I can understand why you would be threaten by her silence because you dont know what to expected from the only female rapper who has a college course about her lyrics. I can tell you this Lil Kim will be featured on Fred The Godson’s Mixtape that will be dropping this Wednesday on August 15, 2012. Lil Kim stay on yall brains.
Stick a fork in her, she’s done! Just like yo momma, c***
Listen you sissy, you arent tough so keep pressing them keys f*****
F*** u
exactly ! these haters are jumping for joy at the thought of Kim being “FINISHED” just shows you how much of a threat Kim is
A mixtape, though? wasn’t she supposed to give y’all an album?? Where is her official music? What happened to “Looks like Money” or that songs “Keys” ft. Jeezy?
U BLACK B**** I WAS A FAN!! A STAN IN FACT! W****! U b****** can keep stannin for her but yall need to wash yall p****!! F***!
Releasing music is not an artists decision but the label’s decision. Unless Lil’ Kim goes solo, she has to play by the Label’s rules.
GO WATCH YO FUCKN HEAD U LICE CARRYING W****!! That b**** is DONE!!
‘wash’
YOU HATERS ARE HAPPY lmfao
@627, c***
yeah. whatever. even you’s postin the same old pics. aren’t there any better photoshoots? ehh no. there’s nobody who sticks a dollar into it.
sooner are later i new one of you was going to blame nicki for this sh-t kim is in that just hit the fan,kim is a d-mb b1tch and always will be a man fool the dude have so much power he is even dissing her fans,i bet kim was there s-cking is d*** when he made that text on twitter..you all know that when kim is getting that d*** she put the man first[even banks is dissing her someone who was in pampers when kim came in the game w-tf]…music and fans are a distance 3er it,s the same thing happen to her when that dude was beating the sh-t out of her and cost her to go to jail for lying…the bottomline is you fans can cry all you want he man will always be first even when she new the man is using her she don’t care….another thing that is killing her she thinks she is still that b-tch and she still have the game on lock maximum delusion….even jay-z the legend in this game isn’t doing sh-t like this f-cking up is business and other unprofessional sh-t and he is way on a high level than kim…..i am a nicki fan so i know my comment is going to be void…but deef down you bias f-ckers know that i have some valid points in my rambling.
Bottomline is Kim is too old for rap. she should’ve used her success to build an empire like Queen Latifah
Kim said herself she is paying out of pocket for expenses & has no major label backing.. so how do ppl expect her to compete w/ Nicki? She can’t…. PERIOD
nicki was self made way before wayne took her from the underground on to the mainstream.
How is Kim too old for rap when she is only 7 years older than your fav. Sit all the way down
Self made? Sit—–>>>> _/ Your reaching…she had a dude backing her ass up and telling her what she needed to be in order to make it. If it wasn’t for fendi nicki wouldn’t be where she is today.
Fendi gave her a platform, nothing more. If Fendi hadn’t of done it someone else would have…
Oh well. Been done with Kim for along time. She’s full of s***, plastic and silicone. Never get another dime out of me regardless of when she goes broke and comes back pretending to care about fans and drops a whack ass track again. F*ck Kim.
CHIIIILE I COSIGN!!
OH SO NIKKI BODY IS SO REAL!!! LOL NIKKI BODY IS MORE PLASTIC THAN KIMS BODY!!!!
Huh…like I’ve explained to many like-minded dumbasses such as yourself, “ENOUGH ONIKA” clearly states my DISLIKE for her so you taking shots is agreed upon….
The b**** is DONE!! AND GOOOOOOOD
ha ! all the haters are HAPPY
Look b**** I just knw when a b**** is done…like yo p*** in the bed mammy u h**!
Thats what you think you who b*tch
Jump ship STANK P**** TRAMP!! This bitvh is as finish as ur hooker days with yo momma. U s***!!
For lil’ kim to be a non factor,broke,irrelevant,washed up,finished e.t.c. she gets the most attention and harrasment from the haters and this website. its ironic
F*** u b****
There’s no reason for any fan to boycott their fav. But why do I feel like this was posted because TGJ hates Kim?
