Lil Kim Responds To Reddit Album Artwork Controversy
(xxlmag.com) There have been numerous reports of Lil Kim being accused of stealing the work of a makeup artist named Samantha Ravndahl. Now, Kim has responded to the alleged beef and stated she has nothing to do with it.
“I don’t know what the heck is going on,” Kim tells XXL. “If there were something going on, my team would know better than I would. You have to get that from my team because I really don’t know what’s going on.”
TMZ initially uncovered Ravndahl’s frustrations with Kim’s team who didn’t properly credit her work. The story says the Brooklyn rapper pushed the album art as her own on official social media sites with a “Lil Kim” watermark. It also revealed Ravndahl initially posted the photo on a Reddit thread, promoting her series titled “Glam Zombie.”
Ravndahl has reached out to Kim’s team to get some sort of compensation, but was turned down. It is possible that she will file a case against Kim.

Lil’ Kim Album Art Stolen?
Lil' Kim's team is in the news today for stealing the artwork for her mixtape single, Dead Girl Walking.
The original image belongs to Samantha Ravndahl, who posted it on Reddit.com along with a make-up tutorial on how to create the look.
According to ibtimes.com, Samantha wrote that she had spoken with members of Lil’ Kim’s team, and asked them to remove her photos but that they refused to.
“I have spoken with a lady on her team as well as her manager, which has done a whole lot of nothing. I’ve reported the photos on Facebook and Instagram multiple times, but they are continually posted.”
Ravndahl collected advise from hundreds of commenters on Reddit and is still considering what steps to take next, which may include legal action.
Despite speaking to Lil’ Kim’s team, the rapper continues to promote her new song with the image. She even put her own watermark on the image and posted it on Instagram.

[PERFORMANCE CANCELLED] Kim to Perform in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Notorious rapper Lil’ Kim is to perform live at Abu Dhabi’s newest nightlife hot spot, O1ne Yas Island.
Just a week after a high-profile F1 launch weekend which saw the likes of Labrinth and Sean Kingston perform at the club, O1ne Yas Island has pulled out the stops by bringing Kim to the emirates.
The influential female icon will take the mic on Thursday November 7.
Boasting the largest privately owned graffiti wall in the world and wall-to-wall LED screens, O1ne is causing a huge stir in the capital’s nightlife scene. Standing a stone’s throw from Yas Marina Circuit, and from the team behind Skybar Beirut, the club is promising an international act nearly every week, when it opens on Thursday nights only.
