They always gotta throw nicki name in somethin. kim wasn't using the beef to to stay relevent. kim has legendary status how can she not be relevant? It was nicki takin subliminal jabs at kim to get her name out there kim didn't even know of nicki back in 06. nicki was dissin long before kim like a whole 4 years before kim responded with "black friday" so kill that shit. if anybody was ridin the "coattail to success" it was nicki non-lyrical ass capitalizin off the Queen Bee. aND FOR THOSE SAYIN lIL kIM IS BROKE ...HOW CAN SHE BE BROKE AND STILL NAVIGATE AND DO SHOWS OF HER OWN MONEY (NOT A RECORD COMPANY) BUT HER OWN MONEY, AND HAS HER OWN TOUR BUS AND STILL GET MEDIA AS AN INDEPENDENT ARTIST. Lets not forget Kim is the only female rapper besides missy to have 3 or more platinum albums nicki cant even make a full hip hop album cause she and her record company know she not lyrically fit to sell cause the bitch aint got no bars. She will never have Lil Kim or Foxy Brown Status I don't care if she is from NY. If kim never sells another album a day in her life she will still be 10x better than nicki. I know its a good look to see a new female rapper after that long gap but don't get gasses, kim is still the best to ever do it thats why nicki, foxy, and trina followed after kim.
