Faith Evans eventually pieced together Biggie’s infidelity, although it took some time for her to see the signs. In her memoir, Faith recounted how she once caught Lil’ Kim in bed with Biggie on Christmas Eve. Enraged, she physically attacked Kim, pulling her from the bed and beating her while Biggie watched the chaos unfold. To make matters worse, Kim retaliated by scratching up Faith’s car and later even threatening her life with a gun.

Despite the violence and emotional abuse, Kim stayed in the relationship. She has openly discussed how Biggie’s behavior had a profound impact on her self-esteem. Friends of the rapper tried to advise her to leave, but Kim remained loyal to Biggie until his death. Even after enduring these painful experiences, she continued to honor his legacy, often speaking about him with affection and love.

In a candid interview, Kim admitted that their relationship was violent but excused some of Biggie’s behavior by attributing it to his astrological sign, calling him a “Gemini” who had two different sides. She seemed to rationalize the abuse by acknowledging his dual nature, though the impact of the relationship clearly left emotional scars.

Lil’ Kim’s relationship with Biggie ended tragically when he was murdered in 1997. Even after his death, Kim has continued to speak about him with reverence, despite all the pain she endured during their time together. Some fans and commentators believe that Kim’s enduring love for Biggie stems from being trauma-bonded, a psychological phenomenon where the victim of abuse becomes emotionally attached to their abuser.

Biggie’s violent treatment of Kim and his numerous infidelities have sparked ongoing debates about whether he truly loved her or simply used her for his own benefit. While some believe that he had genuine feelings for Kim, others argue that his actions contradict any notion of true love. As one fan put it, “Biggie treated her like dirt, and that’s not the actions of a man in love.”

Lil’ Kim’s revelations about her toxic relationship with Notorious B.I.G. force us to reexamine the narrative that has surrounded their affair for decades. What many once viewed as a powerful and influential musical partnership was, in reality, a deeply dysfunctional and abusive relationship. Despite the pain, Kim’s loyalty to Biggie has never wavered, leaving many to question how trauma and emotional manipulation played a role in keeping her bound to him.

The shocking details of their relationship serve as a reminder of the often-hidden abuse that occurs behind closed doors, even between celebrities who seem to have it all. For Lil’ Kim, the scars of her relationship with Biggie may never fully heal, but her decision to speak out sheds important light on the complexities of love, loyalty, and abuse.

As fans continue to debate whether Biggie truly loved Kim, her story serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of glamorizing toxic relationships.
