We’re not quite sure what Lil Kim is promoting, but the pint-sized femcee is back, and took front stage centre on BET’s Rip The Runway 2012 last night.

It marks a welcome return to the spotlight for the one-time Billboard, now PayPal chart topper. Indeed, recent years have seen her collect her coins by making appearances at cookouts, BBQ’s, and other events of the ratchet persuasion.

Needless to say, her return to the main-stage is one we wholly endorse. And with preliminary reports suggesting she ‘nailed it’, we can’t wait to see if they’re truthful or lies, fairytales, and fallacies. The answer awaits on March 21st only on BET!
