Female hip-hop artist Lil'' Kim reveals that she and the late rap artist Notorious B.I.G. were ''two peas in a pod'' while filming her portion of the tribute package for The Notorious B.I.G. for VH1's Hip-Hop Honors premiering Monday, September 26 at 9pm.

Even in the midst of her impending jail stint and allegations that she used the death of Christopher ''Notorious B.I.G.'' Wallace to further her career, music artist Li''l Kim had nothing but love for the big guy when she sat for an interview to discuss their life together with VH1's Fab Five Freddy for the VH1 Hip-Hop Honors, paying tribute to the legendary rapper on Monday, September 26 at 9:00 PM.

Li''l Kim reminisced about their old Brooklyn neighborhood and how the then unknowns shared a love for rap music. When Kim rapped for "Biggie" on a street corner one day, she says it was instant chemistry. "We became a duo right then and ever since; never left his side, never left my side." She recalled how he gave her her monikers Li''l Kim and Queen B. "He said I needed a nickname that really represented who I was because, ''I ain''t callin'' you Li''l Kim all day.''" Kim remembers with great affection how Biggie declared she was ''his b#$*#'' and when she was really angry, she was a ''Queen B#$*#''. The moniker stuck and the rest as they say is history.

Ironically, Voletta Wallace, the mother of the the late rap artist Notorious B.I.G. who is writing a tell-all book painting a dark light on Lil’ Kim's relationship with her late son, will be present at the VH1 Hip Hop Honors for the tribute to his memory. Even more ironic is his widow, hip-hop and R&B songstress Faith Evans, will perform the musical tribute to him.
