Believe it or not rap icon Lil’ Kim turns 37 today. The Queen Bee recently performed her latest song “If You Love Me” at BET’s Rip the Runway, a show blending both fashion and music. Kim danced with models, rapped and created a familiar hip-hop atmosphere that harkened back to her ‘90s heyday. Fans have been wondering if Lil’ Kim can rise back to the top of the femcee pack following Nicki Minaj’s badly received Grammy performance earlier this year. Check out the slideshow below and tell us, do you think the Brooklyn rapper still has it?
