Lil’ Kim Seeks Release from Atlantic Records

 •  XXL Magazine  •  by XXL Staff  •  37 Comments

LILKIM1.jpgLil’ Kim is reportedly unhappy with her situation at Atlantic Records, and is seeking a release from her contract, according to a report from MTV. In a statement, her lawyer L. Londell McMillan commented, “We are having discussions which I cannot confirm the details [of] at this time. However, we do wish Atlantic would release and simply free Kim.” McMillan’s statement contradicts recent rumors that Kim had already been dropped by the label as a result of lackluster sales of her fourth studio LP, The Naked Truth. The Brooklyn rapper was incarcerated on federal perjury charges just days before the release of the album, and as a result had little opportunity to promote the project. In related news, Kim is currently working on the second season of her BET reality series Countdown To Lockdown, which will document her release from the Federal Detention Center in Philadelphia on July 3rd and her subsequent return home.

  • pop a poppa

    i don’t know why she wants to leave
    Atlantic.
    they did a pretty good job with T.I.’s
    project.
    Gnarls Barkley and Yung Joc are
    sellin’ pretty well too.
    she just needs to get on the grind and
    start puttin’ out some songs.

  • MSBK

    why are all you men hating on this girl. plz grow up. this is the queen of rap here. respect her. atlantic isn’t showing her the paper so she has to look else where for it.

  • jon jon–23

    Lil’ Kim is not the Queen of rap. She is just a marginal rapper who was affiliated with Biggie and used that, along with her sexuality to sell records. She actually fell off some time ago.

  • KINGPIN

    Kim is the Queen of Rap. So “Shut up Bitch”
    The new song with Kim , Papoose and Maino show that Kim still got her swagger.
    Atlantic are focusing the majority of their resources on southern and “alternative” artist.That is why her fourth project hasn’t been appreciated and sold more – its like having a brand new car with no petrol. Atlantic needs to let Kim go or stop just simply promising to do all these things for her projects and actually do it.

  • gees dat dude

    that bitch shit not sellin didnt have shit to do wit atlantic her shit was wack the bitch had two videos and a mafuckin tv show if that wasnt enough promotion then damn what the fuck is a lable to do. fuck that bitch if was the a mafuckin boss at atlantic ide cancel that bitch nino brown style and find the next self hatin dick suckin criminal ass bitch cause its a million of em.

    Niggas talk a lil shit, so I talk a lil shit 2, in fact fuck U, and fuck her 2…ya both act like a clouple of black jews…lololol

  • jonjon-23

    If she was a great lyracist and was true to being black maybe she could get more props now. No one could stop her from blowing (figuratively and literally) back in the day, because one of the best of all time endorsed her, and she was over the top with her sexuality. It’s 2006 now and black people tend to get tired of seeing fake breasted, fake eye color, plastic surgery, bleached skin having, wig wearing, wanna be Italian, self hating, arrogant hoes with little true talent. She formed her brand and made some money–now the shit is a little tired.

  • KblackNY

    Kim really has to come hard or go home. The odds are against her. She ain’t been the same since the Great Frank White passed but neither has the Rap game. She has to prove herself or get out the game. The Naked Truth is sick-it’s a Classic but Atlantic did not promote it enough. But who’s willing to risk signing her? It’s a tough call….we’ll see how this unfolds. She better capitalize off the bid she did….

  • Prince of the South

    She needs to leave because her last cd was good, it just didn’t have any push behind it. NY rap is pretty much dead, there’s a few eating but the rest they ribs touching. I think if her and Foxy ended they beef that going to Def Jam would be a good look for her. She can’t go to Interscope, b/c 50 won’t let her drop(Jada and Styles) so Def Jam is really the only place that makes sense.

  • Fuck-A-Popa-Doc

    To be honest I haven’t liked her as much since shes had all of those surgeries and shit but she still aight on the mic. I still believe hardcore was here best album b/c even though she talked about str8 sex she still was rippin shit. I agree she needs to leave b/c her last album was nice…..it needs better #’s than that.
