Lil Kim is no stranger to controversy and that’s exactly what’s trailing the rapper in the wake of the release of her new Ebony Magazine cover.
As reported, the femcee found herself a trending topic after the unveiling of her spread for the special 50th Anniversary of Hip-Hop issue.
Much of the discourse centered on the level of retouching and digital alterations made to the shoot. So much so that the photographer, Keith Majors, weighed in. He claimed the musician used her own editors for the cover image.
Now, Kim herself is sounding off and is sharing a different version of events.
Full story below…
Taking to Instagram stories, the ‘Hardcore’ rapper wrote:
“Who is this? Cuz that’s not the photo I approved or any other content they’ve put out. I always told Ebony it looked like a painting, but they didn’t wanna listen. They said they loved it. It’s the sabotage for me. The funny sh*t about this is that this is THEIR retoucher!”
Thereafter, she reshared various messages of support from others taking up for her:

In both pics, she looks unrecognizable.
And WTF is that nose ring, is she Indian now?
LOL 😂 a disaster. I’m sure Ebony regrets choosing her for the cover now. She looks worst in the unedited version imo 💀
She is a hot mess express VIP, why are y’all surprise?
I don’t believe a thing that this botched bitçh says. She’s clearly mentally ill, which is why she fuçkèd up her face and body. Also wanted a light skinned woman to play her in biggie’s movie.
It’s always some s*** with her and her delusional fans. I believe the photographer over her. History has shown that Kim has obvious self hate issues. That pic is right up her alley.
Gurl we been asking you that question since 2005
Who is this? It is who you have become over the years. Don’t act like you don’t know! We have all come to accept this is you!
She looks terrible either way.
Here you will find a bunch of loser in the comment section, look how dumb and nasty they are.
I wish her fans would stop telling her she’s beautiful because she isn’t..she look like a carved Japanese pumpkin..THE OLD KIM was beautiful, this Kim-telian species looking person isn’t..stop lying to her..she look scary and I often wonder what her daughter thinks when she sees older pictures of her mother from back in the day…I’m still in disbelief that this is the same Lil Kim from the “Crush On You” video..if I was her zi would cry my eyes out everytime I seen an older picture or video of myself..what a waste of a beautiful face
Beauty is subjective. You may prefer her original look to her current look, but that’s YOUR opinion. Scolding her and trying to publicly shame her isn’t going to change her. Is supporting her contributions to the culture and leaving her to work out her own internal issues too much to ask. Maybe if we affirmed each other more there would be less overall hate.
The original pic isn’t really any better. Idk why she thought she ate with that….
All that plastic surgery of course it doesn’t look like Kim. She looks a hot mess body and all ; But this photo did her some justice !
