DJ Envy is being dragged across social media by fans after dressing his 8-year-old daughter as Lil’ Kim during spooky season.
The DJ of morning show ‘The Breakfast Club’ gathered his wife, Gia Casey, 45, and children, Madison, 23, Logan, 21, London, 11, Jaxson, 10, Brooklyn, 8, and Peyton, 2 , to celebrate Halloween Eve by recreating Lil’ Kim and Lil’ Cease’s 1996 music video “Crush on You.”
The footage was posted to Instagram on Wednesday, October 30, prompting fans to applaud the entertainment that was deemed “gross and inappropriate” for children to participate in.
“Happy Halloween!!! Introducing “Crush On You” The Casey Crew Edition! Enjoy!!!,” DJ Envy – real name Raashaun Casey – wrote in the caption of the controversial children’s music video . “Shout out to @lilkimthequeenbee (Stay tuned for another dish tomorrow),” he added.
The 8-year-old, who plays Lil’ Kim, wore a revealing red bodysuit with matching shoes, sunglasses, hair, and fur coat. In the video, Envy called Kim to present his appearance before singing: “Will I continue, yes.”
Fans broke their ankles running to the comments section, claiming that his younger daughter, Brooklyn, is simply too young to pull off such a grown-up look. “It’s gross and inappropriate to have your child dress and rap like this for the world to see,” one fan wrote.
“Why don’t you guys marry lil kim,” the second person asked. “Extremely inappropriate for a child!” a third person exclaimed. A concerned fan added: “The way he speaks makes it sound like he’s very protective of his girls over the radio, which is shocking to see.”
A smaller fan base feels absolutely no wrong about saying “She killed that thing!” and “This is ICONIC!”
The original hip hop classic “Crush on You” featured New York rapper Lil’ Cease of legendary group Junior Mafia, released in 1996. Although the family received backlash for post, DJ Envy has yet to respond.
