With the BET Awards taking place, most of the stars of urban entertainment were there. Many stars, some of which are well past their prime, still attend the ceremony. A few years ago, Lil' Kim was actually an integral part of BET. Before going to prison, she had a show on the network.

Around the time she had her show was the last time Lil' Kim released an album. In the years since, fans have waited for her to come out with a new album. During the wait, Nicki Minaj emerged as a force, much to Lil' Kim's dismay. Because of Nicki, many assumed Lil' Kim would attend the ceremony.

Through Twitter, Lil' Kim said she would definitely not be attending the BET Awards. Instead, the Brooklyn rapper attended the Gay Pride parade in New York City. Lil' Kim had her own float in the parade and she also performed, following the ceremony. Currently, she is working on a new album and considering signing with G-Unit Records.
