Lil Kim’s Plastic Surgery Nearly Ruined Her Career

Her Dramatic Plastic Surgery

As the years went by, Lil Kim began appearing on red carpets and in interviews with lighter skin, higher cheeks, a smaller nose, and additional drastic alterations. It was clear as daylight – the rapper was spending half of her time in the recording studio, and the other half in the plastic surgeon’s clinic.

In an interview in 2005, Lil Kim finally admitted to getting several nose jobs done after suffering a broken nose caused by none other than her former, abusive boyfriend, Biggie. However, she denied the claims that any other work was done.
