Lil Kim brought Brooklyn energy to Barclays Center as the Nets honored Notorious B.I.G. with throwback jerseys and a Hip-Hop tribute night.
Lil Kim took center court at Barclays Center on November 11 as the Brooklyn Nets unveiled their revived Notorious B.I.G.-inspired “Brooklyn Camo” jerseys during the team’s first “Biggie Night” of the 2025–26 NBA season against the Toronto Raptors.
The halftime tribute featured the Queen Bee delivering her verse from “Notorious B.I.G.” in front of a crowd buzzing with nostalgia and hometown pride.
Before the event, Lil Kim teased her appearance on social media, writing, “I’m poppin out tomorrow for my home team the @brooklynnets at the @barclayscenter. It’s Biggie Night, so you already know the vibes everytime we rep the legend it’s all good babyyy bae baeee. Brooklyn, we ouuutssiiideee. Get ready for a fun-filled night! Let’s make it one for the books.”
The Nets’ players hit the hardwood in the reimagined “Brooklyn Camo” City Edition uniforms, which feature a bold multicolor stripe pattern inspired by Biggie’s iconic Coogi sweaters.
A “BED-STUY” patch, designed by graffiti legend Eric Haze, was stitched across the torso in tribute to the late rapper’s neighborhood roots.
The arena was transformed for the night with a Biggie-themed court, curated entertainment, and giveaways, including collectible Biggie bobbleheads for attendees.
The celebration is part of a larger campaign in partnership with Biggie’s estate, aimed at honoring his legacy and the borough’s cultural impact on Hip-Hop.
The Nets plan to wear the Biggie jerseys in 11 games throughout the season. Limited-edition merchandise, including hoodies, caps and tees, was released in tandem with the event and quickly became hot-ticket items.
Team executives and representatives from Biggie’s estate emphasized that the tribute is meant to reflect the spirit of Brooklyn and the lasting influence of one of its most legendary voices. The phrase “Spread Love the Brooklyn Way” served as the campaign’s rallying cry.
