Rap diva Lil' Kim was convicted Thursday of lying to a federal grand jury to protect friends involved in a shootout outside a radio station.
Lil' Kim and her assistant were both convicted of perjury and conspiracy but acquitted of obstruction of justice. They each face up to 20 years in prison; sentencing was set for June 24.
The 29-year-old former sidekick and mistress of the late Notorious B.I.G., known for her revealing outfits and raunchy raps, testified that she did not notice two close friends at the scene of the 2001 shootout — her manager, Damion Butler, and Suif "Gutta" Jackson. Both men have since pleaded guilty to gun charges.
The jury saw radio station security photos showing Butler opening a door for Lil' Kim. And witnesses Antoine "Banger" Spain and James "Lil' Cease" Lloyd, who once teamed with Lil' Kim in the group Junior M.A.F.I.A, testified that Butler and Jackson were at the station with her.

I agree the sentences will run concurrently, but there is no longer any parole in federal cases, and federal "good time" (time off for good behavior) is also very limited (I think to a maximum of 4 days a month).
"She should have called Bill, He could have gotten her off."
Or vice versa.
HOMINA-HOMINA-HOMINA! I've always been VERY physically attracted to L'il Kim. She's just so curvy and CUTE.
But a pretty face often hides an ugly heart, and I don't care for that thug-gangsta crap. Once rappers get rich, all that garbage is just for show.
Yeah, she's a cutie. But trash nonetheless.
No, you are 'Ril Kim
She looks ugly to me after the plastic surgery on her nose and the skin lightening treatments.
She a ho.
Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
You mean she has the same disease as Jacko? In a few years she's gonna ha a nub for nose and be whiter than David Duke!
Yeah. A bad encounter with a Clorox bottle.
"She is likely to be sentenced to several years in prison — a maximum of five years for each count — at her June 24 sentencing."
She faces 20 years. Too bad she isn`t a Democ-rat President, she would have gotten a book deal.
she'll be livin' in a lil cell.
HOLY!. Lil' Martha Stewart Bat'Skank...
The other day I heard my 13 y/o daughter say "You can't spell crap with out rap". She didn't hear it from us, so it must be how how her friends feel.
I told her I agree with the sentiment 100%, but don't push your luck with the words you use.
In more ways than one...I hear.
Lock em up and throw away the key... fewer folks out there grandizing the thug lifestyle the better off we all will be.
Seperated at birth? You be the judge.
