Lil' Kim's Bentley Repossessed?
Wha-wha-wha-WHAT!! According to this report by New York's CW-11 channel, rapper Lil' Kim got a visit from the repo man for her Bentley. The car is valued at about $250,000.I know I posted before on the luxury recession. Clearly, the mini-sized rapper must be having her own version of it. Aw Kimmie, keep your lighter up.
Doing time in the clink can be hard on the finances. *Silently glad that I drive a sedan.*
What do you think about this report? Do you think entertainers and athletes need courses on money management? Or do you think they are just like us, trying to figure out a way to live life well and still pay bills?
Thanks to the high duchess of beauty, Product Junkie Diva, for the tip!

that's too bad about lil kim. yes, i do believe all of us, not just folks who like being frugal need basic money management skills. do you have any tips on folks who were recently laid off and are job searching?

Well, record companies are notorious for making bands break up over contracts and lack of money. The car might not even be in her name - if it was part of an advance on a record that didn't make it's necessary profit ammount, she might have lost it anyway.
Moral of the story. Buy a ride that you can AFFORD!!!

Yes everyone should have money management courses. If you think of it, for many of these artist they all of a sudden have large sums of money coming in and many don't know what to do with it. Just because you have money does not mean you know how to manage it.

I am not saying she is ugly, but once you schedule an appointment to go under the knife to alter any part of your body that you were born with, that is no longer natural beauty. Cosmetic beauty yes, Natural beauty no.

She need to put 200 percent in every line she drops now to get a new ride....Lil Kim': Rhymin' 4 A Ride, coming soon!

Maybe she missed a few payments because she chose to buy those boobies and nose job.
Either way, not a good look.

The only "car" I own are my five-year-old pair of Converse. That is how I get around South Florida - walking. Thank God I can still afford chewing gum and duct tape, otherwise I'd have nothing to plug up the holes in the soles of my sneakers. LiL Kim should try walking in my shoes.
