Lick the Rapper
Notorious star Naturi Naughton pays tribute to Lil Kim on the cover of KING’s year-end issue
Hitting newstands November 25, it’s KING’s Year-End issue!
Naturi Naughton
“BIG THINGS POPPIN’”
No longer one-third of teenybopper R&B group 3LW, Naturi Naughton has grown up in a B.I.G. way. Taking Lil’ Kim’s raunchy persona by the horns for the upcoming Biggie biopic, Notorious, the starlet gives us a dress rehearsal.
Milani Rose
“GOOD MORNING!”
Web Girl of the Year Milani Rose dominated our browsers in ’08. Briefly putting monitors to sleep, the flat-screen pinup invites us over for breakfast in bed. Rise and shine!
KING Person of the Year: Hillary Clinton
“MRS. CLINTON WEARS THE PANTS”
A pity party, this is not. After the waterworks, sharp elbows and eventual loss in the Democratic primaries, KING salutes the year’s most influential figure: Senator Hillary Clinton. No recount necessary.
Ron Artest
“THE EDUCATION OF RON ARTEST”
Ron Artest can snap quicker than rubber bands. In this telling reflection, KING reconnected the newly recruited Houston Rocket with a grade-school peer to examine the baller’s troubled childhood.
Rutina Wesley
“KILLER CURVES”
Rutina Wesley’s character on HBO’s True Blood is more guarded than LeBron in the fourth quarter. But here, the slender actress comes clean about one-night stands and vampire fetishes.
Just the Facts
“THE GREAT ESCAPE”
Vanishing from their New Jersey prison cells last year, two inmates pulled off a real-life, Shawshank Redemption–style jailbreak. Following a guard’s suspicious suicide and the recapturing of the fugitives, KING goes back to the clink to investigate.
TAG
“SUPER STYLE SENSE”
Cold-hearted on The Wire and Heroes, Jamie Hector warms up to winter coats and hats.

WTF! Now don’t get me wrong Naturi is a cutie but she is not KING material. She is chocolate which is cool, she has also has nice breasts, but she has noassattall. In my opinion if you have no assattall you should be banned from KING. Dammit yall! Yall need to get more thick babes in KING and leave them skinny broads alone!

Since when was Lil Kim dark skin??? And if you gonna cover a dark skin chick why can’t the broad be at least cute in the face. Due the dark skin girls some justice I mean damn. This girl is ugly as shit. Couldn’t ya’ll get Kenya Moore, Jessica White, or Lanisha Cole. This girl is throw-up worthy.

Janero says:
Mmmmm not a good look AT ALL! I mean damn me being a fan of King I would really like to see a pretty girl grace the cover. I think the last time I saw that was the Wet n Wild issue with the lovely Dollicia Bryan and the issue before that with the undeniably beautiful Stacey Dash. Since then all the covers have been dry and not worth buying. This cover is just not attractive in anyway, shape, or form. I’ve seen and know of much prettier girls that would make this girl look FOOLISH!

The Boy From Africa says:
I agree dis one is de wack one dat I wil not buy ,wat de hell ,who did she have to sleep with to get on the Cover,Very dissapointing after such a Good Cover with Reagen ,How can King end the Year on such a Low Note even Michelle Obama would have been a Better Look!
11.12.08 at 6:22 pm
BedStuy says:
lmao. that bich look stupid. they really couldn’t find a better lil kim?
11.12.08 at 6:36 pm
WTF!!! says:
That cover sucks!!!!
Ya bugging King for this one!!!!

D.Hogg says:
the cover is of course the first thing we see as the mag is presented to us. it sets the tone for the whole monthly KING experience. but i think that those who have been a supporter or subscriber to KING from day 1 or for any number of years now should know that more times than not even if the cover dont get ya the rest of the mag will. i believe it was done more so for the “NOTORIOUS” event more so than for the sake of putting her on the cover based on who she is. if she aint in the movie playin kim, no way she on the cover. no way she in the mag. no, not a top 10 cover. but i’m willing to bet that KING shuts the year down in this issue with much class and swag like they have done many times before.

Skyye says:
WTF! King I don’t care what anyone says this mag is going in all the wrong direction. First how ya’ll gonna slaute Hillary Clinton and not show luv to our First African-American First Lady Michelle Obama. That’s messed up. And secondly I’m still tryin to figure out how mouse face yes I said mouse faced Milani Rose beat out Faren Williams and Jesika Maximus. I guess the voters never had the chance to actually see Milani in person cause she’s 4′9 and looks like she O-D on botox in the face. I’ve never seen a chick who looks so plastic in the face. She takes nice pics but in person meh…. she’s too short (even with heels) and midget looking. I’ve seen much better. And lastly, that cover is hideous instead of looking like Lil Kim the broad looks like DoDo Brown. I’m not feeling nor buying that shit. Start the year off better King ya’ll definitely owe us for this travesty. Do better!

HotShyt says:
Yung Burg said it best she’s an ugly dark butt with a hideous ass wig. Why couldn’t a pretty dark skin lady like Kenya Moore be on the cover? This girl is oooogly as fuck!
11.13.08 at 7:09 pm
Monster says:
how cum when berg publicly says he doesnt like dark butts everyone jumps on him, but everyone comes here and says how much they hate dark butts?
11.13.08 at 8:09 pm
Agree says:
Yea I agree she is fugly. Kenya Moore would have been a much better look cause at least Kenya is pretty for a dark skin girl can’t say the same for this girl.

Milani Rose shouldve been on there. Come On KING NOOOOOOOO. This is the worst cover since Tila.
11.16.08 at 2:14 am
LilB says:
This is the worse cover since Chanta Patton and Tila Tequilla. And she is ugly I agree with the others if you gonna front page a dark skin girl at least let her be attractive. Kenya Moore is sexy, Lanisha Cole is sexy, hell even Rudy from the Cosby’s would have been a better look. Milani Rose? I also saw her in person and lets say on paper she is sexy but in person not so much.

AbsolutelyNot says:
Thats a bad look for dark skin girls this just proves that there are very few pretty dark skin girls if this is the best King can do. Kenya Moore or Taral Hicks should have been on the cover. Now they are some bad ass dark skin shortys. This girl is a dark butt.
11.18.08 at 2:02 am
WTF says:
Wat were you ya thinkin, she is so wack and thas a ugly look for ya!!! U should noe better than to put her on the cover
11.18.08 at 2:51 pm
jayanderson says:
Hey she is sexy but the cover is BAD. UGH. She shouldn’t have done this. LIL Kim is not the woman to be protray. lol. She should’ve done a Angel LOLA pose. She made herself look bad.

missjean says:
are you idiots kidding me??? pure ignorance. dark is beautiful. stop hatin, unless you can take a better shot than that. maybe you’d like to pose on the cover instead? and subject to other idiots’ criticism. grow up and stop hatin!! there’s more to life than hatin on dark skinned girls.

slapyourfavoriteracist says:
Naturi looks alright in the picture. These dudes are so into things they can’t touch and have that when you but a Great Average looking sister on the cover. They turn their backs on you. I would pop her 3 times over. Plus she look far better in person. Secondly Lil Kim was busted as hell when she first came out. But that picture of her twat diverted your attantion from that face. Lil Kim wish she was as pretty as Naturi …NO DOUBT..

omega supreme says:
she was bad back then and she’s bad now. I don’t understand yall hatin assed niggas. lil kim was NEVER this damn pretty. and now the bitch looks like zha zha gabor. before long, she’s going to look like mike. not a good cover, but that’s king’s fault. don’t sweat the haters sexy. just say “hi”, and keep doin the do.
