After inking a deal with Universal earlier this year, Lil’ Kim is reportedly set to find “America’s Next Top Rapper” alongside music video director Little X and record producer Rockwilder.
According to its website, the series will launch winter 2011 and is the first televised hip-hop reality show competition to be broadcast on cable, online, via mobile app as well as digital video player Roku. While it costs $200 to enter, the winner will reportedly receive $100,000 in cash and prizes which includes the following:
A distribution deal from Universal Music
A professional video shoot by Director (Little) X
A single produced by Rockwilder
A feature by Lil Kim
$20,000 in cash
A booking agent
A publicist
And a national tour
While no official word has been given, registration is open for auditions.
So someone pays $200 just to try out. What if they get turned down? That shit better be refundable!
$200 to enter a Music Competition? That is so unfortunate. You know that some aspiring rappers are gonna be gathering their last $200 to enter and may not even get any exposure. SMH.
Anybody who count other peoples money are bums! If Im confident and had talent, I would pay 200. But if Im a bum, busted, checking stats on the economy and not on my grind, then nall, I wouldnt pay shyt.
lil kim’s career<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Sound interesting ….
Whaf 200 bones just to enter…who tha Fu$& ! Do me a favor & Nix that entry fee ASAP u look like ur fundraising for ur new album Kim
It seems like the 200 dollars they collect will be the winners prize money…The show won’t work people are experiencing record losses from this recession and to come out of pocket 200 dollars is just not realistic…like Ashley stated above a lot of people will lose 200 dollars=Angry participants. Good luck with that concept kim…
LOL – I was JUST thinking the same thing…Ponzi scheme of the year!
yall negative fuckers need to get the fuck outta here cuz Kimmie is doing her shit big
Hello! I am representing TNV Entertainment which is hosting the Boston Auditions Dec 3rd 2011 at The Strand Theatre(which is the first stop for the TV Reality Show). The $200.00 fee is non-refundable sorry. But it is great exposure, all artists also gets to meet and greet with the judges and more!

Lil’ Kim is going to use the entry money fee to start her new lacefront wig collection.
Pay to enter into a contest is bizzare……. It is extremely challenging to become a rapper. You need to know someone who is “haute” right now to cosign. If you looking for the next hot rapper why have them pay an entry fee. Even open mic is a bit crazy b/c you have to basically pay the promoters.
I hope the show works out if it makes it . . .
Didn’t Missy do that on UPN years ago? It wasn’t all rappers, but that girl who won is nowhere to be found.
Oh my oh my! Those contestants better READ THE *RULES & REGULATIONS* Cuz Kim will run w/ ppl’s money! Check it out nothing is happening 4 her and she decides to come back and be relevant again w/ her rip-off contest smh!
$200 USD to enter? Ugh! That money can be used for a studio session!!!!!
ATTENTION ALL RAPPERS: IF YOU PAY $200 TO ENTER THIS CONTEST, YOU ARE A FOOL! PEOPLE IN THIS MUSIC INDUSTRY ARE STRUGGLING AND HALF OF THESE ENTERTAINERS ARE BROKE. THEY ARE CONNING ANY AND EVERY FOOL INTO DOING STUFF FOR FREE IN EXCHANGE FOR WEAK EXPOSURE THAT WON’T DO SQUAT FOR YOUR CAREER. DON’T DO THIS AT ALL. FIND ANOTHER WAY TO GET YOUR TALENTS OUT, BUT DON’T PAY LIL KIM YOUR MONEY TO GET ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE.
Who made the announcement that Lil Kim is charging the $200 fee. Who says this is her show. How do you know if Universal made the rules or Rockwilder. I swear these bloggers and commenters are the most dumbest ignorant azz people! Yall fuk’n retards!
Please! If I was a rapper and I was talented…
HECK YEAH I WOULD PAY.
Those with issues are the non rappers or rappers with no talent.
People spend more money than that, on the daily trying to get exposure out here. Ya’ll definitely don’t know about the hustle in this game.
PEOPLE PAY MORE THAN THAT FOR A DAY’S RECORDING SESSION FOR A DEMO AND ISH SO…
HECK YEAH I WOULD PAY.
Anybody who count other peoples money are bums! If Im confident and had talent, I would pay 200. But if Im a bum, busted, checking stats on the economy and not on my grind, then nall, I wouldnt pay shyt.
You have to be a damn fool to pay 200.00 to enter this contest. Kim is a damn fraud.
200.00 to enter a contest. SERIOUSLY! I mean I have seen at least a maximum of 50.00 as an entrant fee but 200.00
That is how they will make up the prize money of only 20,000.00 then they bank the rest. This is PATHETIC! They are playing on the emotions of ppl who Really, Really, want to make it.
nobody should pay money to enter a contest,thats a fucking scam,kim needs to worry about her carrer in stead of trying to worry about someone else
LOL I give them my 200 dollars and don’t win. oh HELL NO
What happen to Miss Rap Supreme?
