Lil Kim Shares reasons She Did Face Surgery.

After the recent ‘white‘ photos of hers she shared on Instagram, many have pondered why Lil Kim keeps changing her looks via plastic surgery.

She just might have provided the answer in an interview she granted Newsweek. The rapper said:

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?’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.”

She continues:

“I have low self-esteem and I always have,”Guys always cheated on me with women who were European-looking. You know, the long-hair type. Really beautiful women that left me thinking, ‘How I can I compete with that?’ Being a regular black girl wasn’t good enough.”

And the implants? “That surgery was the most pain I’ve ever been in in my life,” says Kim. “But people made such a big deal about it. White women get them every day. It was to make me look the way I wanted to look. It’s my body.”