Yes the hell there is. When fans buy tickets, singles and mix tapes thinking their money is going towards promised material but finds out she’s using it on yachts, more surgeries, bleach, her whack ass boyfriend, nails and the mop she wears on her head, I’d boycott the sh*t outta her ass too, fave or not.
I normally hate u but im COMPLETELY with u on this. She a funky b**** yo
Kim is ridiculous, so is her fanbase . so proud to be #TeamMinaj !
F*** nicki7 and yo mammy too, u slant p**** w****
Loyalty has gone out of style, I see.
BlackBarbie627 said what needs to be said.
Chiiiile eat a d*** up til u hiccup, bitvh
Lil’ Kim really needs to stop wearing that fugly makeup & get w/ Derek Blanks and do an alter ego shoot followed by a single a radio tour focusing on her MUSIC (not N. Minaj) then she can release a video for that single (even if it’s low budget) and drop her album 3rd quarter next yr….. She’s letting time pass her by, she’s 38. Nicki done snatched her wig, 3 grammy noms first year out – sure to get a win in the next 3 yrs. .
I find this hard to believe. TGJ is anti Kim and most Kim stans hate TGJ. If they were going to send this email why not to a respectable hip-hop blog? If this was made up in done with TGJ. New levels of low
c***
Flip-flop fan, get a life
Suck a d*** w****!
It was’t made up. Everything is genuine! Those who sent the email confirmed that they sent it.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, #TeamKim needs to have several seats.
Stay screaming they want new music. Then when they get it, they don’t support it.
As I said a while back, all them well-wishes and moral support is NOT enough.
All this time invested into backbiting, whining and wishy-washiness instead of showing some type of support…and wonder why nothing has taken off yet. Why not purchase some music? Why not put you’re local radio stations up on game about her new music and request it? SPREAD THE DAMN WORD IF YOUR SO LOYAL. THAT is the kind of stuff that draws interest back into Kim and would get her closer to getting a new record deal – which would give her the financial and legal backing she needs to FINALLY get the ball rolling to get this long overdue album out. See how this works? I understand not EVERYTHING she has put out in recent years was something to write home about, but not everything has been bad. Theres no excuse for the sheer laziness on the part of TeamKim. If you want Kim to stop dragging her feet and bullshittin, how about giving her a reason to give a damn. And this is coming from a TRUE Kim fan who actually goes on iTunes and BUYS the new music, promotes it and actually gives REAL constructive criticism instead of flat out ASS KISSING or just flat out HATING like I see on a constant basis from alot of the “fans”. Kim got some sp’laining to do herself but she aint the only one who should be raked over the coals for LACKING IN DOING THEIR PART.
2012 Kim is NOTHING like 1996 Kim. If she put something out that was of the standard of, or even close to the standard of her good work, maybe they would support it… Why should they buy music that they don’t like? Ppl have bills. Not one of the songs she put out were that good. If she wants them to make an effort she needs to do the same.
How hard is it to get a twitter page and diss a person? No hard at all? That’s what I thought. Sam and his f** crew stay stalking, walking, talking about the Queen Bee.
There is no reason for her to keep releasing music if she has no record label to support the “fans” that are planning to boycott are not really fans. Fans should understand she has no label,no money and has to show that she can still make money by touring. Artist make money by touring not by cd sales,singles etc. Im willing to wait for her to get signed because just releasing music to iTunes and not being able to promote it( videos,tv performances,radio play) is a waste of time she needs funding!!!
U should suck my d***, queen
BTW….y’all DO know that Truth(theREALISTubitch) is DaHotNig, right?
Just puttin that out there for free.
B**** u sound as stoopid as yo RANK P**** MOMMA walkin the srreet tryna sell p****! U dahotnig u p*** mouf b****
LOL @ LCC being “private” they worried ppl gonna comment negative stuff on their idol??
