To honor her contributions to the music industry, the BLAC (Black, Latino, and Asian Caucus) of New York City honored Lil’ Kim for its African-American Music Month celebration.
“Today we are celebrating the 2018 power influencers, the African-American history month of music,” Bronx Councilman Andy King said. “All of you have done great work in the industry. We are so proud to host you this year.”
Along with the proclamation, Kim was also awarded the city’s Power Of Influence Award, and the New York City 12th Council District Arts and Music Award.
“I’m just gonna say this: Use us,” Lil Kim stated accepting her award. “Use us in the industry. We have a voice, and we wanna represent our town, our city. I wanna say thank you to… Mayor Bill de Blasio and everyone on the Council for coming and making this happen because it’s nice to be recognized and it’s nice when people—they recognize your worth, your talent.”
Other Honorees included fashion icon Dapper Dan, and Angela Simmons
