With a career spanning almost two decades, it is impossible to deny the impact Brooklyn’s finest Lil Kim has made on both Hip Hop and – to a degree- Pop culture.
Launching the well received ‘Return Of The Queen Tour‘ two months ago, the last few years have seen the Rapper reboot her career successfully- following a nasty spat with Rap mogul Nicki Minaj.
However, despite her efforts to appease her ever growing fan base, they have attacked her- accusing her of putting her new boyfriend ‘Mr Papers’ before her career.
Details below…
Forty five minutes ago, the Rapper’s boyfriend tweeted the following message from his home in NYC:
https://twitter.com/MR_Papers/status/224632298312708098″ data-datetime=”2012-07-15T22:31:28+00:00
Unfortunately for him, this was to spark hoards of cruel messages aimed at both he and the Rap Queen, from her very own fans.

Here’s hoping Kim fans learn to show her the respect a Hip Hop legend like herself deserves.
For, while she is yet to spawn a new album, she has delivered on every creative promise made to her base- be it 2010’s ‘Black Friday’ and the aforementioned ‘Return Of The Queen Tour‘.
A tour, which saw her grace numerous venues with a stage show we’d say was her best yet.
In short, though she may not be working to a pace they’re content with, Team Kim may have to accept that her career goals may have changed since her days atop the Rap throne.
After all, with a Grammy, Five Mics and a generation of Femcees inspired by her all under her belt, perhaps Kim is finally ready to settle down and start a family with ‘Mr Papers‘ – who seems to be enamored with her.
Whatever she chooses to do, we hope her loyal fans are there to support her when she does it.
