Everyone she was loyal too shitted on her 😢
Yup
And you know that how? Because she was sitting up trying to justify getting bad surgery? She had low self esteem because she was trying to look like other women
@@AnAdorableWombat1 how does that relate to what they're saying?
No lies told
@@AnAdorableWombat1 wow you're mean
Kim's career just never recovered after she was released from prison. Her relationship with Atlantic records had went bad and I believe she had to pay out the remaining of her contract. During those first few years out she couldn't officially release music, which led to her doing mixtapes. After that she kept promising new music but kept getting setbacks. She separated from her long-time manager Hillary Weston and got a new team. She also was aligning with unknown artists (FBI) that never amounted to anything. She had plenty of offers from other label's, but apparently they weren't great contracts that someone of her caliber would sign, and that's understandable. With so many setbacks and hurdles, Nicki Minaj came along as the new it girl with a good label and team to steamroll her way to the top. Kim started changing her sound to auto tune and more singing than what worked for her. Her 9 album was okay but it really didn't hit hard as her previous albums. As of today she still does shows and make appearances. Her legacy in hip hop has been cemented. 💯
Well said 💯
Exactly,
Honestly this! Kim just did bad business, her momentum ended when she left Atlantic and a record label in general! An artist like herself needs a major machine backing her up and pushing her image, however ever since she went on doing mixtapes and surrounding herself with yes men.. Her sound and image tarnished and became mediocre.. Broken promises about a book, documentary, part 2 to her fifth album, more appearances.
She is outside, she just performed in Miami last week
Either way kim is a real one
Ain’t nothing happen. She’s older and she’s a mother and now she’s living her life on her OWN TERMS!
Lil Kim is starting to look like Latoya Jackson
Yeesss!😮
She kinda look like misa hylton puff baby mom..stylist and Justin combs mom.
@@bunnysb2587 You clearly don't know what Latoya Jackson looks like
Now that you mentioned it...
LiL Kim style to get known in plastic surgery. It's because. That was messing her up in all of them. Abusive relationships she was in.
Kim looked like a Barbie doll back in the 90’s and early 2000’s, but she wasn’t satisfied. A little nip/tuck here and there was okay, but she took it too far. Momma got off the surgery table looking like a thundercat.
SHES THE QUEEN OF RAP. nicki stole black barbie, queen bitch radio, lyrics, friends, stylists and more and should be sued for plagiarism.
Awwwww u mad 😆😆😆😆. Google The Queen of Rap 🤡. Kim is a hasbeeeen hang it up flatscreen!!!!!
Wait you never mentioned when Lil Kim got out of jail she did Hollywood and a lot of TV shows like y’all can’t skip over that that’s where her money mostly came from tv after jail
I like the current Kim. She has perfected her lyricism and looks to be in a happy place in life. People say that she has surgeries, but I think it's just the nose. Kim just got lighter due to being inside the house over the years. I hope she releases a new project this year. A few songs with Foxy, Eve, Nicki, and 50 would shake up the industry.
"Kim got lighter due to being in the house" bro you don't go fucking four or five shades lighter like that tf 😭 you definitely get paler but she's absolutely bleached her skin
@@msnicotianaKim used to tan.
She used to be brown skin now Lil kim is tan
Glad you are creating Poncho!!
Not me finding this video after coming on TH-cam because I MISSED lil Kim and wanted to watch old videos of hers 😂😂😩 I really miss Kim being active!
After fame. Kim is still famous TF !?
I love how you showed soo many good iconic videos of her you definitely made my day because i really adore lil kim she did this video perfectly and classy
I still can't get over how gorge her younger self was in comparison to what she did to herself now!😢🤔
The only female rapper i respect
The two of the best.
She's the Blueprint She will always be the Queen of rap
And to Answer your question she's in her castle chilling like the queen she is.
🐝💥>>👑
7:39 and the “Dirty Money” shoutout✨
Queen is still doing her thing in 2024
Lil’Kims always outside ‘ she’s the original queen of rap!
