Lil Kim and Cyndi Lauper performed a duet

During a celebration to recognize Nelson Mandela’s 91st birthday at Radio City Music Hall, rapper Lil Kim and 1980s pop singer Cyndi Lauper performed a duet. 

The pair sang Lauper’s song “Time After Time” and Lil Kim’s song “Put Your Lighters Up.”  Lil Kim sang, and Lauper rapped. 

It was interesting to see this odd couple on stage performing together, however, the performance was terrible.  Lil Kim sang off key during the entire performance. 

Mandela wasn’t able to attend the ceremony because of health issues, but it’s good he wasn’t there to hear that mess.  He would have been offended, and it have put him in an early grave.

The video clip of the performance is posted below.
