The photos of Lil' Kim, who was born Kimberly Jones, immediately kicked off multiple questions including, "Is that really Lil' Kim?"

It also reignited conversation about her former relationship with the late rapper the Notorious B.I.G., aka Biggie Smalls, who was gunned down in 1997. The pair had a tumultuous love affair, which some blamed for possibly causing Lil' Kim to have low self-esteem.

The female rapper has long been the subject of speculation that she has undergone plastic surgeries. In 2005, she told radio personality Angie Martinez that she got her nose fixed.
"It don't bother me because I told you, I'm beautiful," Lil Kim said. "I love myself. … People think I did it because I had low self-esteem, but that wasn't the case. I think I did it because I was a little too vain."
But the conversation now has heightened into chatter about whether her new look is the result of surgery, skin bleaching, makeup, Photoshop or a combination of any or all. Some observers have worried that Lil' Kim is setting a bad example for young women of color.Sad about Lil Kim and everyone who doesn't feel comfortable in their own skin. We should be taught the importance of self-love.

Lil Kim is an example of how we must encourage black girls & boys to love themselves in a world where we're programmed to hate ourselves.
