Lil Kim

Due to the popularity of the show in prison, Lil’ Kim, the young rapper, is very excited to be a part of  US TV’s Dancing With The Stars’ new season. Lil’ Kim, who became popular after singing “Lady Marmalade”, was put behind the bars for just over a year in 2005. The young talented rapper was sentenced of lying under oath in a New York Shoot out in 2001.

Kim was kept in custody in Philadelphia detention center against the charge of lying to a federal grand jury about a shoot out in a Manhattan radio station. She was convicted guilty of three compounding offenses of perjury and one count of conspiracy with a a co-defendant. Each of the four counts carried a maximum five-year prison time which made Kim face up to 20 years of imprisonment.

While she was jailed, Kim, grew a fondness for the reality TV show and other inmates encouraged her to take part in it. “I’m a huge fan! When I was in prison, me and my girls used to watch it. My girls were like, ‘Kim, you need to be on that show.’ In prison you have to all agree what shows you watch. If we can’t agree, it doesn’t get watched.Everyone watched it faithfully. It’s like the number one show in prison! We watched it faithfully and we were so into it”, said Kim while she spoke about taking part in the show.

Lil’ Kim, who is paired with last years Dancing With The Stars champion Derek Hough, said that she is glad to have been paired with him as  her dancing partner on the show. “I prayed and was hoping to have Derek as my partner. When those doors opened and I saw him, I was like ‘Yes!”, Kim said.
