Independence Day came a day early for the dirty-talking rapper. At 6:00 this morning, Lil’ Kim was released from the Federal Detention Center in Philadelphia after serving 10 months in jail. She will remain on house arrest for the next 30 days.

The rapper, who was sent to prison for lying about a shootout outside a New York radio station, walked out of the jail looking glamorous in sunglasses and an all-white, cleavage-baring outfit.

Carrying a balloon and a bouquet of white roses, she waved to dozens of cheering onlookers some carrying signs that said, “Welcome Home, Queen Bee” before getting into a silver Rolls Royce. The car pulled into a nearby parking lot where she re-emerged to greet the throng. [more @ ABC News]

The moral of the story is this
You aint lickin’ this, you aint stickin’ this
And I got witnesses, ask any nigga I been with
They aint hit shit till they stuck they tongue in this
(Lil Kim — Not Tonight)

In honor of the Queen Bee’s release, we’ll revisit an old upskirt photo taken during a concert. She came out wearing no panties and lucky fans caught a glimpse of the platinum pussy.
