“Lil’ Kim not only blazed trails for women in hip-hop, but also inspired the careers of those who followed,” the site reports. “However, life at the top hasn’t been easy, either.
The memoir will also discuss Lil’ Kim “hidden moments of her reign: her complicated high-profile relationships, the misogynistic industry she fought to change through sex positivity, the challenging double standards of self-image and beauty in the spotlight, and the momentous act of loyalty that ultimately landed her in prison.”
“The Queen Bee” is said to be a “true page-turner from start to finish, The Queen Bee is every bit as fierce, empowering, and badass as the woman at the heart of this story — and firmly cements her legacy as a true feminist icon.”
“The Queen Bee” is set to be released November 2, 2021.
