Charli Baltimore to Lil Kim: “You Wasn’t Biggie’s Girl”

Love triangle drama surrounding film Notorious heats up

I've seen B.I.G. flip out on [Kim] a couple of times and I was like ‘Why is he flipping on her?’ B.I.G. would tell me she ain't doing what she's supposed to be doing. But I did not know they were fucking for at least the first year we were together.

What’s a nostalgic moment in hip hop history without a lil’ bit of beef? While America is getting ready to go check out the critically-acclaimed Biggie biopic Notorious, Lil Kim, who has vehemently opposed the film since it’s inception, is stirring up her own round of critically-acclaimed drama.

Recently, the pint-size rap star came out and said she was upset over her portrayal in the film.

“They were disrespecting me terrible in that script,” Kim told Hip Hop Weekly. “But the one that sticks out to me was in a scene allegedly when Ms. Wallace came to see one of Biggie’s shows for the first time and I was supposed to be so mad at him about something that I pulled my panties off on stage and mooned the crowd with my (explicative)… What the (explicative)? Come on, don’t you think that would’ve been in the history archives? They’re using Lil Kim to sensationalize their bulls— lying’-a– story. That was the last version of the script I saw, which somebody had snuck to me, ’cause people didn’t want me to see it.”

Kim, who was played by 3LW’s Naturi Naughton (reportedly the show-stopper), says, “There's nothing Faith or Ms. Wallace could do to stop me from reppin' B.I.G. all day. I'm gonna always do that. ... It's time for Ms. Wallace to be exposed.”

Faith Evans brushed off Kim’s fury. “I got four kids, and I definitely don't have time for this type of shit," she told MTV.com. "It's just sad. I don't know Kim's story like that.”

Biggie’s mother, Voletta Wallace, chose to focus on clearing up past skeletons involving her son and Kim.

“I would love to speak to Lil’ Kim, because I need to ask more about this love relationship,” Wallace told Essence.com. “I really didn’t like the way he treated her and I’m praying that that’s not it. Only she can answer those questions. She’s a sweet girl and I didn’t think she deserved to be treated the way he treated her, if that’s the case.”

So far, everyone’s reaction to Kim has been treated with a dash of class. But now Big’s former lover Charlie Baltimore has come from behind the curtain to throw in her two cents about the confusing love triangle that seems to have come back to life in the public consciousness thanks to Notorious.

“Kim goes out of her way to say she was B.I.G.'s girl,” Baltimore told Yo! Raps. “No, Kim wasn't his girl! Straight up! She wasn't! She benefited from the situation because she became Lil Kim. She has a career and she's grateful to a nigga for helping her in that aspect, but she was never his girl! If you're running around constantly saying it, you would think a person with half a brain would say... that don't sound right! That's like Faith constantly walking around saying Oh! I was B.I.G.'s wife! Like... we know you were his wife. You don't have to say it 100,000 times… B.I.G. and I were together. He bought me a car. I mean niggas wasn't doing stuff for no reason. It was no game!”

Baltimore went on to say that her and Evans has had verbal altercations during her time with the rapper, “but it was nothing like with Kim!”

Baltimore says her altercation with Kim never went beyond a shouting match on the phone.

“I've seen B.I.G. flip out on [Kim] a couple of times and I was like ‘Why is he flipping on her?’ B.I.G. would tell me she ain't doing what she's supposed to be doing. But I did not know they were fucking for at least the first year we were together.”

Notorious, which is based on the VIBE Books biography “Unbelievable: The Life, Death and Afterlife of the Notorious B.I.G.,” by VIBE contributor Cheo Hodari Coker, hits theaters Friday.
