Rapper Lil’ Kim was realeased from prison on July 3, after being detained there for nearly 10 months behind bars.

She was sent to prison for lying about a shootout outside of a New York radio station… ok I’m sorry, but really, was it worth it??

Lil’ Kim began serving her time in the detention center Sept. 19. She was sentenced to a year and a day in prison, but was released early for good behavior.

She will remain under house arrest for 30 days and be under supervised release for three years. Woohoo! now she’ll have some new “Bling Bling” on her ankles!

Her conviction for lying to a federal grand jury and in the subsequent trial stemmed from a gun battle in 2001 that erupted outside WQHT-FM, known as Hot 97. Lil’ Kim’s entourage had crossed paths with a rival rap group, Capone-N-Noreaga, whose song “Bang, Bang” contains an insult to her from rival Foxy Brown. One man was hurt in the shootout.

Lil’ Kim, who won a Grammy in 2001 for her part in the hit remake of “Lady Marmalade,” maintained she hadn’t noticed two of her close friends– who later pleaded guilty to gun charges– at the scene of the shootout.

Jurors at her trial saw radio station security photos of one of the two friends opening a door for her, and witnesses said they saw her at the station with both.
