Some time ago, That Grape Juice reported that Lil Kim was to serve as judge on the upcoming televised TV show ‘America’s Next Top Rapper‘, alongside Director X and the producer Rockwilder.
Now, in what will come as a shocking blow to her fan base- who understandably were hoping the gig would help kick start her ailing career- today saw confirmation that she has been replaced by a rival female Rapper.
All the details below…
Minutes ago, VIBE Magazine published an ‘updated’ version of the show’s press release which confirmed that Trina is to serve as the contest’s only female judge and not Kim,as had been previously announced.
While a motive behind the switch is yet to be confirmed or even acknowledged, it would seem that Trina’s newly found ‘light and bright’ persona made her an attractive candidate for the series.
We have to admit though, we were actually looking forward to seeing just how Kim would fare in this show- especially after she excelled in her judging position on Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search For The Next Doll some years back.
Though she is claiming she jumped and was not pushed,we wouldn’t be surprised if recent comments made by Jones about a certain Rap mogul and his clique in the song ‘I Am Not The One’ had something to do with her ‘removal’ from the contest.
B*******!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First
@JOSH FIRST?????
DAMN, i guess i wasnt hahaha.
TRINA is the baddest b****.
Im happy!
JOSH IS GAY ANYBODY WHO LIKES BEYONCE AS A MAN IS GAYYYYYYYYYY
Damn, why you so harsh?
Did i do anything to you.
Grow up.
Trina?? Really? Lmao.. do u know how much classic music lil Kim has. She knows way more about rapping than Trina. Smh.
Maybe TRINA is cheaper.
AH HA! This is what this ghetto, jigsaw looking b**** gets! LIL KIM has been done for a while. All of her good for nothing, hoodrats stans can’t say s***. Lil Kim is a nobody and damn sure isn’t a F****** LEGEND! You stupid stans made that s*** up and obviously it isn’t true. If it was, roles like these would be given to her in an instant. She’s a washed up rapper who has no money, man, or life. Her life consists of her hating on Nicki Minaj and recording wack ass diss tracks.
Just sad…Kim can’t rap and can’t get a judging gig so how is she legendary? I’ll say it again…BIGGIE WAS KIM’S GHOSTE WRITTER. S/O to Trina, she can actually rap better than Kim.
Kim tweeted the reason she isn’t doing the show. If any of you care to go research.
I hate What this article is implying. So quick to call people washed up and has beens. A lot of you forget their is a business side to this thing called entertainment. Get with the program.
actually TGJ she turned it down, wanna know why?, because next year is when her Distribution deal/Universal music contract kicks in. That show would hinder the launch placing her under contract with them( oh yeah the show does not have network home, so why take that chance)
The both suck ass!!
Dang I notice y’all throw jabs at Lil Kim on the regular.. And when was Lil Kim and Trina rivals? Smh, listen.. Lil Kim Straight, but y Trina? If not Lil Kim than Queen Latifah.. Perfect..
Follow me @NastyBam
Grape Juice Facts are never straight forward.
Kim and Trina are not rivals.
Kim did not lose anything.. SHE TURNED IT DOWN.
Kim’s career is not ailing– although you wish for it.
LIL’ KIM supporter says congratulations to TRINA.
I
Ahhhhh what the f***!
How can they replace my girl with some fake ass sicki garbaj loving h**! Trina is fake AND everyone knows it- tryna play devils advocate between kim and the clone but really is actin like she likes kim when she really just licking her ass to avoid getting on her bad side.
F*** this show- im not watching it.
Lil Kim and Trina are friends.Kim turned the show down cause of her contract..Get your facts straight.
Wait lemme get this straight
Nicki has a platinum album, a hit single- toured with Britney Spears- sold 2 million copies of that platinum album worldwide and becoming a global star but Kim cant even secure a role on a tv show which hasnt even been picked up by a network?
BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAUAUAUAUAUAUAUAAHAHAHAHA
FLOPPITYFLOPFLOP
#TeamMinaj this is a lesson all should learn.
NEVER waste your time with haters!
Lil Kim and Trina are very close .Lil Kim told Trina congradulations.
Look at all this thirsty @ss Nicki fans flooding the post.Y’all are pathetic.Lil Kim didn’t lose the role she turned it down and explain everything on twitter.
