The downward spiral that has become Lil Kim‘s career sunk to new lows tonight after femcee dramatically axed her own set at London’s Lovebox festival 30 minutes into what should have been her show.
Full story below…
Held at London’s Victoria Park, the three day event (which has become a staple on the British music calendar since launching in 2002) saw Azealia Banks headline yesterday. Yet, for most, much of the anticipation for this year’s show had been built around Kim’s Sunday performance.
Unfortunately, just minutes before her set was scheduled to launch, a report that she had pulled out of the performance spread across the park, soon finding its way to Twitter:
Tragic.
According to reports, the Rapper cancelled her gig after arriving at the venue late with an entourage of allegedly high handlers and refused to perform upon laying eyes on the stage.
Lovebox organisers confirmed the axing of Kim’s set, writing:
Lil Kim did not turn up to her set on time.

The most unfortunate part about this entire mess, is that Kim missed out on the opportunity to showcase her skill to an audience whose perception of her remained untainted..until now.
For, while her lengthy hiatus and ill advised career moves have seen booking US festival dates near impossible, her ‘Lovebox’ gig would have seen her win on all fronts….considering her ever impressive live work and the fact British audiences are far more forgiving, or oblivious to the mess she’s made of herself of late.
It seems, that despite the support her fan base have armed her with, Jones’ heart simply isn’t in it anymore.
A shame, considering this performance would have gone a long way to encourage US organisers hand her the slots she’ll need to promote her long awaited (and elusive) new album.

HATERS BE COMMENTING FIRST? WOW YOU ALL MUST BE LIL KIM UNDERCOVER FANS. LIL KIM IS QUEEN BEE
Lil’ Kim wtf the problem?…
KIM DID NOT CANCEL. LOVEBOX CANCELLED BECAUSE SHE WAS LATE. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE.
Honestly there isn’t much difference. The main fact is, this was a great opportunity & she blew it by either cancelling or having them cancel her for not bothering to show up on time.
Oh no, she must of left her nose at home again.
An Iggy stan coming for the legendary feMC? Gorl you better sit all the way down
I feel so guilty, she was late because I asked her to add some won ton soup to my order. Sorry girl.
Too busy playing with nuclear weapons Kim?
Lmao *dead*
I like & respect Kim but SHE IS THE NEW MICHAEL JACKSON. Her face looked beautiful natural. NOW she looks a COMPLETE mess
What about my crispy duck?
#YourALameBitch

