Lil Kim’s appearance has seen many changes in her career, but the look she unveiled on her Instagram page this past weekend has merited a concerned response from many.
In a collage of selfies, The Queen Bee sports a much paler complexion and blonde tresses that has many fans collectively scratching their noggins. In another video with friends in Miami, her new look can be seen again.
“It’s really so sad that Lil Kim didn’t realize how beautiful she was without all of the surgery & bleaching,” a Twitter user wrote. While an Instagram user posted under Kim’s vid, “I love u Kim but stop with the madness u were already gorgeous I liked your melanin.”
However, not everyone was on the bash-Lil Kim bandwagon.

Kim has said in the past she struggled with her appearance, telling Newsweek in 2000, “All my life men have told me I wasn’t pretty enough—even the men I was dating. And I’d be like, ‘Well, why are you with me, then?’” It’s always been men putting me down just like my dad. To this day when someone says I’m cute, I can’t see it. I don’t see it no matter what anybody says.”
