The red carpet rolled out for Lil’ Kim when she came to Los Angeles during her “Return of the Queen” tour last month. The Queen Bee gives you a backstage pass inside her Hollywood adventures, rehearsing for her West Coast concerts, hitting the studio, and hosting club gigs.

During one event at Factory, she hangs with her idol Apollonia, Lil Mama, and friends Somaya Reece and Natalie Nunn. When she’s not working, she parties with ex-boyfriend Scott Storch at Greystone Manor and grabs a bite to eat with her crew at P.F. Chang’s (check out their fortune cookie readings).

But the highlight of her trip was her performance at the L.A. Pride Festival, where she received a plaque from the mayor of West Hollywood.

“This has to be one of the best days of my entire life,” said a humbled Kim as she accepted the honor.
