Her attempts to join Roc Nation may have not gone to plan, and Nicki Minaj may have  blocked her efforts to sign with Cash Money, but now the speculation that Lil Kim has signed with G-Unit has heated up.

Now that founder 50 Cent has given confirmation on the issue.

Find out more below…

In an interview which surfaced online moments ago ago, 50 Cent denied that he and the ‘How Many Licks’ performer had even discussed the possibility of working together.

Addressing the speculation, he declared:

This comes just a few days after it was confirmed the pint-sized star will indeed be releasing new material in the coming months; her first original effort released this decade.

However, this may not come as a surprise to the performer’s loyal fans who for years have heard Kimberly reveal her desire to remain an independent artist after her contract with Atlantic Records came to an end.

This may come as bad news for supporters of the icon who were hoping inking a deal with a label would help push her upcoming project, which both she and her team are hoping will put her back to where she was in her glory days.

With Missy Elliot plotting her return to the scene and Nicki Minaj currently the reining Queen of Commercial Rap, will not signing to a major label hurt Kim’s chances of chart resurrection?
