About The Show
The original title for the television series was "Lil' Kim Goes To The Big House" and was produced by Queen Bee Productions and Tracey Edmonds of Edmonds Entertainment. Edmonds stated in the Daily Variety that several networks have expressed interest. BET picked the series up and re-titled the show "Countdown To Lockdown".[1]
The cast included Lil' Kim, her manager Hillary Weston, her two assistants Nate Bassett and Latisha 'Lala' Crosby, her music video director Kirk Fraser, and her A&R Jean Nelson.
Almost six months after Lil' Kim's imprisonment, the show premiered on BET on March 9, 2006 and was at the time the most watched series in BET's 25 year-history with 1.9 million viewers nationwide.[2]
Filming for the second series began shortly after Lil' Kim was released from prison but for unknown reasons, the project was canceled.
Promotion
On March 8, 2006, the entire cast (with the exception of Lil' Kim) appeared on The Tyra Banks Show and discussed the show before its BET premiere.[3]
