McKinnie and Lil Kim have been friends for a long time, so it isn’t unusual they would hook up in some capacity.
I don’t think people thought it would be musically though.
Lil Kim’s blind side will be totally safe recording her new album … ’cause she’s got some serious beef helping her make hip-hop magic … Ex-NFLer Bryant McKinnie.
TMZ Sports spoke to Lil Kim … who says she’s known McKinnie for around 10 years and has the ultimate faith his expert ear will make her project a hit.
“I respect Bryant’s energy and input. When I really started to listen to him I realized that he really knows music and gives you nothing but real talk when you ask his opinions.”
McKinnie isn’t exactly producing Kim’s new album … he says he’s acting in more of an “A&R capacity” but the Queen Bee says he knows what’s hot in music … because he’s the king of the Miami club scene.
McKinnie has always been known for his partying even when he was in the NFL.
