Lil Kim, real name Kimberly Jones, shared a collage of selfies with the caption: “Miami Heat!!!”
The six snaps show the Crush On You rapper pouting while switching her blonde hair from a high bun to a tousled style over her face.
We’re not sure if the light skin is the result of make-up or skin bleaching, but we genuinely couldn’t recognise the star from a line-up.
Fans took to the comment section to discuss the shocking images, with one writing: “She’s like white now.”
Another said: “Wait what? Is this really Lil Kim??”, while a fan chimed in: “This is just sad what she has done to herself.”
Others compared the Brooklyn diva to Michael Jackson, whose skin was notoriously altered from black to white, although he attributed this to vitiligo.
However, while many people mocked Kim for her appearance, countless other fans shared their worry for her mental health.
Another tweet read: “Lil Kim deserves words of positivity. She needs love, support and understanding, not shame and judgement.”
Kim, who won a Grammy for her collaboration with Christina Aguilera, Mya and Pink on Lady Marmalade, has previously spoken out about her low self-esteem.
Several months ago, Miss Jones was accused of skin bleaching, but her appearance has become even more Caucasian.
Last month, the star dropped her new mixtape, Lil Kim Season.
