Hot Shots: Lil’ Kim Takes Control In Zimbabwe

Published: Sunday 29th May 2011 by David

The state of her career may be out of control, but that didn’t stop Lil Kim from delivering a commanding performance at Zimbabwe’s ZarFest.

Channeling her inner Cobra Commander, the former jail bird treated fans to renditions of some of her much loved music from yester-year at the music festival which also saw performances by Ciara and Timbaland.

The ‘How Many Licks‘ performer’s feud with Pop sensation Nicki Minaj became a hot topic again this week when the lyricist Eve weighed in on the situation just days ago.

Check out more shots from the Queen Of PayPal below…

  3. Bianca May 29, 2011

    LMAO at these reads by TGJ. “Her career maybe out of control”, “the former jail bird”, “the Queen of PayPal”. I CAN’T.

  6. Star May 29, 2011

    awwwww!!
    Kim has her “Mandingo” in Africa that’s why she keeps going there Lol 😉

  7. LIFEE May 29, 2011

    Say what you want about Lil Kim but one thing she never failed to do is deliver RAW HIPHOP/RAP, something your “Pop sensation” fails to do

  8. khoryz May 29, 2011

    Also, you got that right. Nicki is indeed “pop” lol aka Not Hip Hop like the QUEEN. And sure, she the queen of paypal too. Nicki sold her mixtape on Paypal too…. but you dont hear nothin bout that cuz nobody bought that s***. 🙂

  9. I’M DA BLU-PRINT YOU NOTHIN BRAND NEW May 29, 2011

    These maggot blog writers STAY with Blanco Fever hating on the Queen B****.

    Awwww you stale f*** really dedicated your Sunday to throw bacon bits at Kim.

    How sweet.

    Kim should be happy her mind control is so strong that her influence is reaching all the way from the mother land.

    Hi Haters we see you!!!

  10. Lisa281 May 29, 2011

    Love lil kim.

  11. HoustonGirl May 29, 2011

    You you got it right.Nicki is Pop not Hip Hop.

  12. C May 29, 2011

    Yesssssss Kim go hard in the paint!

  13. YOUR Queen! May 29, 2011

    Honestly, Kim is a joke but music wise her >>> Nicki Minaj. ‘How Many Licks’ alone shits on all those garbage POP tracks Nicki releases.

  14. YOUR Queen! May 29, 2011

    Is this the same event Cedric is headlining btw? *giggles* 🙂

  15. Diane May 29, 2011

    Video please.

  16. mobwife May 29, 2011

    LIL KIM is and will forever be THE QUEEN OF HIP HOP! Nicki Minaj had a good pop-rap CD for those who like that sort of thing but, she is not the queen……pink, black, blue or any other color!

    ” the former jail bird treated ” <— This was uncalled for. You had a post with Lil Wayne featured yesterday and I didn't see a similar swipe at him about his time behind bars!

    Get it KIMMY BLANCO! I'm sure you gave a commanding performance as usual!! Haters are going to hate……WHAT'S NEW????

  17. mobwife May 29, 2011

    Oh and I’m loving the outfit!! 🙂

  18. _Bawse May 29, 2011

    LMFAOOOO @ WHOEVER WROTE THIS ARTICLE. HILARIOUS

  19. aisha May 29, 2011

  20. chrisj May 29, 2011

  21. SWEET (A.K.A. ICON) May 29, 2011

    Kim is just a mess. She’s look more and more like a t*****. Ew.

  22. truth May 29, 2011

    Say what you will about kim, but her fit is always on point and she can rock a show like no other. nicki needs to take lessons from kim about how to command a stage and perform

  23. SHESDUMB May 29, 2011

    *SCROLLS DOWN TO SEE THE PICS OF KIM*

    WHAT THE HELL?????

  24. Part Of The Blanco Family May 29, 2011

    SHOUTOUT to the beautiful people in this thread who are showing Lil Kim love… yes Kim looks hot! i never thort shed rock a hot outfit like that. im SURE she killed it! plus the LOVE her over there… one thing i love about kim, is not matter how hard they try to stop her, no matter what they say, she still gets money and she still does her thing…
    and MAD people on twitter was attacking her and she didnt even do s***. lil kim clearly stays on the mind. and she’s keeping #TeamMinaj mad. shes doing sumthin right

  25. Part Of The Blanco Family May 29, 2011

    AND HER HITS are not yester year, her last official single was in 2009, if she was so horrible and old. why did nicki minaj say she wanted to fill kims shoes, why is nicki working with her old team, why did nicki remix kims biggest hits… this website seriously needs to find a hobby because they throw TOO MUCH shade to Lil Kim.. can y’all be professsional for once.. but i guess this website is built on that and if y’al didnt throw shade no1 would come here

  26. Dave May 29, 2011

    Kim >>>>>>> She looks good by the way.

