01/31: Don't Believe Reports Claiming Diddy Said Not to Believe "Notorious"
As
we reported on Thursday, Diddy released a video where he talked about
Lil' Kim's displeasure with her portrayal in "Notorious." In the video, he says:
"The only thing that I can say about the movie, that was great from their relationship, is that he really respected her as an artist, as an MC and was into her like that. All the other extra stuff - it was a movie. And Kim will have her chance, her own movie will come out there. Give Kim her chance. Don't believe what you saw in the movie; it wasn't only about that. She was with us, that was our queen. She'll always be the queen. She got every right to feel that way. The movie is really about B.I.G. Don't focus on none of our parts; focus on B.I.G. as the man."
The emphasis is mine. People are taking "Don't believe what you saw in the movie" as sort of condemnation of the movie's accuracy, but the line that follows it is a qualifying statement. With this sort of movie, some of it isn't going to be true. That's just the way it is - it is based, for the most part, on memories and, in some cases, second hand memories, stories that one person told another. And in those cases, they didn't even get the whole story. So, it's probably mostly true, but it's not all true.
And the same goes for Kim's part. Some of it, a lot of it... may be true, but it wasn't only what Kim was about - it wasn't the whole story of Lil' Kim because this wasn't a Lil' Kim movie, it was a Biggie movie. That's what was said in the video.
MTV News' Jayson Rodriguez nails it, in his report, saying that "Puff and D-Roc agree that Kim's portrayal in the movie was incomplete." That's exactly what I take away from this.
