Surely, you all know that Philadelphia is the land of the pseudo-celebrity, the famous-for-this-town, the Philebrity, if you will.
But right now, you may know, we have a real celebrity in our midsts, none other than hip hop star Lil’ Kim. (Er, shush. She’s bigger than Howard Eskin, right?) And although she may not be getting the best treatment in the federal pokey at 7th & Arch, she is in good spirits, according to XXL.
The hip hop mag scored an interview with Lil’ Kim for the April issue, and posted an excerpt of it online. And while the introduction to the interview makes things even worse for kim — “Naked Truth has yet to go gold. It’s sold a woeful 326,000 copies to date.” (Gasp!) — she said she’s holding up and the fellow prisoners are treating her well.
But, you know, it’s still effing prison, and so she needs things to keep her going. But there’s one little girl who’s been able to help her out. Says Kim:
My fan mail is what keeps me going. I got a letter from a 10-year-old girl, and she said, “Dear Lil’ Kim, I am so sad that you are in jail, and I pray for you every night. I started selling lemonade so that I can make money to bail you out of jail.” [Laughs] I tell you, I was in tears…. I will [remember] her for the rest of my life. And when I come out, I’m gon’ look for that little girl.
Wow. This is like the hip hop version of Alex’s Lemonade Stand.
