You know an artist has truly made it when they amass a dedicated, hard core fan base (some may call them Stans) who will stick with them through thick and thin. These fans will stand in a torrential downpour to buy tickets to a concert even though their idol hasn’t released a record in over a decade.
These are not your typical bandwagon rider fans of today who tend to dump an artist as soon as their record stops spinning on the radio.
The list of urban superstars who have such a rabid cult following is a small one. The list includes singers Monica, Beyonce, and rapper Lil Kim.
Last night, Lil Kim’s hard core fans went to war on the social networking site Twitter.com, with Lil Kim’s new “team”. Her hard core fans feel that Lil Kim’s new team routinely sends her out looking like a mess in order to garner negative media attention. The idea is that any media attention is good.
Well, that tactic worked in the past for singer Whitney Houston, whose matted wigs, unkempt appearance and stories of illicit drug use made her fodder for the tabloids.
The battle royal began when one of Lil Kim’s “team” accused a popular Lil Kim fansite of altering Kim’s pictures. The popular fansite, LilKimZone.net, responded by threatening to shut the site down for good. This was all brought to my attention by loyal reader Anthony A. who previously emailed me the hilarious Lil Kim makeup tutorial video that I decided not to post, but all the other blogs did.
LilKimZone.net has the complete rundown of the war that took place last night on Twitter.
Are they defending her or having an intervention for her on Twitter?
She looks a mess…end of story.
I do not…for the life of me…understand how Lil Kim went from a chocolate beauty to a Michael Jackson-esque mess. She looks horrible…just like MJ looked horrible.
Morning all!
Luv, luv, luv the first picture. The second one, Lil Kim looks like a freaking idiot. The team responsible for that mess should be fired! I would not agree to walk out in public looking like that. GTFOH

I agree. There was absolutely NOTHING wrong with the “Hard Core” Lil Kim. This mess right here-HORRIBLE! She never should’ve went under the knife.
EEEEK!
Good morning everyone!!!
Kim looks nice in the first pic, the second picture not so much.
@ Jewelry

@ LaTechGrad
I think they are trying to do both.
her face looks fatter. how old is that pic on the left?
when she was on dancing with the stars her make up always looked nice. she just needs to get a new makeup team – they tend to make her look like a clown
Good Morning! I miss the old Lil Kim #thatisall
EEGADS holy smoly batman she look like a puppet in the 2nd pic she better stop i see another tmz exclusive soon
Lil Kim Jackson is a grown ass woman. That am sure owns several mirrors! I don’t give a damn who does my make up, if I look in the mirror and see it’s a mess! Your fired! Now if I chose to go out in public looking like a MJ reject and a half dead clown, then that’s on me, not my team.
Good Mornting SR Friends
KIM ASHEY FACE SELF….GIRL YOU KNOW THAT MAKE UP TO DAMN LIGHT FOR YO BLACK ARSE…..NOT WHTS UP KIMMY
I miss the Lil Kim from the Hard Core album. She did not look bad with black hair, wide nose flat chest and bunny teeth. Wasn’t nobody checking for her like that anyways, we were all just waiting to see what color fur bikini she was going to rock next, and how much more of a potty-mouth she could be! Lil Kim used to go hard in the paint.
Oh, and Kimberly’s ‘swagg’ team all need to be fired; they on the list right under Monicas management.
My GAWD! she looks atrocious! Da hale happen and why??? chic DOES need an intervention! DAYUM
Poor thing. I have wondered for years why no one has staged an intervention For Lil Kim… and Janice Combs. Smh
#TEAM KIM
She still one of the baddest bitshes to ever grab a mic. Even if Big did write her rhymes she still executed that shyt to a tee.
Monica has stans? Sandra Rose is not only the Monica stan club president she’s also a client.
Guess we’ll see how huge that base is when that album drops.
Stars with stans IMO.. Bey, Whitney, Patti, Diana, Aretha… feel free to add on.
