Lil’ Kim pays tribute to Biggie at 2019 BET Hip Hop Awards

OHMYGOSSIP — Lil’ Kim paid a touching tribute to Biggie as she collected the BET I Am Hip Hop Award on Tuesday night (08.10.19).
The 45-year-old rapper – who dated the late music legend between 1993 and 1997 – said the ‘Hypnotize’ hitmaker is still there guiding her and and admitted she will “always love him” after she collected her honour from Rick Ross.
Speaking on stage at the ceremony, which was aired live on TV from the Cobb Energy Center in Atlanta, she said: “I don’t know if ya’ll know what it’s like to have an angel following you all the time, but that’s Biggie.
“I’m gonna always love him and I’m gonna always ride for him.
“I don’t play about him. That’s just what it is: Brooklyn.”
Kim also took to the stage to perform a career-spanning medley which saw her joined on stage by O.T. Gensis, Musiq Soulchild and Junior M.A.F.I.A.
The show-stopping set saw her open with ‘Lighters Up’ from 2005’s ‘The Naked Truth’.
Junior then joined her for ‘Player’s Anthem’ and she also included her verse from Puff Daddy’s ‘It’s All About The Benjamins.’
Meanwhile, the evening was dominated by J. Cole, who took home a total of three awards.
The 34-year-old rapper won best Lyricist, Impact Track for ‘Middle Child’ and Featured Verse for his appearance on 21 Savage’s ‘a lot’.
Cardi B, Travis Scott, Megan Thee Stallion and Lil Nas X won two awards apiece.
