While waiting for a flight at JFK International
Airport in New York City, Lil’ Kim claims someone stole her carry on bag, which
was filled with over $250,000 worth of jewelry.
The Queen Bee was on her way to Los Angeles for
the BET awards when confusion set in at the check-in counter and her Louis Vuitton
bag was mistakenly placed with the rest of her luggage.
"She realized the mistake and the flight
was delayed while the bag was retrieved from the baggage hold. Although some
of the jewelry was still in it, others were gone and the bag looked "tampered
with," her attorney Mel Sachs told The Daily News.
A spokesmen for the airport said the rapper has
filed a police report for lost jewelry and the incident is under investigation
by the Port Authority police.
The Notorious K.I.M. is nominated for best female
artist at the BET awards, which will air Tuesday (June 24). Her latest single,
"Magic Stick" featuring 50 Cent is currently number 5 on the Billboard
Hot 100.
