Zephyring 25 years! It remains the timeless, untouchable, best‑in‑class cover remix you’ll ever hear. Patti LaBelle’s “Lady Marmalade,” reimagined by Christina Aguilera, Mýa, Pink, and Lil’ Kim — with Missy Elliott masterminding the production — still stands as one of pop culture’s most explosive collaborations. We even witnessed two of the rare live performances back then: one at the MTV Movie Awards and another at KIIS‑FM’s Wango Tango concert. Both were electric, both unforgettable, both cementing the song’s place in music history.
Now, as 2026 kicks off the milestone celebration of the song’s silver anniversary, you can bet we’ll be seeing plenty more tributes in the cometh year. But first up? A reunion fans have been waiting decades for.
To launch the festivities, Mýa and Lil’ Kim reunited for a special performance ahead of the song’s 25th‑year honor. The moment unfolded at DJ Cassidy’s “Pass the Mic Live!” event in Los Angeles — a night stacked with headliners including Ja Rule, Ashanti, Busta Rhymes, En Vogue, and more. A fitting stage for two of the original Marmalade queens to step back into the spotlight together.
Fresh music, bold entertainment, and men’s fashion—one tight email a week.
A sweet start to a year of celebration.