What kind of delivery service is this Kim? My General Tsos chicken is nowhere to be seen.
Icki is going to have a break down. I can feel it.
Lol, how do you figure? If you haven’t noticed she’s been in a really peaceful & happy space lately. You wish she was on the verge of a breakdown… It’s sad that you need that to make you feel better about your life.
Vile creature. her face would have scared everyone away.
And Nicki wins again. Smh.
#Gremlin
Sum ting wong wit kim le sung?
UGHHHH KIM, COME ON WHY WOULD YOU CANCEL??
KNOWING YOUR FANS ARE THERE. THE F***?
I LOVE YOU KIM, BUT #TEAMLILKIM IS SLOWLY DECREASING. DO SOMETHING QUEEN.
She did them a favor
The Asian joke are old come up with something new b******.
If this is true,Kim,just get married & raise some kids…What the f*** is wrong with this woman?Jeez,she’s taking this one step forward,3 steps back thing too far.SMH…At this point,I wish her everything she wishes herself
So her crew was too high? That’s what happens when you mess with bum ass bedstuy guys. They took an importunity to get smacced in London. Lol. That’s the winning Team she speaks off. LMAOO! And they talk bad about people that’s under a label. Just when you thought it couldn’t go downhill even further.
I must say i’ve supported Kim forever, but.. This is just a hot mess, my sister paid money for those tickets she is f****** pissed!!! Regardless of what all you haters say, EVERYONE was there to see Kim. However from what I’ve been told im not sure if this is true, but basically apperantelyy the LoveBox main stage was running late, and Kim turning up late ment that they would have been even later, so they offered her a smaller stage when she turned up, and no longer the main stage and Kim said no, mainly because her set was due to be streamed worldwide and the stream was set up for the main stage! It’s all a mess but regardless f whats true this is not good for Kim at ALL!!! i’m sure she is disapointed as she has been tweeting all day with excitement but the only way for her to salvage this is to do a free gig for all the fans who paid for tickets
Sounds like someone’s Summer Jam….
But The Way That “Someone” Made It Up To Her Fans Tho.
Kim, how to ruin your career on an international level. It was bad enough the shambles of your US situation, but to mess up with fans who would’ve had the rare chance to see you is no good.
Where else is she going to get an established gig like this?
Update guys, so Lil Kims personal assistant has just tweeted that Kim was not late.. ” Noel Noel @lkl71111 7m
All I’m gonna is Kim was NOT late!!!! ”
I’m not making excuses for her but i think there is tuth in this, Kim has just done a club tour in the USA and no matter what some of you guys think of her there were never any rumours of lateness or cancelations.. plus Kim actually went to LoveNox last night as she tweeted that she bumped into Kelis..
And just saw this tweet from Festivo TV who were going to be doing the Live Stream for Lil Kim, here is what they tweeted before she was ment to go on Festivo ”
TV @FestivoTV 2h
UPDATE: just had word that the main stage at Lovebox is running a little behind atm. @LilKim will be delayed, stay tuned for more updates”
I’m starting to believe the rumours that because of the main stage running late Kim was then asked to perform on a smaller stage and refused
Someone like that should not be refusing any stages.
Club tour? lmao was that a joke?
How sad. Shouldn’t someone in her situation be trying harder than this?
That’s EXACTLY my point…
She make it hard To Support Her….
I’m that Close To Believe God hate her.
Not God,but her…She doesn’t love herself enough to want to succeed.I think she thinks she’s still in 2002
She Doesn’t have Dedication or Determination, She don’t want it so bad, not Enough.
🙄
Ching Chong Ching Chong!
Girls i don’t think she speaks engrish.. 私のチャーハンはどこですか？(Where is my damn fried rice?)
Her face wasn’t ready to the show, her face began to melt like wax at the last moment.
*Rolls Eyes*
They need a real female MC who is a real performer.
*Introduces you to Azealia’s performances & discography* Nicki’s good too though.
Yasss, cannot wait to get my hands on ATM Jam once it’s released on iTunes.

LOL At Your Name. How you know Love Bird is a GUY?
What a disgrace
She needs to just give up now.
Kim, you take two steps forward and four back huh….No excuse for this sh*t. Why do you keep given haters reason???
I’m done with her now. There are only so many excuses you can make for her. Just so unprofessional and a wasted opportunity.
When will lana headline a festival tour????? *Waits for Rosie to come up with an excuse*
But B**** this isnt about lana… i see she & Rosie stay on yo mind tho…
*Deletes 212*
*Plays Summertime Sadness From Lana*
What the f-ck is wrong with her,she keeps sh-tting on her fans and not making up for it,she lucky she have them loyal fans,that she can sh-t on and they are still there for her…she better becareful because people can get fed up with her f-ckry.
and she don’t even have the respect to tweet her fans her self,she keep letting others do it,even her boyfriends she lets dis her fans,and she says nothing about it…..i really think she is going crazy she needs to get up off her high horse.
Sigh. Kim needs to either step it and get it together or give it up and retire somewhat gracefully. This is just embarrassing.
Kim, girl why were you late. You need this, it’s not like your hot right now. Stop playing games and get to work.
“How To End Your Career” a book written by Lil Kim, now for sale for a cheap price of $9.90 only!
Ill begin with nicki minaj reaction to the news the azealia banks laugh then rihanna off this mack on rihanna getting served on stage like seriously some queen There Is One True Queen Beyonce Bow Down B******!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Smh, no matter what the story was that she wasn’t on that stage the reality is like Sam said she doesnt HAVE the ability to just cancel a performance.
Kim AND her fans: there’s a reason why your girl is struggling and it’s because there’s no thirst or hunger for her anymore. Old fans move on, new fans aren’t created…even if the stage was smaller SHE SHOULD HAVE PERFORMED. Damn let 100 people see you and be impressed and give a damn about your music rather than NO ONE.
So now no one saw her streaming OR live. The live folks are pissed, the online folks are disappointed/embarassed/confused. That s*** don’t look like money, it looks like welfare stubs.
