Lil’ Kim, Derek Hough booted off ABC’s ‘Dancing with the Stars’

NEW YORK - American rapper Kimberly Denise Jones a.k.a. Lil’ Kim has been ousted from ABC’s ‘Dancing with the Stars’, along with her professional partner Derek Hough.

Lil’ Kim, 33, who consistently scored high through most of the season, seemed to be winning when she was eliminated on May 5, after viewers voted her out on May 4.

“There was a real shock in the room,” the New York Daily News quoted host Tom Bergeron as saying regarding her departure.

Hough, 23, who won last season with Brooke Burke, has nothing but praise for his professional partner.

“She’s an amazing person, an amazing soul, and amazing spirit and an amazing dancer,” he said.

Despite having been ousted from the show, Lil’ Kim remained upbeat about her time on “Dancing with the Stars”.

“This is one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever experienced in my life,” she stated. (ANI)
