Lil Kim has raised more than a few eyebrows after wishing another natural disaster on Los Angeles as the city continues to battle devastating wildfires.
The Junior M.A.F.I.A. legend made the bizarre comments on social media and initially extended her sympathies to victims of the blazes, writing: “Been sending strong prayers up for L.A. and everyone affected by the fires. This is heartbreaking.”
Her post quickly took a strange turn, though, as she added: “I pray to Jesus that God make it monsoon on LA.”
While Kim appeared to mean well, a monsoon is categorized as severe wind and rain across a large area and they do sometimes occur in the U.S., including in California during summer months.

Her remarks did not escape the internet’s typically brutal sense of humor, with dozens of fans mocking the Hard Core rapper online.
“Ending one natural disaster with another one is crazy,” one person wrote in reply to her tweet, while another user quipped: “immediate hall of fame tweet.”
Someone else aimed a stray at fellow New Yorker Fivio Foreign, who is known for posting ridiculous stuff on social media, joking: “Tweet like Fivio challenge.”
Others were more forgiving, with one reply reading: “I get what she was trying to say but this is wild [crying face emojis].”
While Lil Kim is relying on faith to alleviate the devastation on the West Coast, locals such as The Game have been on the ground supporting firefighters who have been tackling the deadly blazes for over a week.
In recent social media posts, the Compton rapper was seen personally delivering food, water, hot drinks, blankets and pillows to firefighters on the frontline, as well as posing for photos with the crew.
“Me & my team have been down here with the brave men & women fire fighters on the grown day in & day out assisting anyway I can to make their days a little easier,” he wrote on Instagram. “The hearts & level of humility in each & every soul down here is a beautiful thing to witness & be a part of.”
He added: “My heart goes out to each & every person directly affected & those watching from all over the world who are mentally in pieces over what has happened in my city. I am here for Los Angeles & I will always be here to do my part.”
Snoop Dogg also revealed during a recent interview with Jimmy Kimmel that he’s been “pushing buttons” to assist with relief efforts.
“I got a lot of people that’s out there on the ground that’s making things happen. I’m pushing buttons, making things happen, and making sure that the right people are getting the things they need,” he said.
She’s obviously praying for a monsoon (heavy rain) to extinguish the fire in LA.
Think she just was saying the natural thought that heavy rainfall would put out all fire. Nothing to be thinking too deep about.
For a person to think that their individual ‘prayers’ actually affect a situation is the most arrogant and childish thing possible. I know most times people have good intentions in mind, but it’s just funny that grown up people can really believe this. And how do you ‘pray hard’ ? Are you concentrating harder so god can hear you? Are you doing it in a church instead of your bedroom? It’s all ridiculous. If you wanna help, give your time, your money, or your resources, or you’re just in the way.
show us your receipts of the money and time you gave, or don’t let this cloak go down your throat.
actually posttive thoughts ny groups of people does have spooy positive energy effects there are studies of large groups parayin, nothing wrong wishing well for others n yourself sometimes even ur enemies humble yaself
they worship mohegan not jesus by all means pray but i find interesting how common this has become so suddenly
