Is Lil’ Kim in love? That appears to be the energy of a recent video montage she shared, which teases new music from Tayy Brown. Aside from having previously worked together, Kim and Tayy sparked dating rumors in early 2024. Last year, reports claimed that he dragged the ‘Crush on You’ rapper on social media. However, this new video appears to show them super locked in, down to him getting a face tattoo (or two) honoring her!

Lil’ Kim Flexes Private Moments With Tayy Brown
On Monday (August 10), Kimmy took to her Instagram feed with a reel featuring a collection of videos and photos over the years. The cover photo and start of the reel show her and Tayy Brown posing together in black and cream hoodies, respectively. In the selfie, he has blonde locs. According to his IG profile, he last wore that hairstyle in 2022. Another photo in the reel shows them sitting courtside in an empty stadium, while the first video shows them vibing in a kitchen. Meanwhile, one video shows her using filters on Tayy while she cracks up and he playfully urges her to chill out. “I really be the one that play too much,” Lil’ Kim appeared to write on that part of the reel.
Following those playful videos, Lil’ Kim included selfie videos of them chilling on a sofa, seemingly poolside. She had on a black swimsuit while he wore red swimming trunks. Together, they sang along to Usher’s ‘Yeah!’. Other snapshots included a look at roses she’d received, presumably from Tayy Brown. Also, a separate car selfie video shows them kissing on the lips.

Tayy Appears To Tattoo “Kim” On His Neck
And that’s not where the Lil’ Kim’s reel ends! Another standout video shows Tayy Brown getting the name “Kim” tattooed on the side of his neck. She captioned that clip with the word, “Mine” and two emojis, including a red heart. She included other clips from the tattoo day that shows Brown checking out his new ink in the mirror and then turning to face the camera. After he turned around, another face tattoo close to his eye was visible, the letter K with a red heart next to it. The reel ends with a teaser of apparent new music from Tayy titled, ‘Untouched.’ Lil’ Kim’s caption and the reel seemingly described the music status as “loading.”
Keep watching the video below until the end to see the clips described!
And Kimmy isn’t the only one showing public love in the apparent rekindled romance. A post Tayy Brown shared on August 7 shows him smiling in a selfie with Lil’ Kim in the sixth slide. It’s unclear what event the rumored couple was attending.
Social Media Has Plenty To Say About The Rekindled Romance
After Kimmy put the reel out there, her IG comment section quickly flooded with reactions. Some cracked jokes about the age gap between them as he’s 26, while she’s 52. Others applauded her happiness, wishing her well. Meanwhile, a few recalled that in 2025, per HONK Magazine, Tayy Brown accused Lil’ Kim purposefully blocking his career, including pulling his music from streaming platforms and ceasing communication about his career. He claimed to have signed over 65% of his royalties, but said he “didn’t even care” because he “believed in her.” Additionally, he alleged they had a “fake relationship.” It’s unclear when and if Tayy Brown and Lil’ Kim resolved the issues that sparked the internet call-out.

@miss_mollylee wrote, “As long as the queen is being loved and is happy that’s all that matters! Nobody says anything when it’s the man that’s older with a younger woman so why the double standard here!?! Kim looks happy so does Tay, as long as he treats her right cause she’s been through HELL in her past relationships, and that he treats Royal Reign like the Princess she is, then her fans should be happy for her!! YOU DO YOU QUEEN B, YOU’VE HAD MY SUPPORT SINCE DAY ONE AND ALWAYS WILL!!”
