From the Associated Press
Lil’ Kim says she’ll be celebrating Independence Day early this year.
The rapper, whose real name is Kimberly Jones, was sentenced in September to a year and a day in prison for lying about a shootout outside a hip-hop radio station. She is being released Monday, the day before July 4.
The entertainer began serving her time at a federal detention center in Philadelphia on Sept. 19, after being convicted of lying to a federal grand jury and in the subsequent trial. She will remain under house arrest for 30 days after her release.
