WORST: Lil Kim And Rich Homie Quan Stumbled On Words While Performing Together
Honoree Lil Kim rocked the mic last night rapping some of her most loved songs, during her performance it seemed like Kim forgot some of the words or chose to omit them. Joining Lil Kim to rap “Get Money”, Rich Homie Quan messed up on Biggie’s part – big time. They both seem really unbothered afterwards, as they should be because the performances were all done in good spirit.
BEST: Faith Evans Introduced Lil Kim
Did we just watch history last night? Faith Evans, singer and wife to the late Notorious B.I.G. introduced his longtime girlfriend Lil Kim during her tribute. More than 20 years later, it looks like the two have finally squashed their beef.
