Iconic rappstress Lil Kim has become a major topic of discussion online after several photos of her obvious weight gain began circulating online.

The photos, which are from Kim’s live performance December 12, 2015 at the BOOM Bash 2015 Concert in Philadelphia, show the ‘Queen Bee’ rocking a black bodysuit onstage.

Many feel that the photos were enhanced to make the starlet appear fatter than she really is… especially considering that her Instagram photos show a VERY different physique.

Did Kim photoshop her waistline to appear smaller or did some online hater alter photos (and video) of the legendary rapper to make her appear like a teletubby?

Check out a few photos + video of Kim’s performance and judge for yourself…

The photo above was taken backstage the same evening as the photo in the beginning of this post.  Kim posted several photos of herself, where she appears MUCH smaller in comparison…

But wait… there’s also videos of Lil Kim’s performance that night that could possibly put all that ‘photoshop’ talk to rest…

Personally, I think Lil Kim was just bloated… sure, she may have ‘tweaked’ a few photos but she has an image to maintain. Can you blame her??

What do you think of Lil Kim’s viral photo scandal?

Was the ‘Queen Bee’ a victim of photoshopping haters or are her ‘thick hips’ telling the truth?
