Lil’ Kim’s much-anticipated performance on the Barclays Center court was greeted with excitement by an excited crowd. After an exciting first half of Game 3, fans were ready for an energetic performance by Brooklyn native Queen Bee.

This isn’t the first time Lil’ Kim has performed in the first half at Barclays Center. In 2021, he cashed in at halftime at a Brooklyn Nets game.
According to TMZ, the rapper was asked to perform as part of the team’s annual Women’s Empowerment Game which celebrates “the achievements, contributions and overall impact of women on our society.” He performed some of his biggest hits while wearing shiny Nets gear with the Brooklyn Nets dance team, the Brooklynettes, dancing with him.

Celebrating 50 years of hip-hop music, Lil’ Kim has been chosen to grace one of the five covers of EBONY Magazine for the big occasion. The cover was shared by the magazine on their Instagram page a few weeks ago and has received praise and reactions from fans.
“When it comes to this Hip Hop Game, you don’t want to mess with the bees and for nearly three decades, Lil Kim continues to show us why. From his days with Junior Mafia to now, he always gets it right with a bar that’s smoother than honey with a perfect charisma that’s impossible to replicate,” the caption reads.
“Just like Queen Bee did, Lil Kim’s example of a great female rapper gives birth to an undeniable blueprint with every step she takes. You don’t have to look far for Lil Kim’s impact on Hip-Hop, it’s more evident than ever.”
Many of the comments on the Instagram post were positive, but there were many that discussed the photo being heavily doctored.
“Whoever is responsible for editing this picture should be fired and blacklisted. Immediately,” said one. Another shared, “??????? QUEEN!!!! Undeniable, effortless.”
