Lil' Kim to perform at VH1 Hip-Hop Honors
Performance will be Kim's first since leaving prison.
Lil' Kim is set to make her first post-prison performance at the annual VH1 Hip-Hop Honors, in a tribute to another female rapper, MC Lyte.
"MC Lyte is at the top of the list when you talk about hip-hop pioneers," Lil' Kim said in a statement Tuesday and reported by the Associated Press.
"She paved the way for myself and any of today's greatest MCs. I'm honored to have the opportunity to show my respect and how she influenced me."
Lil' Kim is not the only rapper paying tribute to MC Lyte. Ludacris, OutKast, Diddy, Da Brat, Fat Joe and Lil Jon are all expected to perform as well.
Lil' Kim was recently released from jail after being convicted of lying to the jury about a shooting outside a radio station in 2001.