LOOOL OH NO.
Now kim is gonna hate on Trina.
I can see it now
‘Black Friday: The Flop Returns’
WOOOH TRINA AND NICKI 4LYFE!
F*** YOU!
Kim wasnt fired she turned it down cos she signed to Universal and they probably gonna give her own show or suttin.
Just watch this space.
@KIM CAREER DEAD GHOSTBUSTER Your a 13 year old f*****.Get a life.
PLUS- NIcki’s pink friday was a flop. Didnt even get to #1 loool
She did not get fired,she turned it down cause of contract issues.I swear Nicki pays SAM under the table
Bad move…not because it Trina but because you said it was someone else first……not a good look, how on earth can this show be consistent and structual if you can even get your line up right. I was salvatating for any other female rapper than that nasty nikki minaj….you went with trina so I wont be that mad but was really more interested to see lil kim. Layla please place the twitter so we all can see.
Oh KimmyBlancoBaby
Take a look at something for me baby:
On the week of February 9, 2011, Pink Friday went to number one, after its eleventh week on the Billboard 200, selling 45,000 copies in that week.[68] In its twelfth week, the album had sold 1,081,000 copies in the United States.[69] In its thirteenth week, the album sold an additional 46,000 copies, bringing total sales to 1,127,000 in the United States.[70] As of November 27, 2011, the album had sold 1,663,300 copies in the United States.[71]
You Mad?
Say what, Lil Kim turning down a check? -____-
TBLAZE.
I dont believe Kim was fired- but i do think she was advised by the producers to leave cos u know it would be against their interests to have a judge who is KNOWN to be feuding with the most succesful Rappers in the game now.
Which other crew is selling like Young Money is, and uno what they say- money is power and Lil Kim has very little money
LMBAO
I like Kim but im laughing at her fans
while nicki is on americas next top MODEL kim cant even keep a job on americas next top RAPPER
LLOOOOL
“Did i kill the Queen or did Alexander Mcqueen?!!!!”
Christmas Massacre slayed that h**
Im starting to really hate yo Nicki fans
Yall act as though shes the first b**** to sell lots of records, she STOLE her entire look from Kim and then turned around and dissed her.
Do you guys even know why kim hates her.
Nicki told Baby and Wayne not to sign Kim when Kim was about to sign to Young Money and she told them to take her off a song she and nicki recorded together. Then she purposely hired people who used to work for Kim to help turn her into a star and then started sending her subliminals. WOULD U ACCEPT THAT?
Then she started to steal her look and then tried to make her look bad in the media but really its nicki whose the evil one.
why u think she dont talk to fendi no more.
why u think she fired diddy- shes a witch and everyone knows it.
Yeah shes selling records but for how long. Kim mothered that b**** and she cant accept it.
Keep laughing Haters I know sumfin you don’t know. So good ooh it’s gone be sooooooo good!
oops, poor Lil……
……
…..
@bkbrom,
Yeah man, like when Lil kim was telling Kay slay “THIS GONNA BE FUUUNNNN!!!!”, THEY HAVE NO CLUE, ONLY A CHOSEN NUMBER OF FANS KNOW WHAT’S ABOUT TO HAPPEN!
Hot When? Ricki Lake
This is the most stupidest website i’ve ever seen. Lil Kim CLEARLY CLEARLY stated on twitter that she turned down this show.This show seems cheap and boring.It has no advertisement and i don’t even think it will be on TV.The show starts Dec 3 and i haven’t seen any commercials for it YET. Trina and Lil Kim are friends by the way… She congrats Trina for the role. I love Trina also,but it seems like a thirsty unsigned artist will take this role on this bootlegged show. Lil Kim is signed to Universal or whatever big major label she will be closing in the beginning of Jan 2012… Lil Kim is a BUSINESS woman..She will not be part of a low pay,no promotion,bootlegged ass show … : )
FOR THE NICKI FANS: Quit stalking Lil Kim , Quit talking about her if you don’t like her. Go away…. You all look like lil idiots that you are. Who gives a f*** about Nicki on TV ?? She looked a mess..Lots of people have clowned that clone.. Nicki started the beef and Lil Kim ended it …. CASE CLOSED . LIL KIM A LEGEND , GRAMMY AWARD WINNER , ACTRESS , MODEL , SHE HAS SOLD 3X AND 2X PLAT ALBUMS .. ALL of her albums went platinum. She didn’t have to release all of her singles like ya’ll fav Nicki did to get Platinum or 2x whatever ya’ll say… LIL KIM THE LEGEND,QUEEN B****… Nicki is the one who is a has-been done when she is doing what Kim did in 96… Nicki will burn off in 5 years from now..Lil Kim still got ya’ll talking 16 years later . Buwahah
Congats Lil Kim , i can’t wait to see you on TV,Music videos & hear your music in 2012 … You will have the last laugh boo ! xoxo #teamlilkim forever
Poor Kim LOL.