  27. JR May 29, 2011

    I always like Kim… growing up I was more and still am a Foxy Brown fan when it comes to rap, freestyles and delivery. Nonetheless coming from an era where real recognize real, you have to give Kim nothing but props and love. Why? Because she paved the way for many, set the trends that artist after her have followed. I dare not hate on anyone but I did and still do appreciate the artist Lil Kim!

  28. Kisses. May 29, 2011

    Love ya, Queen 🙂

  29. Ayo_ronnnie May 29, 2011

    Throw shade @ Kim if you want to but a least she can perform unlike Sicki!

  50. brittany May 30, 2011

    why do these kim haters care how she makes her money. who cares if it’s on paypal.

  51. antonio May 30, 2011

    Whether you like Lil’ Kim or not, the fact that she’s performing in an African country, that most of the people who commented on this post, inlcluding myself, has probably never heard of, is pretty impressive. I am pretty sure they weren’t paid that much money for these shows seeing as how is is the first ZARFest, but it’s very very very rare that American artists perform in African countries other than Egypt, South Africa and Nigeria, so congrats to Kim, Ciara and Timbaland, for, to my knowledge, being the first American artists to perform in Zimbabwe.

  52. DLOVER? May 30, 2011

    Damn if u do N Damn if u don’t. I think Nicki fans get mad when da Queen Bee isn’t taking shots at Nicki n just doing her thing. Go to Britney Spears site. I hear she’s Britney’s opening act. SMH!

  53. wow May 30, 2011

    i love lil kim and nicki.
    both these b****** needs to grow up.

  54. BAD BYTCH May 30, 2011

    HOTMESS.COM.. SHE LOOK LIKE THE JIGSAW PUPPET FROM SAW BUT ONLY WORSE.. HER BODY IS SO FAKE, THATS THE ELEPHANT IN DA ROOM DAT NOBODY LIKES TO MENTION IS HOW ITS OBVIOUS KIM HAVE GOTTEN ASS AND HIP IMPLANTS…THAT CANT EVEN BE DENIED BECAUSE KIM NEVER HAD BODY OR TITTS. THE FACE IS SLAUGHTERED LIKE HER CAREER…IF THIS IS WHAT FEMALE RAPPERS GIVE AT 36 YEARS OLD THEN I SUGGEST THEY ALL STOP AT 30 AND SPARE US THIS DISGRACE.. OH HOW THE MIGHTY HAS FALLEN SMH

  55. nunu May 30, 2011

    Akon also performed in Zimbabwe a few months ago and for this show the cheapest ticket was $50 according to media reports.

  56. GAGA FOREVER May 30, 2011

  57. majicstick May 30, 2011

    Ughhh..This is why I really don’t come to this site because the authors are BIASED, and promotote certain artists and degrade others..

    Now Nicki is gonna copy that outfit..lol

    But I will say KIMMMMY SLAAAAAYED all of Nicki’s costumes with just one. Just as she KILLZ her lyrically.. And to call Nicki a pop sensation, ur just adding to all the fluff about her..Umm did u see the Billboard Music Awards performances?? Sensation is not what she is… She is an UTTER disappointment. A gimmick,

  58. Speak Da Truth May 30, 2011

  60. DION_ISH May 30, 2011

    She is TEW cute with her Lil self …..LOL

  61. Cheers (Drink to That) May 31, 2011

    Glad Kim is still doing her thing.

    NOW, did she sit down to read what Eve said becuz she really SHOULD take her advice!

  62. Missy June 1, 2011

    I understand there are alot of people who dont like Nicki Minaj and all that but honestly lets just be real for one moment here Nicki has Murked Kims career… I mean Nicki is definitely a Hip Pop artist but you cant take away her rap credential that she had when entering the game… Nicki as able to hold her own with her Rap lyrics… the thing is black people are the reason black people cant get ahead… talking about Nicki being pop…. Rap has incorporated so many genres pop being one of them… Instead of giving credit where credit is due you rather hate on the ONLY female holding down hip hop in the industry… Being verasitile in your music is one of the better accomplishments in the music game i mean honestly who hasnt incorporated pop into there music. Wayne, Jay, Kayne, Jim Jnes, Fabolous, Juelz, Ross, Snoop, and the list goes on… Black people are so one sided and always keep themselves instde the box thats why we cant get ahead… Nicki has found a way to still incorpaorate her style of music but streching it to reach a larger audience… i Mean every artist loves holding down the hood and keeping there street credit but honestly in the music game thats not where the money’s at… Statistics show that black people are less likely to actually buy Music so its like yea we need to stay true to our race but our race isnt even helping us out thats why they venture out into rock and pop because unlike black people white people will spend mney on the artist they like… Bottomline Nicki has the appeal to bounce from genre to genre Kim has the Black audiences appeal only… which is koo but thats as far as your go in todays industry sad but true… People are so ingornat instead of hating read a book and understand that what Nicki is doing is all strategy its not a transformation to POP… Ignorance is worse than hate well unless you a hater…