WHY ARE WE [#TEAMLILKIM] ALWAYS BRINGING NICKI’S NAME IN THESE COMMENTS, THIS ARTICLE IS ABOUT LIL KIM AND HER LAZINESS. WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT SICKI? IS IT HER FAULT KIM IS NOT DOING WHAT SHE’S SUPPOSE TO DO NO SO STFU ABOUT SICKI. SOME OF YOU GUYS ALWAYS SAY YA DON’T LIKE SICKI BUT THEN MENTIONS HER NAME IN ALMOST EVERY LIL ARTICLE IN THE COMMENT BOXES. LET’S CONTINUE TO WORRY ABOUT THE QUEEN B AND NOT FAKE BARBIES. #TEAMLILKIM
Fake barbies w/ fake plastic ERR’THANG = Kim. LOOOOL U kim stans kill me
$$$ Nicki > Kim
Raps (not about d***) Nicki > Kim
Fanbase Nicki > Kim
Hottest MC’s TOP FIVE!
Grammy nominations based on her OWN MATERIAL!
Dominates in all categories: POP. HIP-HOP, R&B
Nicki>Kim’
Damn, no wonder y’all call her “Sicki” she got the haters sick & dying!!!
so, nicki doesn’t rap about d***? mmhm..did you become a fan after superbass? Even in come on a cone she’s talking about d***..even before that..so, raps about d**** equals both of them. And did you know kim tried to do pop/rock? nah, you didn’t. Sit—–>>> _/
TeamKim is a hotmess just like their fav. How sad. Banks officially murdered her career
Speaking of careers….when is Banks gonna establish one?
LMAO…THIS HERE!! 🙂
Lil Kim needs to hang it up flat screen !
Wmmm, whatever! I still love me some Lil Kim! 🙂
Haters…..
I love kim, but damn this is sad.. her fans go HAM, and they have a right to. I’m glad Queen Brandy is trying to get us some tea, slowly but surely.
As a loyal and die hard Lil’ Kim fan, it hurts me seeing this and not being able to defend her. We have to accept that at the end of the day, it is a BUSINESS, and Kim isn’t doing much to sustain her career.
Her name STILL holds weight. Whenever she puts out a single, or participates in a media interview, it STILL makes headlines. Although for both good and bad reasons, Kim is still prevalent in the media, and has a strong and loyal empire of fans who are willing to support her every step of the way.
I don’t want her to rush her album, but at least make it evident that you ARE working on your career. Get signed to a major record label, for starters! Hop on a hot feature with a A-List celebrity, not some underground nobody. Do magazine covers, do advertising campaigns, show up to events just to have your picture taken. Present at a major award show. Do small cameo acting roles. Even celebrity reality shows! JUST GET YOUR NAME, IMAGE AND EMPIRE BACK INTO ROTATION!
And when you’re ready to put out music, I’M BEGGING YOU – PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not alter the pitch in your vocals. STOP USING THAT STUPID AUTO-TUNE in you songs. Team Kim, as well as the rest of America, are craving for that deep-bass voice you spit. The one that went from 1995-2008. We NEED that deep, hardcore voice back!
Mami, i’ve said what i’ve suppose to say, and I really hope (and need) to see you at the top again. Team Kim loves you, and we just want to see your star shine the brightest.! Muahhh!
Love Live The Queen!
She done! Except it, b****
Lil’Kim’s deep voice was ruined when she got those nose jobs so she’ll never be the same. The deep voice is a struggle for her now.
Look I’m still a Kim fan Lyrically no femcee has touched Kim to date! Now her lack in communication with her fans is just awful! However I would never try to boycott her if I don’t support someone I ignore their existence but putting negative energy into hurting someone child please I’m too grown for that! I love u Kim n I wish u hurry up n do something teamKim can be proud of Anything! As for her birthday who doesn’t get f***** up on that day!!!!! The haters go to bed praying Kim gives up lol smh!
H** stfu
Uumm, its been confirmed by numerous producers/writers that she don’t write sh*t….
