Lil’ Kim was named as the headliner for the annual AIDS fundraising walk and festival to be held in Atlanta later this month.

The multi Award-winning rap artist Lil’ Kim will be utilizing her talents in the fight against HIV and AIDS, as she has been named the featured star for the Annual AIDS Walk Atlanta Music Festival and 5k Run. She will be joined by singer/songwriter and DJ Durand Bernarr. Both will perform at the concert event that will follow a 5k run and walk through the historic Midtown district of Atlanta, with the festivities taking place at Piedmont Park, which sits between the Midtown community and the Virginia Highlands district. The event is organized and sponsored by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), the world’s biggest nonprofit healthcare organization that is dedicated to education in the fight against HIV and AIDS.

According to the press release shared with HipHopWired, this will be Lil’ Kim’s second time performing at such an event held by the organizer. The “Lighters Up” rapper took the stage for the cause at the Florida AHF AIDS Walk and Music Festival, which was held in Fort Lauderdale in April 2021 after certain COVID-19 protocols were eased in the state. The Atlanta event will mark its 33rd year this year, taking place on Sept. 28. Artists who have been headliners in the past include Myá, Atlanta native Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Ashanti, Monica, Wale, Sevyn Streeter, and Trina.

“This annual event offers a time to create a greater awareness of the impact of HIV and AIDS on the local Atlanta community as well as an opportunity to bring together thousands of individuals from across the region to raise critical funds for these 13 worthy organizations,” stated Dr. Felicia Ivey, AHF Atlanta’s regional director in the press release. “AHF is proud to present this event as one of the many ways that we educate and empower the local community to join the fight against HIV and AIDS.” Those interested in attending, forming a team to participate in the walk or looking for more information can visit the foundation’s website at aidswalkatlanta.org.
