Rapper Lil Kim is reportedly a person of interest in an LAPD investigation after a house she was renting was robbed by a group of people in ski masks, according to TMZ.
According to the report, Kim is being investigated because of a dispute she and her crew had with either the owner or property manager of a house she had rented for a BET weekend party. The rapper was allegedly not satisfied when she went to check out the house in advance of the party and demanded money back.
When the renter refused to return Kim's deposit on the property, the argument escalated to the point that cops had to be called. After the cops, Kim, and Kim's crew dispersed, a group of people showed up to the house with weapons around 4 a.m. local time, leaving the property with Kim's deposit check in addition to a sum of cash. All told, they reportedly left the rental home with about $20,000 worth of items.
On top of the theft, the unidentified crew who robbed the house slashed the tires of the victim and stole one of the hubcaps off their car.
It is unclear whether the ongoing investigation will impact Kim's scheduled performance at Sunday night's BET Awards, where she is supposed to participate in a tribute to Mobb Deep rapper Prodigy.