This is a day late. Lil Kim announced that she turned it down and the show confirmed that she did. Stop hatting on a female.
Damn. This broad just keeps losing. Oh well.
#Nicki2012
whats funny is that the show actually confirmed lil kim quit so stop hating and as a fan im glad lil kim not doing that low budget show they didnt even spell the songs correctly on the promo video
@FOXYBROWNSLACEFRONT She turned it down dumb@**.
LOVE YOU LITTLE KIM!
Without Kimmy Blanco aboard I will not be watching. Trina isn’t hal the FEMCEE she is! Damn what a hater has to say!
Nicki fans stay watching Kim’s every move.Why did y’all even come on the post.
enough ENOUGH! with the gay hating crap that’s going on in this comment section, if you carry on about it then…you got ‘issues’. ANYHOW
LIL KIM IS STILL THE GREATEST FEMALE MC, GOOD LUCK TO TRINA-ANOTHER GREAT FEMALE MC! But Lil’ Kims diary will probably be too booked up when she releases her new album next year! So there!
As long as Lil Kim is breathin’ we will be buyin her FABULOUS music and you haters can carry on hating with jealousy!
@Babigotback who cares if kim won a grammy. She shared it with three singers who are way better than her. Like who the f*** would listen to lady marmalade with just kim on it? It probably would not have gotten the grammy if it had not been for christina, mya, and pink. They are bigger than kim will ever be. And at least nicki has won awards for her own songs and albums. Not just collabos. 3 american music awards in one night and just recently a soul train award. So sit.
#nicki2012
@KIMMYBLANCOBABY NICKI DID GO #1, ON BILLBOARD TOP 200 AND THE RAP CHARTS GET UR FACTS RIGHT FIRST…
AND TO ALL THE LIL HIM STANS OF COURSE SHE GOIN SAY SHE QUIT OF COURSE U STANS R GOIN TO B MAD AT NICKI FANS CUZ TEAM MINAJ IS #WINNING AND TEAM HIM IS #LOSING

#BUILD A BRIDGE AND GET OVER IT
Kim is a rap icon! Even though recent years she has been doing bad…I honestly don’t think Trina can rap..she has the lyrics of someone in middle school…but I’ll still watch hell
@ITS ROMANS RETURN You just prove how dumb Nicki fans are.Kim just got a big record deal where she will have her on record label under a distribution deal and will release her new single on 1/12/12..Nicki’s album came in at number 3 behind Kanye West.Nicki got 7 million twitter followers and only sold 1.6 million in the US.Kim’s first album is 5x platinum with one video.You obviously is a pressed Nicki fan writing long @ss essays on a Kim’s post.
“Lil Kim” & “Losing / Lost” stays in the same sentence these days.! LOL.! when will her played out ass learn.! at the point & time, Nicki doesnt need to do anything else & she will still have slayed her whole career.! PINK FRIDAY : ROMAN RELOADED in stores 2.14.12 ; all the haters be first in line to get your copy since your fav. isnt releasing an album anytime time soon.! TEAM MINAJ. : )
@Candy honey, if kim sold all those albums why doesn’t she have more twitter followers and fb followers? Oh, cuz ppl don’t remember and don’t care! *sniff, sniff. Cry.* Her first album 5x platinum? BULLSHIAT. It’s only 3x platinum and that was in a span of 2-10 years. Nicki’s album was number #1 on billboard 200 and 300k sold first week. See how many of kim’s albums have been number 1 on billboard 200. NONE. Lol.
