Kim is asking the court to convert her case into a Chapter 11, instead of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, which would give her the opportunity save the home by reorganizing debts and setting up plans to repay what she owes.
One of Kim’s creditors recently filed a motion demanding they be allowed to take action against the rapper's New Jersey mansion, claiming she missed her June 1 payment of $10,155.47.
The creditor is asking the judge to be allowed to seize the home and sell it off to the highest bidder, claiming the property is worth at least $2 million.
The judge has not yet ruled on the fate of Lil Kim's home.
As The Blast exclusively reported, the hip-hop legend recently filed for bankruptcy and owes $4 million to creditors.
