Multiple award-winning rapper and hip-hop artist Lil’ Kim is using her star power to shine a spotlight on the ongoing fight against HIV/AIDS. Lil’ Kim will be the featured headliner at the 33rd annual AIDS Walk Atlanta Music Festival and 5k Run presented by AHF Pharmacy. Multifaceted singer/songwriter and Durand Bernarr will join to kick off the concert event that follows a 5K run/walk through Atlanta’s historic midtown community.

AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), the world’s largest nonprofit HIV/AIDS healthcare organization, hosts AIDS Walk Atlanta Music Festival and 5k Run which raises more than $1 million each year for 13 Atlanta-based HIV/AIDS service organizations. Past AIDS Walk Atlanta artists have included Ashanti, Myá, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Monica, Sevyn Streeter, Wale, and Trina.

This is the second time Lil’ Kim has joined AHF to educate audiences about the fight against HIV/AIDS. In 2021, she headlined AHF’s Florida AIDS Walk and Music Festival in Fort Lauderdale.