It looks like they are offering sound advice, but it is for naught. Kim has been in Michael Jackson territory for a while. There is no cure for that kind of self hate. Or none that I’ve seen.
Good morning
I agree, I miss the Hardcore Lil Kim. She was pretty, but she obviously is going through some type of self hate.
@ iscream I
regardless if BIG was writin her rhymes, she was still hot. I keep tracks from Hardcore, Notorious K.I.M., and La Bella Mafia on rotation on the MP3.
I don’t know why people become obsessed with “celebs”…they human just like us. But most of us fail to see the greater in us and think these “celebs”__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I am of the belief that you (celebs) WORK for me…I am the consumer. Therefore you should really be asking me for my autograph…ask Tiny…back in her escape day pre-T.I. she dated this dude whose family owned a collections company in the marrietta area near circle 75. here in atl. She came in one day and the dude was like hey I can get her autograph for you…my crew was like…She can come over and get OUR autograph..
That is why it amazes me when a celeberity acts some kind-a-way towards the common man. Really??? who do you think is buying, watching, and wearing you stuff?
Good morning to the FAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! did anyone watch the finale of Let’s Talk About Pep?…am I the only one that has decided PEP needs to take the lace fronts off..because she looks a little Ru-PAUL-ISH!!
ggouch I still can’t get past her nose
@iscream
Monica has stans? Sandra Rose is not only the Monica stan club president she’s also a client.
________________________________________________
She does. “Everything to me” was mainly released because tons of her stans not only threatned Monica’s A&R over at J records but they got him to release the record as a first single. He even mentioned on his twitter about the bizaar behaviour of some of the Monica fans.
I think her album will be very successful, just like how her current sigle is doing very well at radio. Her team seems to be pulling all the stops.
@GG
I saw Pep lastnight. I agree the lace fronts (I guess they look so bad is that even lace front) needs to GO!
It made me sad that of all the men on the show the Asian dude was the best. Do our brothers really need to step it up. Damn!
But the toe sucker did come thru for Kitty with the horse & carriage.
And I think Pep went to 3rd base with him. I really think she let him get a taste
And between Juwmama (or whatever the hell it is) and Pepa they all belong in the same club as Tiny with them freaking noses they have. I thinks Juwmama nose has Tiny’s beat. Ewww and she is such a bimbo. She’ll take a 6 pack over a man with brains. Yeah cause goodness forbid someone try to hold a conversation with her. Freaking Oink Oink.
Miss Kitty is a female whore. She needs a guy who will snatch her by her hair and drag her cave man style. That guy was to nice for her taste.
Jacque…
she mind as well give it up. She will never find what she is looking for. Her azz didn’t even have a date to talk about lastnight did she 
@ggouch #22 I am so with on that, especially that autograph biz. Puh! I wish I would ask someone for their signature on anything but a check made out to me.
It’s like, people get the autograph THEN what? You now have proof that you met another person. And? Lol
LIL KIM COULD HAVE BEEN JANICE COMB’S DAUGHTER….
I LOVE HER I JUST WISH SHE’D GET IT TOGETHER.
WOW
that is just terribly sad.. 
Peps hair is always and i repeat always a mess! She just needs to get a sew in or something.
Kittie, is a HOODRAT! A straight gudda ghetto bird chesse chasing hoodrat!
Jawannaman doesn’t know what the hell she wants. Maybe her & J Kidd will get back together.
Jacque, needs to quit tripping and give birds brother a try.
These are some sick pressed queens who needs a damn life.
I’m not sure who looks worse, Kimmy or Sammie Sosa? Parents, please tell your children they are beautiful every day.
i love kim!
And I always talk about this ish and reference this same pic! I am 100% sure this was at mansion when she was with trina which I figured she used trinas make up artist.
Oh kim, COME ON! It makes you wonder who her close circle of friends are…
Fans needs to learn to stay in there place and stop being so PRESSED THESE QUEENS ARE EMOTIONAL WRECKS.
