Lil Kim recently denied claims made by Ebony magazine photographer Keith Major, who stated Kim was "in control" of the heavily edited photo displayed on the cover of the magazine. The post unveiling the cover photo was captioned, "There will never be another like @lilkimthequeenbee — she still is and has always been “That B***.”
The cover photo sparked a wave of mixed reactions, with many questioning why Lil Kim's appearance was so heavily edited. After one fan asked who the photographer was, Major responded in the comments, "Man she wanted to be in control in the retouching so this is what we got."
Lil Kim was made aware of Major's response and took to her Instagram Story to agree with fans and accuse Ebony of using a photo she didn't approve of. Kim claimed she had told Ebony's team the photo “looked like a painting” but they “didn’t wanna listen”. A member of Kim's team also backed her up, claiming they have "receipts" that a different photo was used.
Keith Major has produced many celebrated Ebony magazine covers, including Jonathan Majors' Valentine's Day-inspired shoot and a more recent one with rapper Busta Rhymes. He was quick to step in and defend his work when it came to Lil Kim's cover.
