“Leave My Manager Alone”: Rapper Lil’ Kim Unveils Nick Cannon As Her New Manager

YourBlackWorld.net, By Ryan Steal, Posted November 4th 2021

Lil’ Kim has a new management. Since her entry into the music industry in the mid-’90s, the New York rapper has gone on to become a top-charting artist, a fashion trend setter, and a movie star.

Kim, whose real name is Kimberly Denise Jones, is 47 years old and has a lot more in waiting for her fans. So much so that she’s enlisting the services of Nick Cannon.

The “Crush on You” emcee disclosed a lot of information to host King Keraun during a recent appearance on Complex’s interview series “Hiking with Rappers,” including that “she never hiked a day” in her life and doesn’t like it. Kim also revealed that the long-time television personality is assisting her in making career decisions, including resuming acting.

She explained, “I just shot a movie with Nick Cannon.” “Nick Cannon, people don’t even know, like he’s one of my best friends. We’ve been best friends for years. … And we just shot a movie called ‘Miracle Across 125th Street.’ I really did that movie for Nick, but I love doing movies.”

“Nick is convincing me,” the “Magic Stick” rapper said, before adding, “You know he’s my manager?” The next chapter of Lil’ Kim’s legacy could contain a lot more acting, as he told host Keraun. 

“I did not know that,” Keraun said, referring to Cannon’s several newly born children. “Your manager has like 20 children!” The artist, on the other hand, was eager to defend her manager, saying, “Leave my manager alone!”

The announcement of Cannon’s new job comes on the heels of news that his self-titled talk show didn’t do as well as predicted. According to ShowBiz 411, Cannon’s show barely attracted 400,000 views after starting on Sept. 27, putting it at the bottom of the talk show heap.

As a result of the numbers, claims that Cannon’s show will take the place of Wendy Williams’ show have been debunked. Williams is currently on the sidelines due to serious health challenges. Her show has been on the air for several years, but barely 600,000 people watch it, illustrating that anchoring a midday talk show isn’t a piece of cake.
