Lil’ Kim drew a crowd on Manhattan’s West Side Thursday after she was stopped by police for driving a Lamborghini without license plates.
Kim was pulled over at about 6 p.m. as she drove into a gas station at 50th Street and 11th Avenue, the New York Post reported. Cops soon discovered that she was also driving without a license.
Kim reportedly told police that she was licensed to drive in New Jersey but simply forgot to bring the license with her. But it has been reported that Kim is not licensed to drive anywhere.
Kim also told police that she had just received the Lamborghini as a gift from her “boyfriend,” who had it shipped brand new and plate-free on a flatbed from California to NYC. The car did have a temporary out-of-state registration, and she reportedly tried to convince officers that cars in California don’t need to display license plates.
A source said that Kim stayed calm as police were questioning her, but when the paparazzi showed up, she flipped out.
Kim’s lawyer, Bernie Jackson, eventually came to the rescue and drove Kim home in the Lambo – but not before the rapper took time to pose for pictures with fans and sign autographs.
