Another solid day for womankind. Today, some photoshopped pictures of legendary rapper Lil’ Kim surfaced on the web because some idiot thought her butt could use a bit of plumping. Awesome.
The pictures gained some traction, causing it to become a trending topic on your grandma’s favorite news site (Facebook).
Not all people got the immediate memo that the images were clearly altered, and they thought Kim had managed to get herself a curvier new look. The reactions people had to the Photoshopped pics ranged from horrified to straight up body shaming, neither of which are cool.
Now, I get it. Seeing your favorite rapper with a clearly curvier bod is enough to make you do a double take. Lil’ Kim might not look like she did when she was singing “Magic Stick” with 50 Cent back in 2003, but then again, who does? Even if these images WEREN’T photoshopped, is it ever okay to compare someone’s body shape to Captain Crunch? (Hint: The answer is no).
I’d like to personally thank the bored dude who used his mouse to round out Kim’s bum for further confirmation that people and their views on curvier women’s bodies suck. No matter what size she is, Lil’ Kim’s body shouldn’t be up for commentary or debate, or this horrific treatment. And now, thanks to this Photoshop scandal, we already know some of the reactions she’ll get if she ever does end up gaining a bit, and they’re not pretty.
No matter what size her butt is, Lil’ Kim will always be better at life than any of you, so feel free to continue being miserable. See some people’s glorious reactions to these pictures below.
