“Why she looks uncomfortable” — Netizens react as Busta Rhymes compares Lil’ Kim to Mary J. Blige and Missy Elliott at release party

Hip-hop legend Busta Rhymes recently found himself at the center of an online debate after he compared Lil’ Kim, Mary J. Blige, and Missy Elliott at a high-profile release party.

On March 8, 2025, during a release party for Busta Rhymes and Trillian at Brooklyn Chop House, which was attended by many high-profile guests, including American rapper Lil’ Kim, Busta Rhymes encouraged Kim to be more active and compared her to hip-hop legends.

As a result, the clip went viral on the social media platform X, with many users suggesting that Kim, whose real name is Kimberly Denise Jones, appeared visibly “uncomfortable,” possibly in response to the comparisons.

“Why she looks uncomfortable but she deserves her flowers,” one commented.
