It’s quite easy to play judge when it comes to celebrity life. Day by day, we pass judgement on their style, relationships, skin, decisions and all sorts. Most of us tend to forget these celebrities are actually human beings before anything else; that they are like everyone else except that details of their life are made public and have become the world’s entertainment.
Let’s take Lil Kim as an instance. From time past, she’s been criticized for the vulgarity in her music, her relationship with the then married Notorious B.I.G, her dress sense, her “libido” etc. These days, the criticism has moved to the drastic change of skin and multiple surgeries – a psychological pointer of a feeling of inadequacy or the constant want to be somebody else.
According to a 16-year-old interview Lil Kim had with Newsweek, men in her life, especially her father, are to blame for this feeling of inadequacy.
All my life men have told me I wasn’t pretty enough–even the men I was dating. And I’d be like, ‘Well, why are you with me, then?’ ” She winces. “It’s always been men putting me down just like my dad. To this day when someone says I’m cute, I can’t see it. I don’t see it no matter what anybody says.
The documentary below gives a detailed analysis of Lil Kim’s life from the day she was born till when she hit limelight. The story of her childhood, her life on the streets, her heated relationship with her father will help you see another side of Kimberly ‘Lil Kim’ Jones.
