Lil Kim has her sights set on none other than Teyana Taylor to play her in a new biopic.
Full story below…
Speaking with Essence about narrating BET+‘s ‘American Gangster: Trap Queens,’ attention then turned to the long-discussed movie about the femcee’s life.
Addressing the hotly anticipated flick, Kim spotlighted Taylor as her pick for the lead role:
“I have a few offers. I have a secret but I can’t tell you. It’s dealing with me and my life a little bit, kinda.
I want people to know the real Kim. All the stories that everybody else tells, chile, don’t listen to it.
It can only be a girl that’s from the hood that I’m from. I love Teyana, she’s my only other thought. There’s nobody else in the industry at all but Teyana. But, even before Teyana–I love Teyana, but she’s from Harlem–before Teyana, I would love to give some little girls from Brooklyn a chance so I can connect. Really connect.”
Taylor, who intimated she is taking a break from music to focus on other ventures, has already proven her performance gravitas when it comes to embodying Kim.
She famously transformed into Notorious K.I.M in 2016 at VH1’s ‘Hip Hop Honors.’

At the time, Taylor said of the performance:
“I went completely into my Kim bag in the mirror all day long. Eat, sleep, think Kim. STUDIED, appreciated her era! Thank you Lil Kim for your inspiration, choosing me, believing in me and for knocking down the door for other young women that dream big. I am still gagging that this happened”
In the words of Mariah Carey, all involved need to ‘Make It Happen.’

Her name is spelt Teyanna with 2 Ns. And I don’t think this is a fit. Teyanna is to hard and her voice too rasby, need someone soft spoken and softer.
Actually it’s 1 N
lmaoooo gurl shut up& stop lying, nobody wants to see a biopic about some washed up hoodrat from the 90s that turned herself into a plastic white girl, teyana cant play her, she better get one of the wh0redashians to do it lmfaoooooo, and how many copies did her last album sell again? lmfaooooooooooooooo
Nicki Minaj would be better, I mean, she’s be copying Kim since 2007. Kim is THEE MF’ing blueprint for female rappers. And that’s on Mary had a lil lamb. PERIODTTT!!
