Lil’ Kim teamed up with ’80s pop star Cyndi Lauper to honor Nelson Mandela on his 91st birthday.

Each of the artists took a step outside their comfort zone with a medley of “Time After Time” and “Put Your Lighters Up” at Radio City Music Hall this weekend. The ladies each did nicely with the collabo.
 
And after seeing the performance, we think Kim seemed to bring out the softer side of herself again for the first time since last season of “Dancing With The Stars.”
 

 
Other entertainers who came out to wish Nelson a happy b-day were Queen Latifah, T-Pain and Stevie Wonder.
