Lil Kim also made a big splash as the ringmaster for one of the lavish
floats during the Pride parade. Kim’s float maintained an Asian theme as she
wore a black wig, short black miniskirt and hot pink heels. The Queen
Bee held court over her adoring fans as her tunes were blasted out on
speakers fixated onto her float. Kim seemed to be in good spirits as she
smiled and danced for the crowd. This isn’t the first Pride for Lil Kim
who has shown her support of Gay rights as an attendee and performer
at previous events.

Although it was reported that Lil Kim would be in attendance at the
2011 BET Awards and undergoing a peace treaty with rival Nicki Minaj,
the pint-sized Brooklyn diva took to Twitter to crush all rumors by tweeting
on Friday, “I will Absolutely not be at the EBT awards Sunday. I will be
on a float at the gay pride parade with my Queens in NYC then at
LQ performing.” Kim kept true to her word and tweeted a photo of
her atop the Pride float.
