Every since word broke that the compelling story of The Notorious BIG was being created into a feature film the response has been very mixed. Will the movie portray an accurate portrayal of how ruthless Diddy was back in the day? How will Tupac’s image be depicted? Last week, various reports confirmed that Naturi Naughton (formerly of 3LW) is in fact playing Lil Kim in the upcoming film. And from I’m hearing the Queen Bee is not amused.

We hear from a very reliable source that Lil Kim is not happy about the selection of Naturi Naugton portraying her. Apparently Kim was asked to be involved in the selection process and gave her blessings to a few well known actresses who auditioned for the role before the film studio turned around to make the offer to Naughton, best known as the ex-member of 3LW without informing Kim until after they had already made the offer. We’re also told that in addition to the disapproval of Naughton, in which Kim’s loyal fans have taken it upon themselves to petition against the film studio, there are also a lot of conflicts happening internally over untruths in the script to sensationalize Biggie and Kim’s personal and working relationship to make the film more interesting. They’ve asked Kim to be involved but there’s a possibility she won’t have anything to do with the film unless they put in place an actress she is comfortable with as well as fix the untruths in the script to make her portrayal accurate.
