Teyana Taylor fully embodied Lil Kim tonight at the VH1 Hip Hop Honors, from the wig all the way down to the shoes. During her Lil Kim tribute performance, Taylor ran through hits from Kim's catalogue like "All About The Benjamins," "Crush On You," and more. Taylor was joined by Dej Loaf, French Montana, Lil Mama, and more for the medley of hits. Taylor not only dressed the part, she brought the energy and mannerisms of Lil Kim to the stage, and fans at home watching the performance appreciated every detail.
When all was said and done though, it seemed like Teyana Taylor's wig stole the show. Taylor appeared to toss the wig, perhaps during a costume change, while performing, and the wig remained onstage as Puff Daddy and the real Lil Kim took the stage following Taylor's performance. The internet noticed and responded with enthusiasm for Taylor's wig.
