Yesterday, a news story broke reporting super group TLC was set to reunite with a new member, rapper Lil’ Kim. Notorious gossip vehicle Media Takeout even went so far as to impose Lil Kim’s head onto Left Eyes’ body. As the subject is still a sensitive one for the pair, a representative released the following statement on their behalf. -dewayne rogers
“We want our fans to know that replacing our sister Lisa is not, nor has it ever been an option. TLC will always consist of Chilli and T-Boz. Lisa’s spirit lives on through us. She cannot be replaced. We may collaborate with other artists, just like many other groups have done, but we will never add anyone to TLC. We love Lil Kim and have been talking about collaborating with her for awhile. We hope to have an opportunity to work with her in the near future.” Chilli & T-Boz