@CANDY Kim has never had a 5 times platinum album u dumb idiot. Hardcore is the only album to go double plat and it too 3 years to do that. Google is your friend!
Here’s some facts on Hardcore for ya…..The album peaked at #11 on the Billboard 200 and #3 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Hard Core was RIAA-certified double platinum on March 14, 2001 after having been certified Gold on January 6, 1997 and Platinum on June 3, 1997
So in essence it too hardcore over a year to be certified platinum, and 5 years to become double.
Now let’s compare Nicki’s album….After just five weeks, the RIAA certified ‘Pink Friday’ platinum. Minaj’s debut album has already shipped one million units in the united states! Congrats Nicki!
Also she became the first artist ever to have seven singles on the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time.
Her second single, “Your Love”, reached #1 on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart, making Minaj the first female artist to top the chart unaccompanied since Missy Elliott accomplished it with Work It in 2002.
She also became the first female artist to be included on MTV’s Annual Hottest MC List.[6] Due to the success of her debut album, Minaj was named the 2011 Rising Star by Billboard Magazine.
So it looks like TeamMinaj stays winning by doing things Kim dreamed of!
ummm kim turned this s*** down….she didn’t lose anything. so stop reporting and spreading lies!
@NATIONOFPINKSLAM
Kim has no money?? Care to back up your b******* facts you’re spewing from your lose p****??
@I’MA HAVE TO SEND HER BACK TO HER MAKER
Missy Elliott has 5 platinum album (one of them being 2x platinum) and she only has a little more followers than Kim. Meanwhile, Eve’s albums are 2x platinum, platinum & gold and she’s got somewhere around 300K followers less than Kim.
You wanna tell me what f****** point you’re trying to prove??
@KIM CAREER DEAD GHOSTBUSTER
Soooo this is like te 5th time I’m asking for proof that Biggie wrote all of Kim’s rhymes. Like I said before, show me the proof or shut your loose traphole coming here with b******* and no facts.
Omw they didn’t Lil kim had a Huge year She went a zillion Plat on the Pay pal charts! Nd that’s just gonna go unoticed ? She has 10 nods at “The Pammys” that show is shady Lol. Congrats trina You more relevant than her
CONGRATULATIONS to Lil Kim for your THREE nominations! “Best New Account”, “Mixtape Of the Year” & “#1 PayPal Seller” #PayPalAwards
Does this article mention Nicki Minaj at all?
And yet lo and behold, what do I see…Nicki Minaj followers.
LMAO
____________________
BTW…this article is erroneously written and poorly researched.
thatgrapejuice is more on ‘that wine’ these days…..you’re making crap up and talking about losing and winning with NO facts AT ALL.
GET REAL, GET A LIFE.
You know they just wanted someone else.
Kim didn’t turn anything down…they didn’t want her. Period.
She’s a has been (More like a never was) and she is destroying what fragile legacy she had.
She’s done…let it go.
LMAOOOOOOOO!!!!!! WHY ARE YALL STILL TRYING KIM!!!! ITS AMUSING THAT TGJ CALLS HER IRRELEVENT AND ALL THE OTHER BASHING NAMES YET EVERY OTHER WEEK KEEPS HER IN THEIR “NEWS” REPORTS PERIOD. YOURE NOBODY TIL SOMEONE HATES YOU AND ALL THIS HATE MOTIVATES AN ARTIST/PERSON LIKE KIM.
@ALL THE KIM HATERS AND COMICS
THERE IS NO SHADE BETWEEN KIM AND TRINA SO IF TRINA IS WORKING THE GIG GOOD FOR HER. #REALITYCHECK TRINA HAD A MIXTAPE OUT IN THE LAST YEAR TOO SALES STATS NOT GOOD NOT EVEN HALF OF WHAT KIMMY DID SO AGAIN WHY WOULD KIM BE MAD AT THIS. ALSO WITH A POP ACT TRYING TO CLAIM A ROLE AS A RAPPER KIM IS SET OUT TO REVIVE FEMALE RAP……..RAP (LOOK IT UP IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS) SHE HAS ALSO HAD HER TV STINT FROM HER OWN SHOW TO THE PCD JUDGE THING TO BEING A TOP CONTENDER ON DWTS.
