Cronies Turn on Lil' Kim

MARCH 3--Look, we don't know if this Lil' Kim (real name: Kimberly Jones) is guilty of perjury or not. But we expected a bit more from her former codefendants, Suif "Gutta" Jackson and Damien "D-Roc" Butler. These two thugs, pictured below in New York State Department of Correctional Services mug shots, have ratted Jones out to federal prosecutors who have charged the rapper with lying to a grand jury investigating a February 2001 shooting outside a New York City radio station. Both Jackson, 35, and Butler, 33, have admitted to opening fire at rivals of the female performer outside the WQHT offices. And now they're contradicting Jones's sworn testimony that she was not acquainted with them or knew details of the gunplay. While it's going to be a few years before Gutta and D-Roc leave the joint, we're guessing that the rap community will not be throwing the snitches a welcome home party. (1 page)
