Rapper Lil' Kim was charged yesterday with conspiracy to commit perjury, making false statements and obstructing justice in connection with a 2001 shootout involving her entourage that left one man wounded.

She turned herself in at U.S. District Court in Manhattan, where she was scheduled to appear in court later in the day.

Also charged in the case were Damion Butler, one of her managers, bodyguard Suif Jackson and a friend, Monique Dopwell.

The Englewood, N.J., resident was accused in an indictment of not co-operating with authorities investigating a Feb. 25, 2001, shootout involving members of her entourage and associates of a rival hip-hopper outside the offices of radio station WQHT, or Hot 97. AP
