Lil' Kim isn't backing down…and doubling down on her desire for a monsoon that drenches LA and puts out the wildfires for good – despite online backlash.
The rapper posted on Thursday
Lil' Kim even backed up her view with a Google definition of a monsoon, emphasizing that it causes a “seasonal change in wind direction that can result in extremely wet or dry weather.”
A monsoon is not technically classified as a natural disaster, but it can trigger extreme flooding that destroys homes, destroys infrastructure and destroys crops. And ironically, more lightning strikes mean a higher risk of fires.
On the other hand, heavy rains caused by a monsoon may Help contain wildfires by cooling things down and adding much-needed moisture to the air and soil—which is probably exactly what Kim was trying to accomplish with her well-intentioned post.
But considering how much LA is already struggling with the wildfires, it's no surprise that her post wasn't well-received – because wanting another extreme weather event isn't what the city needs right now.
