T-Boz and Chilli performing during Vh1 Mixtape Festival
Posted by | Ray Cornelius
As if playing the late Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes in the upcoming biopic was not enough for Lil Mama, the 23-year-old performed with Chilli and T-Boz during last night’s Vh1 Mixtape Festival. She will also appear on the iconic group’s forthcoming greatest hits album. Apparently, the ladies were very impressed with the rapper’s performance as Left Eye that having her on board for both projects seemed like a natural fit.
“For 10 years we have been mourning the death of our sister Lisa, and although we have discussed the option of bringing in someone to perform with us, it never felt right at the time,” stated Chilli. “Watching Lil Mama on the set of our movie CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story reminded us of Lisa’s spirit, and, for the first time since her passing, we felt everything come together in an organic way.”
T-Boz later added, “Lil Mama’s authentic style, although very different from Lisa’s, got our creative juices flowing. By bringing her in, we will continue to keep TLC’s music alive for a new generation of fans. We are thrilled to be writing this new chapter in The TLC story.”
Reportedly, the ladies performed a medley of their mega hits including “Fanmail,” “Hat 2 Da Back,” and “Ain’t too Proud To Beg,” before introducing Lil Mama on stage for “No Scrubs.”
