Lil’ Kim was sentenced yesterday in Manhattan’s federal district court. Rapper Lil’ Kim, whose real name is Kimberley Jones, will serve 12 months in prison for lying to a grand jury investigating two of her friends involved in a 2001 shooting outside a Manhattan radio station.
Rapper LIL’ KIM can enjoy her summer as a free woman after being given a September (05) deadline to turn herself in to authorities. She has also been ordered to pay a $50,000 fine and will face a further three years on probation, once her jail time is served.
Before her sentencing, Lil’ Kim made a plea for leniency, admitting she had done wrong.
I testified falsely to the grand jury and during the trial. At the time I thought it was the right thing to do. Now I know it was wrong.

While many rappers have served time in prison, Lil’ Kim is the first big-name female to do so.
