By: Yves Erwin Salomon

Rapper Lil Kim was scheduled to perform at the House of Blues on Myrtle Beach next Saturday (May 26th), during National Black Bike Weekend. The performance would have been the second half of her two-part part fundraising drive for her nonprofit, the Lil Kim Cares Foundation. Allhiphop.com reports that organizers have decided to postpone the event.

The rapper's rep issued a statement that read, "Lil Kim would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to her partnering organizations: Motorcyclists Who Care and Krupt Mob, a Motorcyclists club from Queens for their support and understanding. She would also like to thank wonderful companies like Suzuki for their generosity towards the fund-raiser. Through the Lil Kim Cares Foundation, Kim will continue to raise funds and awareness for National programs that assist with issues of homelessness, HIV/AIDS prevention and awareness, transitional living, child neglect and violence against women in the impoverished neighborhoods throughout the country."

The first part of Lil Kim's fundraising drive was an online auction which ended on May 3rd.