LIL’KIM IS THE QUEEN OF RAP PERIOD!!!!!!
And NOT!
If you talk about her plastic surgery before and after, please make sure you know what a before picture looks like cause most of these “before” pictures are well after plastic surgery.
ALLEGED plastic surgery????? 😭
He’s just playing it safe in case he gets sued. So they will still say ‘allegedly’ even though it’s true.
He's being kind
Yes bro those cheekbones gotta be natural 💀
@@crazyimaginations1244 She's adorable
It’s allegedly because a lot of the stuff they say isn’t true. However she has had work done…
We Love kim , loved her then love her now , I want to see she get her name back , slim down come back with a club hit, so we're all waiting lil kim, we want you to stop dicking around and come back as the hard core Queen Of rap
Hey Rap Lore, how can I contact with you?
Damn, it’s so crazy how the truth can get twisted up and retold like it’s a fact. None of what you said about the Kim and Nicki beef was accurate. Which leads me to believe you either truly do not understand or witnessed the timeline of that situation or you don’t understand how catty women can be. You see Nicki has always been throwing rocks and hiding her hand. She’s always been sneak dissing her since the beginning of her career. Do some homework with an unbiased mind and you’ll see what I mean.
Kim will always be the queen bee!! It’s literally embedded for those who act like they don’t know. Nicki and them other snakes tried to wash Kim away and failed. As for the surgery, she had to undergo nose procedures due to abuse, and her makeup team made it worse lol.. but Kim looks good nowadays
Yeah, Puff Daddy in jail now too what comes around goes around.
But he should have been in jail a long time ago. 😮
INDUSTRY CRAZY 🙏🏻 SHE GETS A BREAKTHROUGH IN JESUS NAME 🙏🏻
Yeah, but you can't let the music industry change you cause they will try.
If you let them
Bzzz... Lil'kim The Queen Bee Is The Queen Of Rap & she still is... Because no female rapper has ever beat her rap & lyricism !!! First... They'll have to beat her first singles, feats. & album, but no female have done that so... She's still unmatched, untouched, & unbeatable !!! Ahhh...!!! Sting...!!! 🏰🫅🐝
Kim wasn't 17 when she met big she was younger than that
5:46 nor-E-aga
What's your take on her transformation? 🤔
I watched an old video where she’s speaking about guys not liking dark skin and her obsession with Biggie and him marrying a light skin woman could’ve definitely influenced her bleaching her skin.
She still famous
First of all Nicki Minaj dissed Lil Kim first if anyone is able to fill her shoes it’s Nicki Minaj
First of all you pay google to say queen of rap
Yall act like Kim is unalived Kim is very much rocking still doing her thing
She’s the only one from her generation still performing
Kim is very important and performing every months this is so false
Yup, Google says Queen of Rap is Nicki Minaj.
She really isn't!!!
@@theinsightfulvisionary0197she really is!
U do know how google work right? lmfao
She think she more than GOD ????? Now is when she's in trouble. Now her career and everything will be falling apart . No one should ever be so self center and DUMB to put themselves up in competition with the ALMIGHTY .. Foolish actions and talk . smh
God only applies to a small sector of our society, there are lots of religions out there
❤
Black woman just don't change her face
She’s my queenbee 4eva
I dislike the narrative that the barbs put out like Kim is jealous of a Nicki
You guys are so mislead not one of n.m . Counterparts respect her you guys just don’t get the industry Kim is still reigning
Why don’t they do the other girls like this the rah digga Charlie Baltimore vita foxy brown missy eve trina ms jade mocha da brat
Why is it always Kim and she so bitter and so jealous
Kim is still much relevant today and just performed with usher
Female Michael Jackson. 😂

Nicki Minaj happened to Lil Kim
Roman* happened not Nicki
Actually I think it's the surgeries that happened to her. Her beautiful image and was so part of her persona. She ruined her look and made it difficult to focus on anything other than the surgical changes
Nah nicki aint got shit to do wit it! Kim was done wit the labels before nicki was even thought of 😂 which is why its strange that nicki was dry subbing the queen
