At a time where female rappers had a signature look, Lil Kim did her own thing, paved her own way and created her own iconic character. Her look was so unique to her that every year, someone channeling Lil Kim for Halloween. You’ve got to be pretty legendary to have people dress up as you when they can literally be anything and anyone in the world.

Cardi B has joined the growing list of celebrities to pay tribute to Lil Kim. In the recently released video for Pardison (Pardi) Fontaine’s “Backin It Up”, Bardi takes us back to “Crush On U” Kim with the red glasses, wig and fur coat. The music video set even gives us a some Kimmy Blanco vibes.
