John Singleton Wanted To Create Lil Kim Biopic Before He Passed

John Singleton was in talks of creating a Lil Kim biopic before he transitioned!

During her visit to The Real Thursday (Nov. 7) Lil Kim told the world that he approached her about it.

The rapper said,

“I’ve gotten so many offers. I’m talking, major offers… even BET, Lifetime, Lionsgate. But the thing is, I had to be ready, and I think now I’m ready to tell the story.”

She said Singleton was the one who wanted to tell it.

“Him and I went [to a party]. He was like, ‘I want you to be my celebrity date.’ But I knew what that meant. He wants to talk, right? So he said to me, ‘Kim, why aren’t we doing this movie? You’re a walking best-seller.’ And I was like, ‘Well, I’m waiting for you.’”

She added that she wouldn’t have it any other way, but unfortunately, he passed before they were able to make it happen.

“I said to him, I always said if I did a movie about my life, I’m not doing it with anybody but you. And then he passed away.”

 Singleton passed away in April after suffering a massive stroke. The iconic film and TV series director was the brains behind classics like Boyz n the Hood, Poetic Justice and Baby Boy just to name a few

John Singleton has passed away.

The film director, screenwriter, and producer died Monday in Los Angeles. He was 51.

According to a family spokesperson, John passed away peacefully at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, surrounded by his family and friends.

“We want to thank the amazing doctors at Cedars-Sinai Hospital for their expert care and kindness and we again want thank all of John’s fans, friends and colleagues for all of the love and support they showed him during this difficult time,” the family said in a statement.

John’s family announced that they made the decision to pull him from life support earlier on Monday.

via NYT:

Singleton, 51, a native of South Los Angeles, was nominated for an Oscar for his directing in his debut film “Boyz N the Hood,” which centered on three teenagers growing up amid violence in his home city. Singleton was in his early 20s and fresh out of film school when he directed the film. He was the first African-American and the youngest person ever to be nominated for the award.

He went on to direct more than 10 films and TV series, including the recent FX crime drama “Snowfall,” about the 1980s crack cocaine epidemic in Los Angeles. His most prominent films after his debut include “Poetic Justice” (1993), a romantic melodrama starring Janet Jackson and Tupac Shakur, and “Rosewood” (1997), about a historical white mob massacre against a town of black residents in Florida.

Singleton has also directed episodes of “Empire,” “American Crime Story,” and “Billions.” In 1992, he directed a music video for Michael Jackson’s song “Remember the Time,” featuring Eddie Murphy, Magic Johnson and Iman.

Poetic Justice will FOREVER be my Fave! RIP Family.

And may you have peace
And may you be blessed
And may your dreams come true
And may you appreciate your reality

I chose peace over chaos and I am proud of my choice

I chose spirituality over materialism and I am proud of my choice

I chose to dream more dreams rather than to live a nightmare and I am proud of my choice

I chose to embrace real life rather than get lost in a fantasy and I am proud of my choice

Poetic Justice

“Every time I write these words, they become a taboo
Making sure my punctuation curve, every letter here’s true
Living my life in the margin and that metaphor was proof
I’m talking poetic justice, poetic justice.” – Kendrick Lamar

Braids are very in right now…and I love it! Im a 80s baby so when I was in middle school and high school they were called DOOKIE Braids. Now thanks to Janet Jackson and Kendrick Lamar they have a new cutier name which is Poetic Justice Braids. This name came John Singleton’s Poetic Justice movie were Janet Jackson rocked fat, long and gorgeous braids.

 There’s a dozen reasons why I love braids..its convenient, easy-to-maintain and cost-effective. With the approaching rains, it makes for an even better hairstyle because it requires zero fussing even when beaten by the rain.

 But as with every hairstyle, wearing the same look for an extended period of time can get boring and tiring and its no different with braids…well not anymore! Gone are the days when ladies wore their box braids packed in a bun everyday. With celebrities like Solange and Chrisette Michele stepping out in stylish braids, more and more ladies are getting adventurous and trying out various exciting styles. I found a few of such pictures showing several creative ways you can pack your braids and decided to share.

REMEMBER even with Protective low maintenance hairstyles NEVER neglect your scalp ♡♥♡
