Lil' Kim becomes face of vodka brand

Lil' Kim has become the face of Three Olives' new vodka drink Three-O Purple.

The drink is marketed as "fun, sassy and sexy as the Queen Bee herself". The rapper is said to have been the immediate choice to launch the grape-flavoured alcohol, reports the Daily Star.

Vice president of marketing Elwyn Gladstone at Proximo Spirits, the publicity firm promoting the Three Olives brand, said: "A perfect match for our latest flavour, Lil' Kim is the personification of the sassy, fun and confident brand that Three-O strives to embody.

"We are so delighted to welcome Kim to the Three-O family, and look forward to introducing Three-O Purple to her dedicated fanbase."

It was recently reported that Lil' Kim will appear on Dr Dre's upcoming album Detox.
