Lil' Kim On A Junior M.A.F.I.A. Reunion: Not A Chance

Lil' Kim made her debut in the music industry as part of the Junior M.A.F.I.A. but chances of a full-scale reunion of the group the Notorious B.I.G. handpicked himself are minimal.
The Queen Bee told us during Thursday's edition of "RapFix Live" that in spite of the crew once being a tight-knit musical family, her continued disassociation with fellow M.A.F.I.A. member Lil' Cease prevents her from ever reuniting with the crew.
"No. Next question," Kim said when asked by host Sway if there was a chance of a reunion. Asked about a possible Junior M.A.F.I.A. album, her response was equally terse: "Never."
The Junior M.A.F.I.A. — Lil' Cease, Lil' Kim, MC Klepto, Nino Brown and company — was conceived by B.I.G., who signed the group to Atlantic Records via the Undeas Entertainment imprint with his business partner Lance "Un" Rivera. Thanks to breakout performances on hits like "Get Money" and "Player's Anthem," from Junior M.A.F.I.A.'s debut album, Conspiracy (1995), Lil' Kim was able to launch her own solo career.
Her solo debut, Hardcore, was released a year later and is considered a hip-hop classic. Lil' Cease would release his own solo album, The Wonderful World of Cease a Leo, in 1999, two years after B.I.G.'s untimely death. But Cease and Kim had a falling-out shortly thereafter, with the Queen Bee suing her fellow Brooklyn native for $6 million in 2005 over a Junior M.A.F.I.A. DVD.
Last year, Lil' Cease told MTV News that a Junior M.A.F.I.A. reunion "needed to happen." But even when pressed, Kim maintained that the chance of reconciliation with Cease on a personal level was slim, at best.
"At this point I would say never," Kim declared. "Only God directs my life so I can't say if I would ever speak to him in the future. But at this point, no. I have not seen a single change and then I've seen a bunch of talk and a bunch of contradictions, so no."
Do you think Kim and Cease should bury the hatchet? Let us know in the comments.

Tyler Perry has yet to crack the Oscar ceiling, but the multi-hyphenate took home the gold at the NAACP Image Awards Friday night (March 4), winning Best Director and Best Picture for his "For Colored Girls. The flick also nabbed a statue for co-star Kimberly Elise, who won for Best Supporting Actress.
Based on Ntozake Shange's 1974 Broadway hit "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf," Perry's film follows the lives of nine black women in and around Harlem, all of whom are confronted with an interpersonal crisis.
While ostensibly about trouble and heartbreak, the flick is really about "basic human love and regard for one another," Elise told MTV News.
"[It's a] great statement on sisterhood and community," Elise said of the movie. "I think you do leave the film feeling like, 'I am woman, I can do this, I can stand on top of this pain and especially with my sisters around me.'"
To nab the award, Elise had to best three of her co-stars from the ensemble flick, Anika Noni Rose, Phylicia Rashad, and Oscar winner Whoopi Goldberg. The fifth nominee, Jill Scott, was also singled out for her performance in a Perry flick, "Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Too?"
Among other film winners, double Oscar winner Denzel Washington took the trophy as Best Actor for "The Book of Eli," Halle Berry won Best Actress for "Frankie & Alice," and Samuel L. Jackson nabbed Best Supporting Actor for his turn in "Mother and Child."
In the musical categories, Usher, who recently agreed to donate to charity all proceeds from an appearance at a New Year's Eve concert linked to Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, won Best Male Artist and Mary J. Blige won for Best Female Artist.
Presented by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the NAACP Image Awards celebrate "the outstanding achievements and performances of people of color in the arts," according to their website.
