And the Lil’ Kim and Nicki Minaj beef continues.
By: Amanda Anderson-Niles
Lil’ Kim and Nicki Minaj refuse to coexist in the music industry in silence. While it may appear that Nicki is over Kim and the back and forth antics that caused Lil’ Kim to release an album, entitled Black Friday, and sell it via PayPal; the head barbie really seems to have no more interest in talking directly about Lil’ Kim.. Meanwhile, Kim, a Hip Hop legend, can’t even have an interview to promote her ongoing tour without being asked about the newest sensation to the female rap game.
At a recent interview with the Breakfast Club crew, when asked about her ongoing feud with Nicki Minaj, Lil’ Kim revealed the origin of the beef. Kim said it all started with a track and collaboration between the two ladies, which eventually was scrapped all together without any communication to Kim. She claims she was shocked by the label’s actions as she was under the impression that they were forming a partnership. She then says Birdman and Lil’ Wayne encouraged Nicki to listen to Kim’s former unreleased tracks and create a sound similar to hers.
The rest is history as many older Hip Hop heads are crying file and duplication of an image they’ve known over a decade before Nicki Minaj grabbed the attention of Lil’ Wayne and joined the Young Money roster.
Birdman doesn’t remember it that way and in an recent interview with MTV2’s Sucker Free, the Cash Money boss says Lil’ Kim is flat out lying about what happened between her, Nicki, and the unreleased music:
“Nah, ain’t no truth to that. We based on creativity. If you know about YMCMB and you ever followed us and been a part of our music, biting and stealing that sh-t just ain’t for us. All [those] rap wars, we just grinding for the money, sun up, sun down. It’s Nicki Minaj all day everyday.”
Given Cash Money’s reputation of ripping off their own artists and former business partners, you have to take anything Birdman says with a grain of salt. Something definitely happened between Kim, Nicki, and the label; and it looks like it won’t be dying down anytime soon.

As many times as he’s been caught in lies, he should know when someone is lying.
LMBO!!!
For these female rappers to rap about how strong they are all the time, the sure do act weak behind closed doors. It’s crazy how they allow these men to turn them against one another. For some reason, they tend to think that there can only be one successful female rapper at one time. But it’s like 20 successful male rappers at one time. They stay losing.
Man whatever. Anyone old enough with a brain knows Nicki took Kim’s style and ran with it. They groomed her to be the next Lil’ Kim. Period. I don’t care if he denies it for the rest of his life, the proof is in the damn pudding. And the way they did Juvie, BG and Mannie Fresh shows you how shady they all are.
Yeah. I can’t believe anything that comes out of this man’s mouth. He lies about every damn thing. Nicki is a Lil’ Kim clone on steroids and they know it. There’s nothing “creative” about anyone on that label.
It doesn’t matter what Baby or Lil’ Wayne says, Nicki got her swag from Kim. And I believe it when Kim says Nicki had a nasty attitude about all of it, because she has a snotty attitude about everything else. History shows that female rappers don’t have longevity, so why beef with all of them? Nicki has made it so when she does fall and become irrelevant, she won’t have many people to turn to. They can all get on stage and help each other but I’m pretty sure they won’t be doing the same for Nicki when the time comes. She thinks everyone is jealous of her, but people were rubbed the wrong way with her lyrics.
There is nothing creative about this ghetto music label!!!! Nicki is not original and is the corniest female rapper to ever get in the game!!!!!
Nicki may be a clone, but Lil’ Kim is the one going around talking about her all the time. Nicki hasn’t said anything since last year. Nicki wins. Kim needs to get on her grind and drop the Nicki beef. It’s making her look juvenile and washed up. Get her back with success.
Did Nicki bite her style? Of course she did. But Kim didn’t come up with her style, Biggie did. Sounds like pot meets kettle to me. Both need to let this silly beef thing go.
For Nicki to have bitten Kim’s style, she sure didn’t pull it off. Kim was way flyer in her hay day than Nicki has ever been. She dresses like a clown and I don’t see the hype image wise. And can we please talk about those tacky wigs she keeps wearing?!
ALL YAW COMMENTS ARE VERY INTERESTING I CAME UP OFF OF LIL KIM SO I SEE THE WHY SHE IS MAD…I ALSO WATCH NICKI AND SEE HOW SHE WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO BECOME THE ONLY FEMALE IN THE GAME …SHE PUTS IN A LOT OF WORK I OFTEN FEEL SORRY FOR NICKI BUT THEN I BEGAN TO WONDER AS I ANALYZE HER …SHE IS A SAGITTARIUS IVE DELT WITH ONE FOR A LONG TIME THEY ARE VERY SELFISH AND NO HOW TO MAKE PEOPLE FEEL SORRY FOR THEM WHEN THEY WANT SOMETHING
