Lil' Kim celebrated Independence Day one day early with her release from a federal detention center Monday morning after nearly 10 months behind bars. Carrying a balloon and a bouquet of white roses, she waved to dozens of cheering onlookers -- some carrying signs that said, "Welcome Home, Queen Bee" -- before getting into a silver Rolls Royce.

Her conviction for lying to a federal grand jury and in the subsequent trial stemmed from a gun battle in 2001 that erupted outside WQHT-FM.

Lil' Kim, who won a Grammy in 2001 for her part in the hit remake of "Lady Marmalade," maintained she hadn't noticed two of her close friends -- who later pleaded guilty to gun charges -- at the scene of the shootout.

Jurors at her trial saw radio station security photos of one of the two friends opening a door for her, and witnesses said they saw her at the station with both.

Находясь в местах лишения свободы, Ким написала еще 50 песен и выпустила альбом, высоко оцененный критиками.

Тюрьма в нашей стране превращается в такое же явление, как армия в СССР образца 1980 года: там абсолютно все сидят, такой порядок, ничего особенного.
