NEW YORK (AP) - Rap diva Lil' Kim was convicted Thursday of lying to a federal grand jury to protect friends involved in a shootout outside a radio station.

Lil' Kim and her assistant were both convicted of perjury and conspiracy but acquitted of obstruction of justice. They each face up to 20 years in prison; sentencing was set for June 24.

The 29-year-old former sidekick and mistress of the late Notorious B.I.G., known for her revealing outfits and raunchy raps, testified that she did not notice two close friends at the scene of the 2001 shootout - her manager, Damion Butler, and Suif "Gutta" Jackson. Both men have since pleaded guilty to gun charges.

"You would have to believe they were magic sunglasses that only block out your friends who were shooting people," Seibel said.

There have been many high profile cases in motion the past few months. Entertainment shows, or should I say "News" programs, are loving it.

What's the minimum she can get? 20 years is fucking crazy. Even when they get this crazy amount of money, rappers can never just chill the fuck out and enjoy their wealth. See: C-Murder

I'd feel bad... but this is Lil Kim.

She probably should've taken the advice outta Hit Em Up: "Lil Kim, don't fuck around with real G's..."

At most, she'll get a year of probation and a hefty fine.

You know, most rappers aren't as rich as they claim to be.

If she ever gets prison time, she can just reconstruct her face as a prison guard, and walk right out.
