No-No-No-NotorIOUS [Lil' Kim vs. B.I.G.]

I have always personally preferred Tupac to Biggie Smalls and that hasn't changed, but what has changed is how I view Big. I do have a lot more respect for him as a rapper than I had before. While I prefer Tupac, I can't lie; Biggie is definitely more talented. Not only did the movie open me up to the story behind his tragic life but it also showed me that some men just love women. Big's fat ass was a womanizer. And to be honest, he had MAD GAME. He could spit to any shorty and make her swoon - instantly! And that seems to be the case with Lil Kim. She was SO obsessed with Big [according to the film] that she would do whatever he asked of her, even if it meant she had to compromise or degrade herself. This tells the story of most women who succumb to the role of Ms. Stress. Hoping to gain your lover's FULL affection, you go above and beyond every time hoping that maybe this time will lead to your ultimate desire. I don't fault or look down on Lil' Kim for what she became or what she has done b/c [according to the film] she was a lost teen looking for a way out just like Big. Women never have it as easy as men when it comes to situations like this. They usually do have to sell their bodies, even their souls.

Now with all this said, why is Lil Kim soooo upset about the movie? She said and I quote:
“The film studios and producers involved were more concerned about painting me as a ‘character’ to create a more interesting story line. Even though my relationship with Big was at times very difficult and complicated - as with most relationships we have all experienced at one time or another - it was also genuine and built on great admiration and love for each other."

I don't understand her disclaimer. According to long time Biggie fans, the nature of their relationship was public knowledge. Even Faith Evans applauded the film, which clearly shows that she also acknowledged that Lil Kim was the woman on the side. And most importantly, LIL KIM OK'D THE FILM. Why did she accept the script if her character was fatally flawed? I saw all this to say that CLEARLY at some point, Big really loved Kim. That much is clear. But what is also clear is that the relationship was very sexual, but after a while his heart was no longer in it. I feel like her disclaimer states the obvious and shows that maybe as she looks back at who she used to be, she is filled with shame. And that in itself is a shame. She was young. She went with what she felt. No one can fault her for that. I just think it's disrespectful to the memory of Big, his family, and his fans to shit on a movie that you know damn well is true. If age has taught you nothing, hopefully it teaches us ALL to take responsibility for our actions, even if in retrospect, we aren't proud of them.
