Now 35, Niatia Kirkland - better known as Lil' Mama - looks frozen in time in a new video uploaded to Instagram.
In the clip, Niatia can be seen walking past a petrol station then down the streets of Brooklyn in a racy outfit.
She wears a denim co-ord, which reveals her incredible toned stomach and a lacy red bra.
She accessorises the look with a trench coat, red fur bag adding a huge diamond chain around her neck.
The music star then tosses her bright neon hair to the side before sending kisses to the camera.
She captioned the post: "Grab it Like It's Made For You (heart emoji)"
"LIL MAMA FOREVER POPPIN," added another.
"Dayuummmm (heart eyes emoji) that's the biggest glowup in the entire industry," chimed a third.
A fourth penned: "Been beautiful since day 1."
Lil' Mama shot to stardom at just 17-year-old with the release of her memorable hit and dance anthem, Lip Gloss.
The song became a viral sensation reaching Number 10 on the Billboard 100.
This earned the singer two Teen Choice Awards and a nomination at the MTV Music Awards.
She then went on to become more widely recognised when she collaborated with pop-punk singer Avril Lavinge on her track Girlfriend.
After the release of her only album VYP she took a music hiatus opting to become a judge for eight years on MTV's America's Best Dance Crew.
Fans may also remember that infamous moment from 2009 when Jay-Z and Alicia Keys reunited to perform Empire State of Mind at the Tony Awards.
Jay-Z and Alicia Keys were shocked when Lil Mama unexpectedly hopped on stage in a cringe-worthy moment.
She later revealed the she went on stage because she was emotionally moved by the performance.
The rapper has also had success as an actress starring the TLC biopic as Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes and in 2019 she starred in the crime flick All In.
When it comes to new music Lil' Mama released her EP Truly In Love last year which featured 4 tracks including, Whoa Baby and The One.

Love Island hunk reveals surprising link to Oasis star Liam Gallagher after villa exit

Who knew Tommy had such celeb connections? Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Islander Tommy Bradley may no longer be in the villa, but he's found his way into the spotlight once more after sharing his unexpected link to Oasis star Liam Gallagher. The landscape gardener from Hertfordshire, 22, known for his washboard abs, was savagely dumped from the ITV2 show almost three weeks ago alongside villa flame, Lucy Quinn.

On GK Barry's podcast Saving Grace, Tommy talked about his life before and after being a Love Island contestant. 'When I tell people I do gardening and stuff it doesn't sound as good, but we'd go to footballers' houses and celebrities,' Tommy said. GK asked Tommy who the most famous person he worked for was, and he replied with no hesitation that it had to be Liam Galllagher. 'I'm a massive Oasis fan and there was a point in time when a company I joined used to do his maintenance, cut his grass, cut back hedges, stuff like that, general tidy-up,' Tommy said. Though Tommy unfortunately didn't get to spend too long working for the star as shortly after he started, Liam moved while his home went under renovation. 'I was really unlucky - I joined that company when he [Liam] moved out for building work, his house was being renovated. He moved to the Cotswolds,' Tommy said. 'I was only at that company for three months, they only wanted me for the summer, and when I left he moved back in. I was actually gutted.' Tommy still remains hopeful that he'll have a chance to meet the music legends of Oasis in the future, as Liam's niece, Anais, reached out to him on TikTok. 'Noel Gallagher's daughter commented on my TikTok and I was buzzing,' Tommy said. Love Island fans furious as Tommy slams Shakira as b----- and a 'mean girl' as he speaks out on dumping 'I then went on Instagram and saw she follows me so I followed her back and she sent a video of Noel and Liam on stage and I messaged her like, 'Counting down the days.'' Tommy continued: 'I'm going in September at Wembley. She asked me what show I'm going to and I told her. She liked the message but that's all it's been left at.' 5 Tommy has been talking to Anais on various social media platforms Credit: instagram 5 The news comes around the same time as Tommy and Lucy calling it quits Credit: Shutterstock Editorial

Laura Hamilton furiously hits back at troll who claims she's 'too old' for a bikini

