Lil’ Kim experiences freedom once again. Following her ten month stint behind bars at a federal detention center, Lil’ Kim was released back into the wild earlier this morning. In case you don’t remember what Lil’ Kim was sent to the big house for – lying under oath (about a silly shootout).

We learned a bit about Lil’ Kim while she was in prison. She apparently enjoyed her stay, and had time to find the Lord as well. As prison changed her? Not really. She emerged from prison in an all-white, cleavage-baring outfit.

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. The car pulled into a nearby parking lot where she re-emerged to greet the throng.

“I love you,” she said, blowing kisses.

Some fans stayed up all night to ensure they made it downtown in time for her 6 a.m. release.

“It was worth it,” said Shakiyla Williams, 16. “She was the same Queen Bee — fabulous.”
