Her IRL demeanor is something that surprises people. Even over Zoom, Kim, who recently revealed she’s now being managed by Nick Cannon, is sweet, warm and honest - inviting, even. She’s opted, instead, to show up as herself. When I have the honor of speaking with Kim, it is clear that she has shown up sans her chosen veil of celebrity. If you haven’t guessed by now, the girl, in this case, grew into the woman that would become hip-hop’s most legendary female voice: Lil’ Kim. And when that no longer suits her, she can crown herself Queen because she earned it.
She can be irreverent, sexually autonomous and “kick sh*t like a n**** do”. Or where a girl from Brooklyn, who stands at only 4 feet 11 inches tall can rap herself into the company of “Zsa Zsa Gabor, Demi Moore, Prince Diana and all them rich bitches”.
LIL KIM HARDCORE ZIP CODE
It’s where kids who have never left the confines of their zip code paint cinematic frames of the luxurious lives they plan to lead. Hidden between perfectly-poised paragraphs of unloading are pleas to be accepted, protected and revered. Hip-hop has always been a safe haven for those who went searching for tenderness in a world that had none to offer. NEW YORK, NEW YORK – SEPTEMBER 07: Lil’ Kim is seen outside the Christian Siriano fashion show during New York Fashion Week on Septemin New York City.
