Rapper Lil Kim seems to be at the center of a growing Twitter controversy over some allegedly photoshopped images of her backside, that have caused the female emcee to become the butt of many jokes and memes on the social media platform.
Lil Kim is best known for her place in hip-hop for her many collaborations with the late Notorious B.I.G., and for being the only female in her crew during her time with the rap group Junior M.A.F.I.A. Now, the her name has become a trending topic on Twitter, not because of her music, but because of a questionable photo that has sparked the attention of many according to XXL.
The photo, in its alleged original state, was taken during Kim's performance at the BOOM Bash 2015 Concert on Dec. 12 in Philadelphia, according to the site. At some point, the original photo, cropped side by side with an altered photo began to pop up on Instagram and Twitter.
This photo posted on Twitter by Inspector Cakes is only one of many that have begun to surface.
The origin of the original photo seems to be Getty but the origin of the altered image is unknown according to Page Six but, that didn't stop the tweets from rolling in, using memes and videos to capture and describe the gradual change of Kim's face and body throughout the years. In many recent photos the La Bella Mafia rapper is barely recognizable after having several surgical procedures done. Back in 2014, Lil Kim took the stage to perform at the Hot 97 Summer Jams Concert and fans were completely shocked at how different the 90s rapper appeared according to Huffington Post.
At that time, a rep from Kim's camp addressed the public opinions that the rapper had undergone plastic surgery. "We would like to inform fans, the media, and the general public that this is nothing more than the blog site doing its best to conjure up much needed publicity and what better way to do so, than to take an American music icon and create a fictitious platform in which to disrespect and humiliate," stated C.J. Carter to E! News. It seems history may have repeated itself and people are still taking aim at the hip-hop legend in an attempt to humiliate her with a flood of different memes.
Here are a few of them.