Presenter Laura Hamilton clapped back at a troll who said she's 'too old' for a bikini, winning praise from fans for her confident response A Place in the Sun presenter Laura Hamilton has publicly addressed an online remark claiming she was 'too old' to wear a bikini, responding with a defiant post on social media. ‌ The 43‑year‑old revealed earlier this week that she had read the comment on one of her recent Instagram posts. Instead of ignoring it, Hamilton used the opportunity to speak out about body confidence and ageism. ‌ She shared a new photo showing herself sitting poolside in a blue and white bikini, along with a video of her relaxing on a day-bed with her daughter. It comes after the A Place In The Sun presenter shared an 'exciting' update as fans 'congratulated' the star. ‌ In the caption, she asked: 'Who decides when we're 'too old' for anything?' She went on to explain: 'I recently read a comment saying I was too old to wear a bikini… and it honestly made me stop and think for a second. But then I reminded myself, life's way too short to worry about what other people think.' Hamilton said her decision to wear the swimsuit that day had nothing to do with the comment. 'Today I'm wearing a swimsuit, not because of the comment I read but because I wanted to and I feel comfortable in it,' she wrote. Addressing her followers directly, she added: 'We all have days when we feel self‑conscious, but we deserve to enjoy the sunshine, the beach, the pool - whatever makes us happy - no matter our age and whether we choose to wear a swimsuit or a bikini!!' ‌ She concluded her post with the message: 'Live your life and feel good in your own skin.' Fans flooded the comments section with messages of support, praising Hamilton's confidence and refusal to be shamed. ‌ One follower wrote: 'You look incredible and are such an inspiration to women everywhere. Age means nothing when you look and feel great.' Another commented: 'Ignore the trolls. You're beautiful, confident and showing that style and grace have no age limit.' ‌ A third added: 'Thank you for speaking up. I'm in my forties too and often feel judged for wearing what I want - you've just given me the confidence to stop caring.' Others pointed out that Laura's message was not just about appearance, but about rejecting outdated ideas of what women can and cannot do as they get older. Since joining A Place In The in Sun back in 2011, Laura has become a familiar face and is the second-longest serving presenter, with Jasmine Harman starring on the programme since 2004. ‌ But after more than a decade, viewers might wonder if Laura is considering a departure. When asked about her future on the show, Laura shared: "I've been in television and the industry for a very long time. "Since I was 18! So I got into presenting when I was 22, and I very much hope to be continuing filming, filming with A Place in the Sun and new property stuff. I am actively involved in property away from any TV-related stuff that I do." ‌ Despite the show airing for an hour each weekday, Laura disclosed that the behind-the-scenes work stretches across five days, giving the team ample time to understand the needs of the house hunters. She expressed: "I guess they feel like they know us because the show is the second longest-running show on Channel 4. "So people do feel like they know us and they're comfortable with us. It's great for me, it's the perfect thing! A bit of travel, a bit of property and the people!"

Nepo baby shows off her uncanny resemblance to famous soap star- but can you guess who her mum is?

Nepo baby Kiki Truman showed off her uncanny resemblance to her famous mother in a latest Instagram post on Saturday. Dressed up for a night at the Grease: The Immersive Movie Musical, Kiki, 20, transformed herself into Sandy. She wore her blonde locks in corkscrew curls and added a red lip and eyeliner and threw on a leather jacket. Kiki is following in her mother's footsteps, and while her Instagram account is private, her bio reads: 'actress london/ibiza'. As a child she also starred in The Dumping Ground and The Kennedys. But who is her famous mum? That's right, it's Charlie Brooks. Kiki is the only daughter of soap star Charlie, who is best known for starring as Janine Butcher in EastEnders. Charlie shares Kiki with her ex Tony Truman, who is an entrepreneur with a string of hospitality ventures in Ibiza including the popular Ocean Beach Ibiza. And while Kiki opted to dress up as Sandy for the night out, Charlie donned a pink bob wig as she transformed herself into Frenchy Facciano. Back in December Charlie marked her daughter's 20th birthday as she shared a gallery of pictures of daughter Kiki from childhood to now. In a few snaps, Charlie was seen posing with her little girl as a child and the soap star also shared a few of her daughter looking glamorous as she dressed up in leopard print. Charlie wrote: '20 years ago today I birthed this wild thing @kikitruman. So pleased the frontal lobe is starting to form. 'What an adventure. Thank you for choosing me to be ya mamma, and your dad @tonytrumanibiza . That's right, it's Charlie Brooks. Kiki is the only daughter of soap star Charlie, who is best known for starring as Janine Butcher in EastEnders Kiki, 20, transformed herself into Sandy as she wore her blonde locks in corkscrew curls and added a red lip and eyeliner and threw on a leather jacket 'We are here for all of it and we love you more than you could know. Happy birthday baby.' Tony also took to Instagram to mark the occasion with a gallery of sweet snaps and gushed that Kiki has 'changed his life for the better'. He penned: 'Today my beautiful little Kiki custard turns 20 @kikitruman. In 2004, we never expected to become parents myself & @charlie_brooks_xx '(And at the time… a kid was the last thing we were thinking off, but sometimes the biggest surprises are the best surprises & both of us would not change it for the world baby) 'But it certainly changed my life for the better in every way possible. A daddy-daughter bond is so super special. 'And I'm so lucky to experience the joy of fatherhood for 2 decades now, the first decade was an unbelievable time of watching her grow from this tiny little baby into a sweet precious baby girl, learning her first 3 words of daddda , duckkk & Chelse….she couldn't quite get the 3rd word but sure you can guess what it was.'