THIS DAMN B**** WHO SENT THIS EFFED UP LETTER DOES NOT SPEAK FOR ME!!! THE NERVE!!! KIM ALL THE WAY EVERYDAY!!!
Their all gonna laugh at u!! B****
another day another Lil Kim hate post from TGJ, this is a new low though, making up fake emails from the fans?? what fans? I didn’t realize there was a conference call to decide to boycott Kim, maybe i missed the email…cause as a Kim fan, I aint going nowhere. I do wish she would get her situation in order and focus a bit more..but to be honest Kim gave us 5 albums, 2mixtapes and almost 20 years in this game….the only reason people are pressing her is because they want some competition for Nicki, and the fact that they are pressing Kim speaks volumes about how clearly relevant she still is.
B**** GOTO HELL AND STFU!!!
DAG U SAID IT ALL..I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAID. IF THESE FOLKS STOP RIDING WIT KIM JUST CUZ SHE HASN’T MADE MUSIC IN A FEW YEARS THEN THEY WERE NEVER A FAN TO BEGIN WTIH. A FAN IS A FAN NO MATTER WHAT. YEAH IT’S FRUSTRATING, EVEN I’M FRUSTRATED CUZ I’M THE BIGGEST LIL KIM FAN. BUT WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO BUT WAIT IT OUT. S*** ROCK OUT TO HER OLD S***…ANY OF HER OLD S*** TRUMPS ANYTHING NICKI HAS PUT OUT, PERIOD!
Give her some time. DAMN. She don’t want to rushed into nothing. WTF. So cool off. #TEAMLILKIM
Ummm, she’s had yrs!! Times up, u b****
This era has been over. I love Nicki but she didn’t completely SLAY Kim’s career because it was already fading away way before she got in the game. All Nicki did was put the very last nail in Kim’s career’s coffin.
Yes, Kim still makes headlines and people like to read about her and her beefs and plastic surgery. Paris Hilton still makes headlines as well, but nobody considers her a force in music or movies. Her fans are getting mad at her for not trying and not putting out official singles and albums and primetime interviews, but the truth is that she just cant. She’s simply not the iconic figure they believe her to be. Yes, she paved the way for many, but in the harsh reality that is showbusiness, you either become a legend or a hasbeen. She is clearly the latter. She’s good for tabloids and reality tv shows, but not for selling any noteworthy products.
And there it is.
…………………………………….?????
‘black Friday’ is harder than every diss track nicki came out with.
Mayb so but kim is as done as that B**** u call mom, s***
Lol nicki Shade is still the funniest lmaooooooooooooo
KIM HAS ALWAYS BEEN AND WILL ALWAYS BE A HOT ASS MESS.. BIGGEST JOKE IN HIP HOP
Why bring Nicki in that’s Kim and her fans fault they obsessed with NICKI MINAJ whether. They like it or not they spend more time talking bout her and making images of nicki and kim than supporting her “Black Friday” was just the nail in the coffin that was ATROCIOUS smh
I CAN SEE WHERE LIL KIM’S FANS ARE COMING FROM, BUT ON THE OTHER HAND I FEEL BAD FOR HER BECAUSE BOYCOTTING HER IS TOO EXTREME. PLUS SHE’S HAD IT ROUGH IN THE INDUSTRY FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS.
Lil’Kim WILL NOT be returning to the rap game POINT, BLANK, PERIOD so all you Lil’Kim d*ck riders need to LetItDaFuqGo! I say d*ck riders because nobody was even thinking about Kim until her beef with Nicki and over half of Kim’s fans are now undercover Nicki fans. Nuff Said
I NEVER ONCE FORGOT ABOUT LIL KIM. HOW CAN ANYONE FORGET HER..SHOOT EVEN NICKI CAN’T FORGET HER, KIM’S THE ONE WHO NICKI’S CAREER TRYNA MIMICK.
Is her boyfriend retarded? Who’s gonna buy his music if he’s being a d*****?
