Someone reportedly stole $250,000 worth of jewelry from Lil' Kim [ tickets ]--including her signature "Queen Bee" necklace--while she was at New York's Kennedy International Airport on Friday (6/20).

The rapper said she accidentally checked a Louis Vuitton bag packed with $500,000 worth of gems that she was carrying to the Black Entertainment Television Awards, according to the New York Daily News. Once she realized her mistake, her flight was delayed so that the bag could be pulled from the cargo hold. When she looked through the bag, she found that many of the most valuable pieces of jewelry were gone.
