Alongside Durand Bernarr as the DJ, Kim will take the stage to perform and help educate about the fight against HIV/AIDS on September 28 at Piedmont Park. The show follows a 5K run/walk through Atlanta’s historic midtown community.
This will be the second time The Queen Bee has done an event like this, having previously headlined the AIDS Walk and Music Festival in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 2021.
In other news, Lil Kim recently announced that she’s taking her legendary show on the road – noting that her fans will be happy to know she’ll be taking a “major artist” with her for the ride.
In a video that went viral in late April, the Queen Bee revealed that the tour would be kicking off this summer, though it now seems it will be later in the year if at all.
“I got something that y’all gonna be so happy about,” she said in the video. “Oh my God. I’m going on a tour with somebody that’s major. Somebody that’s real special. Y’all gonna be so happy.”
Weeks earlier, Kim also revealed that she’d been working on a Nike collaboration with her rumored [and much younger] boyfriend.
The Brooklyn-bred rapper took to Instagram live on April 13 to showcase a new top that the company made exclusively for her.
She said: “It was a really nice Adidas party. You see this? This is Adidas. Let me show you. This shit is fire bro…I’m not gonna lie, I like this shot. They kind of gave me the fire shit. The most custom made shit. We got some really secret shit going on with Adidas.”
Kim then took off her sneaker, which also was made by Adidas.
Fans were skeptical of the “Magic Stick” MC’s new man, 24-year-old Tayy Brown.
One user wrote: “He look like a kid girl bye.” Another added: “Who child is this? And why is she lightskin?” A third said: “The fetish for dating half their age is concerning.”
Lil Kim first sparked romance rumors back in February after penning a sweet message to the up-and-coming rapper.
She later teased a romance with Antonio Brown, however, so her current relationship status is unclear.

Doechii may be getting a lot of flack from haters these days, but it surely feels less significant amid a lot more love, development, and pressure from everyone else. One aspect of her skyrocketing career that many listeners are curious about is how she will "fit in" with other femcees, which is a bit of a dismissive notion boxing all female rappers into the same box. Nevertheless, at least the Tampa native has another superstar in her corner. During a recent livestream with fans, Megan Thee Stallion revealed that a collaboration with her is one of the things she wants to manifest the most for her next project.
"I see Doechii, b***h, I love Doechii," Megan Thee Stallion remarked of the ALLIGATOR BITES NEVER HEAL creative. "I do want to do a song with Doechii. That is on my album wishlist. But I really have no song right now. "I feel like Doechii is the kind of person that you’d have to be in the studio to make a song with. I would like to hear a beat that she would like to rap over. Also, challenging myself to rap over beats I would not normally rap over, without losing myself."
Given that they have skill sets and interests in common – plus their track record of other female collabs – these two might spark magic in the studio together. This joins other developments that bode well for Meg's next album. Plies, for example, recently, dropped his copyright lawsuit against Megan Thee Stallion over her "Wanna Be" collab with GloRilla and Cardi B that sampled Soulja Boy. Hopefully that experience prevents more sample clearance misunderstandings in the future.
Meanwhile, Doechii will definitely drop a new album later in 2025, which will be her studio debut. Her previous mixtape won Best Rap Album at the Grammys this year, so who knows what a big debut will yield? It's also a good opportunity for Megan Thee Stallion to hop on, although this hypothetical collab would likely feel welcome on either femcee's records. In any case, we're keeping our fingers crossed and hoping that any link-up lives up to its potential.
