Former 3LW member Naturi Naughton spoke candidly with Black Tree Media recently about playing the role of rapper Lil' Kim in the forthcoming Notorious B.I.G movie, due in theaters January 16th. Check it out below:
Lil' Kim has spoke out candidly about her disapproval, not only of Naturi portraying her, but against the movie itself, claiming it isn't a truthful account.
That said, celebrity biopics tend to be fictionalized to some degree, Tina Turner's and Ray Charles' stories are both a testament to that, as for the casting choice, I can't really vote either way given the scenes featured in this feature, are neither outstanding or bad, but I can say Naturi was a better choice to play Kim than Christina Milian, who Lil' Kim supposedly wanted.
