The bad blood between Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj is well documented.
And though it’s been a while since the rap royals traded jabs, folk have been re-heating their beef in the run-up to the release of Onika’s new album ‘Queen.’
Most notably given the Queen Bee moniker being one synonymous with Kim first.
During an interview to promote new single ‘Nasty One,’ the female rap pioneer was asked directly about the matter – and her response may surprise.
See what we mean below…
First admonishing the Real 92.3 host for even asking the question, she went on to stress that the narrative surrounding female rappers shouldn’t be about beef but rather their musical output. She even says of Minaj: “God bless her, I wish her the best.”
Peep the full segment…
Kudos to Kimberly for keeping it trill and steering the narrative in a different direction.
In times of past, she’s fallen for the okey-doke, gotten worked up, and boom birthed headlines that make her look bitter. By taking control of her narrative and the broader narrative (about the media’s interaction with female rappers), she pivots to a more positive place.
Now, bring on that long-awaited album.

She sounds bitter.. she didn’t even call her by her name. She said ol’ girl.. and said she know what she did. You can’t control the narrative and not look bitter and if you get all worked up and look like you mad about it.
there was NOTHING bitter about what she said. she handled that like a GROWN WOMAN. She is TIRED of ya’ll trying to keep bringing up NICKI. nicki IS OVER. Let Kim do her thing
lmao um no, botched kim is still clinging to nicki’s name to bring attention to these flops she keeps releasing. shes BITTER and FAKE gurl, and has BEEN over since flip phones were still in style lmaooooo, that why she keeps nickis name in her plastic jaws lmfaoooo
Lmao @ nicki is over
Word and shes right Kim earned that titled before even saying it herself by the Culture. S*** we all know Michael Jackson is the King of Pop, but he too never proclaim that titled to after Elizabeth Taylor addressed him as the King back in the 80s and ever since after everyone stated the same he was the King. Nicki is being called by the fans not the industry or culture itself
Lmfao H**, MJ is a bad exemple matter of fact it was his team who called him “The King of Pop” in the memorandums given to the press ahead of the release of Dangerous (album).
But of course we all know his talented and consider him as the king!
Here you have the full statement that was published in MNE magazine at that time (you can google it)
“Black Or White’ Jackson’s electric first single from ‘Dangerous’ received a regal welcome. Any TV outlets that wanted to premiere the video had to pledge to call him ‘The King of Pop’, and MTV’s on-air staff were even sent a memo telling them to refer to him by this title at least twice a week. The horse-trading paid off, with around half a billion people watching the video’s unveiling.”

Wow Farrah that was a clock lol
@ Farrah you’re wrong dear. Elizabeth Taylor was the first person to publicly call Michael “The King of Pop” when she presented him the Sammy Davis Jr. Award for Entertainer of the Year at the 1988 Soul Train Awards. His team was not involved. You can Google that too.
Well Nicki was mad with cardi for not recognizing her accomplishments so yeah
Bet you were going YASSS and clapping and praising when Nicki was fake crying about being “hurt” by Cardi when truly she was just bitter.
There is MANY interviews where Nicki refuses to name Kim by name.
tbh she sounded the exact opposite of bitter.
I don’t know what you watched but she controlled the narrative and she said she sized her well. ??♂️ She always supports female rappers and new artists she’s close with Cardi And always supported her. Ol girl knows what she did is true though!
Lil Kim DID THAT
HARDCORE is a classic. Nothing ol girl has done will have the Iconic status of HARDCORE. Each track was blazin, she spit PURE fire
The FACTS of LIFE lol ☕️ ??
Hardcore is only a classic because of the time it was release. If lil Kim releases that exact same music today y’all would be calling it garbage.
No, Nicki Minaj doesn’t have classics, her career is too new to get to classic. The same way nothing Beyonce ever release apart from DCs music is classic.
HARDCORE – IS A CLASSIC. YOU PUT IN ON IN ANY CLUBS AND IT ROCKS. HARDCORE IS STILL A BOP
If Beyonce doesn’t have any classics then Rihanna most definitely doesn’t have any. DIL,Bday,IASF(an album that continues to keep finding it’s way back on to the billboard 200, almost a decade after its release).
I don’t think you know what a classic is exactly.
Hardcore is a classic! It was the long awaited solo debut album from Lil Kim! It changed the image of female rap and left a lasting impression on its genre for decades now.
Hardcore is indeed a classic. You don’t get to throw events away because you weren’t there to experience them. I’m not surprised though. The things that frequent this site still think Tinashe is going to magically become a force in mainstream and that Ciara is on the same level of Rihanna and Beyoncé.?
How did you make this about Beyonce? wow you’re obsessed.
Hardcore is a classic! If it came out now or then FACTS END OF! ? ?
Aww this is why kim will always be that girl! Queen of hip hop for sure!
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
lmao this plastic has been from the 90’s is STILL riding nicki’s name for relevancy??? lmfaoooo plasticwoman brings a whole new meaning to the word PATHETIC lmfaoooooooooooooooooooo
U calling Kim plastic and what the hell is Nicki and her bucket of parts made from as well. Nicki’s karma is biting her right in her caulk filled ass.
Ole fix-a-flat a*** is experiencing KARMA. Peasant will flopppppp.
One ass compared to nose done multiple times
Cheeks chin jaw eyes b****** hips and ass
lmaooo bissh bye, Barbie has less plastic & rubber cement in her than that botched science project who hasn’t been relevant since bill clinton was president. u tried it tho lmfaoooo
@ ??? I didn’t know Bill Clinton was President in 2003 when The Jump Off and Magic Stick were burning up the charts.
At least Nicki can fix her ass if she wants to. Lil Kim, on the other hand, had to go mess with her face because men were telling her she was ugly. She should just release “Thriller 2”.
The real ? Queen
Just last month, Lil Kim pulled a Mariah Carey with “I don’t know her”.
Nicki said it best back in 2010: “Nobody was playin your music and you damn sure couldn’t get an interview to save your life. You getting interviews and every time you do interviews they’re asking you about Nicki Minaj.” No one gives a s*** about Lil Kim anymore. All they care about is the beef. Lil Kim ended her own career.
More fuel to the Nicki hate train. ?You just don’t learn, do you?
Queen 8-10-18 get your life
Delusional and now everyone is bringing up Cardi B in Nicki Minaj interviews.
How to expect Card B to stand the test of time without knowing how to write her own verses or change up her flow? Nicki Minaj can’t be replaced overnight, just like Lil Kim was not replaced overnight. Also, Nicki Minaj is handling this situation better than Lil Kim.
@ Beam Me Up Scotty
She may very well not stand the test of time. But no she didn’t handle it that well with how she went on that interview crying about how Cardi doesn’t show her enough “genuine love.”
Kim doesn’t know ol girl.. she doesn’t know her. Let me know Queen Bee
I’m with Kim. Same with asking female artists about Beyoncé. Just stop! Let an artist have their shine
Kim’s been named Queen of Rap since “1994” nothing Tricki Garbagh has done seals the deal as her being a queen of ANYTHING!! She’s a fraud and most folks know that!! What song by her has been placed to where she can keep performing it and receive the love Lil’Kim gets when she performs???”Bzzz”?
