The Philadelphia unit where Lil' Kim and other women prisoners are being housed is on lock-down, after a visitor attempted to smuggle in a cell phone.
Over half of the female population in the Federal Detention Center has been on lock-down since April 21.
FDC Authorities refused to comment on the case, but sources said they were investigating a rumor that a phone had been snuck in for Lil' Kim, or that the phone was intended for her use.
Lil' Kim's lawyer James J. Leonard Jr. denied claims that the Brooklyn rapper was involved in the incident.
"The rumors that Kim was using a cell phone or had someone sneak a cell phone into the prison for her are completely untrue," Leonard told AllHipHop.com. "While her unit is on lock-down and has been since April 21, the reason for the lockdown has nothing to do with Kim."
Leonard also said that Kim received the standard 300 phone minutes per month like every other prisoner and that she has been a model inmate.
In addition to being locked down, Lil' Kim and other inmates also had their visitor privileges revoked for an undetermined amount of time
