Lil' Kim's looks have changed in a big way.

The rapper posted a selfie on Instagram Sunday where she sported bleach blond hair and a lighter complexion.

Many took to social media to comment on her appearance.

"You destroyed you natural beauty Black Is Beautiful...you made yourself to a doll.shame you didn't love yourself enough but I won't judge just pray for you," wrote one user.

Another added, " Umm when did Lil Kim become a blonde white girl? Lol."

Some fans were more supportive:

"A big change from the old Lil Kim but gorgeous either way."

This isn't the first time the 41-year-old rapper has come under attack for her ever-changing looks. Lil' Kim has always been one for changing up her look, but the rapper looked barely recognizable in a collage of snaps she uploaded to Instagram on April 24, 2016. Showing off bleached hair, lighter skin and dramatically different facial features, fans have been speculating that Lil' Kim has gotten plastic surgery and underwent skin bleaching treatment.

The "Queen Bee" singer had been rumored to have undergone plastic surgery in March 2012 where she seemed to have a lighter skin tone and a smaller nose.

With the amount of plastic surgery she's had, and the amount of times she's drastically altered her appearance, this seems like body dysmorphic disorder to me.

 

[Slayven]

Yeah she clearly have had problems for a while.

 

[SimpleGamer]

The self hate is real.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

It's pretty clearly low self-esteem and dysmorphia

 

[Duress]

Just stop

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

top middle legit looks like a normal white woman and not a some swollen surgery beast.

And for reference:

 

[R3TRODYCE]

I liked how she looked back in the day but eh her body.

 

[BanGy.nz]

Trina won.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

The self hate is real.

It would appear that way...

 

[Keyser Soze]

I did not even know 2016's Racial Draft had begun

 

[Shao Kahn on the Lawn]

It is nobody's business what she decides to do with her appearance no matter how dramatic those changes may seem.

For a forum that prides itself on being extraordinarily progressive, there seem to be a lot of people here who think they're entitled to tell this woman what she should and should not be doing with her own damned body.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Tryna go for that privileged white girl on instagram look

 

[dc3k]

She looks like a fucking idiot

 

[RootCause]

Thats another person. On the bright side. She won't get profiled by cops.

 

[SweetDonuts]

She looks like she belongs in a K-pop group from that Instagram post.

 

[rrc1594]

Look what Gabby did to herself SMH

 

[RootCause]

She looks like a fucking idiot

Not really.

 

[PeregrinSe7en]

so sad

she looked very beautiful before

 

[Skellig Gra]

She's allowed to do whatever she wants with her body.

 

[Galang]

I feel bad for her :/

 

[Strike]

Sad. She's got to have some serious self esteem issues. She should've stopped after the first few.

Look what Gabby did to herself SMH

No...I'm going to check google images right now.

 

[Davidion]

Look what Gabby did to herself SMH

Oh dear...

 

[ThisGuy]

It's a shame women feel the need to do this. She was great right out the gate.

 

[Draper]

Look what Gabby did to herself SMH

Holy shit, that's depressing. She was a beaut

 

[UnemployedVillain]

Look what Gabby did to herself SMH

This must just be a weird pic. Seeing her in "Being Mary Jane" she looks the same as always

 

[StoopKid]

Look what Gabby did to herself SMH

Beyoncé too.

 

[LittleBoots]

She's allowed to do whatever she wants with her body.

Of course she is. That's her prerogative. But constantly changing her appearance in an incredibly drastic way is indicative of a disorder. That's what's concerning.

 

[Arkos]

Dude she used to be so hot wtf. Sad stuff. I hope she's okay

 

[Charcoal]

She's allowed to do whatever she wants with her body.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should

 

[Slayven]

This must just be a weird pic. Seeing her in "Being Mary Jane" she looks the same as always

Man you watch that? I watched the first season and she had ALL the problems, 75% of her own making.

 

[Danis Saur]

Stupid artists destroying their faces... The cycle repeats.

 

[PeregrinSe7en]

Beyoncé too.

no way.

ill have to google that.

Edit: yep she has too. i wonder if these celebs think bleaching their skin helps them out landing roles in films

But why change your appearance if not for other people to notice it?

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Of course she is. That's her prerogative. But constantly changing her appearance in an incredibly drastic way is indicative of a disorder. That's what's concerning.

I feel uncomfortable speculating on her mental health and commenting on her current look.

But why change your appearance if not for other people to notice it?

Because maybe the main reason is for the person to feel better about themselves?

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

The devil is the lie. I rebuke thee.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Look what Gabby did to herself SMH

Fuck, man.

 

[Skellig Gra]

How you view yourself is very important too.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Not digging it. She's lucky whiteface isn't offensive.

 

[Dabanton]

Oh dear. The pressure to 'soften' certain features i.e the nose must be overwhelming for working actresses and singers of all ethnicities. They all seem to go to the same place and have the same nose.

Which is why a lot of them all start to look the same despite being different colours.

 

[inky]

Sosad.

Spoiler

Get it?

 

[GavinGT]

Because maybe the main reason is for the person to feel better about themselves?

Feel better about themselves because they think they look better to other people.

what the shit? When? I blame Dwayne Wade.

 

[Salsa]

i have low self esteem but i would never go this far

lol

 

[Infinite]

Look what Gabby did to herself SMH

Are these even the same people?

 

[tirminyl]

Shit. I wouldn't have believed that was Lil Kim.

 

[Eggbok]

Beyoncé too.

 

[vypek]

Are these even the same people?

Wondering the same thing. Is it really her?

[LittleBoots]

I feel uncomfortable speculating on her mental health and commenting on her current look.

I'm commenting on her current look because her actions are disconcerting, not her look.

Because maybe the main reason is for the person to feel better about themselves?

And why would they feel the need to make themselves feel better? Probably due to backlash from others.
