It certainly has taken awhile for me to release this. This music documentary showcases the career of Niatia "Lil Mama" Kirkland. Lil Mama is a rapper actress, writer, dancer, and singer who achieved success in music under the age of 20. She is most known for her hit song "Lip Gloss". Lil Mama has endured quite a few ups and downs in her career. She had to deal with almost being blackballed from the industry, after going on stage during Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' VMAs performance. She also had to deal with being publicly shamed by Charlamagne tha God on the Breakfast Club. She faced periods where she was taunted on social media. She overcame her obstacles and defied all odds. She is now currently concentrating on her budding acting career.

They don’t even treat R Kelly like this. All this girl did was walk on to stage

She lost her mom and then the world turned on her. The saddest thing I’ve ever heard ❤️

I feel like Lil Mama is a prime example of accountability. She admits when she’s wrong, accepts the part she played, rectifies the issue and takes steps to move forward. Her bars are fire and she’s an authentic person. Imma go look for her new shit now.

I absolutely HATED the way Charlamagne treated her during that Breakfast Club interview.

I'm glad that TLC took a chance on Lil Mama. The industry really did this young woman dirty.

I love Lil Mama's perseverance. I like her sense of accountability and responsibility. She knows when she's wrong, admit to her wrongs, apologizes for it, and corrects her wrongs. You can tell her parents raised her right.

Shout out to Lil Mama. Nobody would’ve even remembered the performance without her. 🤷🏽‍♂️
