NEW YORK (Aug. 31) - Rap diva Lil' Kim made a triumphant return to the music world Thursday after nearly a year in prison, appearing at the MTV Video Music Awards in an orange jumpsuit and flanked by men dressed as prison guards.
The rapper, whose real name is Kimberly Jones, was released from prison last month after serving time for perjury in a case involving a shootout between rival rappers in 2001 in New York. She was jailed last September and released in July.
"The girl is back," Lil' Kim told a cheering crowd at New York's Radio City Music Hall, after stripping off a mock prison jumpsuit to reveal a glamorous evening dress.
Lil' Kim presented the first award of the night, for best male video, to British singer James Blunt for his hit song "You're Beautiful."
"Y'all know I've been around a lot of girls for the past year so it makes me so excited to introduce the award for best male (video)," the diminutive hip-hop star said, making light of her time in prison.
"You can't keep a good bitch down," she added.
