DJ Envy and his wife Gia Casey are facing backlash after dressing their 8-year-old daughter, Brooklyn, as Lil' Kim for Halloween.

What was intended to be a fun Halloween moment for the Casey family has resulted in many hitting dad, DJ Envy, with the side-eye for allowing his young daughter to dress as “Crush On You” Lil Kim for Halloween.
The post itself is innocent enough, and features The Breakfast Club co-host FaceTiming with the Brooklyn icon herself, who gave full approval of the youngster rocking her signature colorful looks from the 1997 video, which featured appearances from Uncle Luke, Aaliyah, Sheek Louch and others.
The clip is also costume accurate, with Envy’s daughter rocking similar wigs and furs, as well as a risqué red bodysuit. She then lip-syncs Kim lyrics including “I’ll be undressed in a bra, all see-through” and “the only one thing I wanna do is freak you,” though she does cover her mouth when the more explicit lines are recited. Check out the clip below.
Cardi B took to Envy’s comment section with a supportive message, writing, “She took the assignment very serious SHE ATE THAT !!!,” with Lil Scrappy adding, “The baby got best actor inna film, she did that.”
However, most followers found the costume and song choice inappropriate considering its explicit nature.
“I could understand if your wife played Kim, But your daughter? Really? This is KRAZY,” wrote Walt of VH1’s Black Ink Crew, with another observer writing “This is gross and inappropriate to have your child out here dressing & rapping like this for the world to see…”
“Dope concept. Wrong delivery. #cringe” offered one uncomfortable follower,” with another adding, “I don’t know any decent parents who would be ok with their daughter in an outfit like this at 8 years old…very inappropriate…”
Check out the original video below.
The Casey family also paid homage to Aaliyah, recreating her 1997 “One In A Million” video. Check out the homage and original below.
I definitely need for Charlamagne to give Envy Donkey of the Day, because as of late he has continued to expose how dumb he is on social media.
