^Sources differ, as described by Viera, Bené. How Old Is Lil' Kim, Exactly?. VH1. July 11, 2012 [February 14, 2014]. (原始内容存档于2015-07-05). Those giving 1974 include:
^Hall, Jake. Lil Kim - Music/Radio - Nairaland. [June 9, 2017]. (原始内容存档于2019-05-14). Kim was, however, the first high-profile female rapper to flip the script on female objectification in the rap industry.

^Nguyen-Okwu, Leslie. Lil' Kim still has 'em. [4 August 2017]. (原始内容存档于2017-08-05). Lil' Kim wants to make one thing clear. She hasn't had her breast implants removed.

^Iandoli, Kathy. 10 Reasons Why Lil' Kim's 'Hard Core' Is Good for Hip-Hop. [June 9, 2017]. (原始内容存档于2019-03-27).
