Nicki Minaj wants the world to know that she has a great deal of respect for the Hip-Hop icon Lil Kim.
The ladies were once engaged in an unfortunate feud which saw Kim release the ill-fated ‘Black Friday‘ in response to Nicki Minaj‘s record-setting debut album ‘Pink Friday’ and jab each other a series of diss tracks and radio interviews.
At the heart of their spat? Kim’s feeling that Minaj did not pay homage to her.
Today, Nicki has revealed that this isn’t the case.
Warm words below…
Minaj had this to say to a critic who responded to an Instagram post she made about her legacy and relationship with other female rappers.
The ladies first and only collaboration came via the track ‘Freaky Girl’.
In the mood for more Minaj news?
Find out how she extended her lead as the highest-selling female rapper of all time with new single ‘Megatron’!

very misleading title.
EXACTLY! The writers of this website go out of their way to paint Nicki Minaj as this present bonafide superstar, who has somehow turned over a new leaf personally, critically & commercially.
SHE HAS NOT!!
Per her most recent QUEEN RADIO appearance and the announcement of her marriage plans to that half of a man she’s with, Nicki is STILL petty, insecure, irrational, highly emotional & completely unfocused.
Her making a quick comment response to a fan does not equate to her paying homage to KIM or honoring the innovator’s legacy.
This website is the ONLY digital brand still making a big, overblown deal about the basic charting position of “Megatron” on iTunes, Spotify, Google Music, Billboard & every other retailer known to man.
They would create an entire article boasting Nicki as “THE FIRST FEMALE RAP ARTIST BORN ON A HALF MOON TO SELL 200 COPIES OF HER 187th SINGLE TO BE RELEASED AT MIDNIGHT ON A FRIDAY MORNING DURING AN EARLY SUMMER MONTH”. That’s how desperate they are to create headlines that somehow illustrate a false narrative of her contemporary success.
Nicki Minaj is intimidated by the likes of any and all female rap stars whose chart positions, popularity, likeness & style stand to create real competition to her own.
and despite anything she attempts to achieve between now and the end of 2020, Nicki has already been brushed aside. she could achieve a number one single tomorrow or a Grammy next season for all intent & purposes. STILL WOULD NOT MATTER!
Cardi B has achieved such industry accolades already. Her personality, style, music videos, debut album, and overall presence stands above Nicki’s entire package at this point. And this website isn’t nearly popular enough amongst the World Wide Web to alter that already accepted narrative.
? ?
Lmfao you are wrong . Nicki is proven better than cardi b and that’s just what it is. And even tho cardi loses that one she would still also be disqualified for not writing her own music.
Bull shytt Nicki tweeted when Cardi got her 1st number that it was an amazing moment in history in that she should be happy and don’t listen to haters but y’all forgot that huh. Even when she just said what she said you’d rather keep it negative. The dumb a s s fans really are the ones who keep beef and negative energy rolling.
“THE FIRST FEMALE RAP ARTIST BORN ON A HALF MOON TO SELL 200 COPIES OF HER 187th SINGLE TO BE RELEASED AT MIDNIGHT ON A FRIDAY MORNING DURING AN EARLY SUMMER MONTH” B**** I am SCALPED.
You murdered this wack blog with one post. Kudos! ?????
SCREAMING ? ? ?
@Brent A fully realized read on TGJ and Nicki Clone-aj! ???
The title is actually spot on. You should go to Nicki’s Instagram page n you’ll see the post she made about foxy, Kim, and dont forget about Remy! Which was a line from the post she made fyi!
PEOPLE CHANGE
EXACTLY! The writers of this website go out of their way to paint Nicki Minaj as this present day, bonafide superstar — one who has somehow turned over a new leaf personally, critically & commercially.
SHE HAS NOT!!
Per her most recent QUEEN RADIO appearance and the subsequent announcement of her marriage plans to that half of a man she’s romantically with, Nicki is STILL petty, insecure, irrational, highly emotional & completely unfocused.
Nicki making a quick comment response to an online fan does not equate to her paying homage to KIM or honoring and praising the innovator’s legacy.
This website is the ONLY digital brand still making a big, overblown deal about the basic charting position of “Megatron” on iTunes, Spotify, Google Music, Billboard or any other music retailer known to man.
The writing staff of TGJ would create an entire article boasting Nicki as “THE FIRST FEMALE RAP ARTIST BORN ON A HALF MOON TO SELL 200 COPIES OF HER 187th SINGLE THAT WAS RELEASED AT MIDNIGHT ON A FRIDAY MORNING DURING AN EARLY SUMMER MONTH”. That’s how desperate they are to create headlines that somehow illustrate a false narrative of her contemporary success.
Nicki Minaj is intimidated by the success of any and all female rap stars whose chart positions, popularity, likeness & style stand to create any real competition to her own.
When Iggy was gaining steam, the FIRST thing this broad did was take the stage at the BET awards to throw subs about writing her own material. BUT THE THING IS BABY GIRL… yeah, it’s absolutely clear that you write your own lyrics because all of them are surface, repetitious, one dimensional, Elementary & trite.
Why always so desperate to brag about them??
and despite anything she attempts to achieve between now and the end of 2020, Nicki has already been brushed aside. she could achieve a number one single tomorrow or a Grammy next season for all intent & purposes. STILL WOULD NOT MATTER!
Cardi B has achieved such industry accolades & achievements already. Cardi’s personality, style, music videos, debut album, and overall presence stands above Nicki’s entire packaging & brand at this point.
Furthermore, this website isn’t nearly popular or noteworthy enough amongst the World Wide Web to alter that already accepted & celebrated narrative.
So you saying it wouldn’t matter if she gets a Grammy or number one now cause if it happens you can still say she sucks you’re so hypocritical. Also she almost had a number 1 but Taylor Swift who was still more popular than she is now needed up with a number one because of all the teeny boppers that listen to her
@Jasmine1999 do you read your comments before you post them? your thoughts are incoherent. I barely understand anything you’re trying to express.
let me inform you of this…
It was Safaree Samuels, Nicki’s main dude for 15 years who publicly stated that Nicki’s “congratulations” to Cardi was not genuine. he said he knows Nicki’s spirit & heart well enough to know that she posted that for public relations purposes only & knows from being with her that she does not find glory, happiness or praise for other competitors in those types of situations.
and the reason why it’s so easy to believe him is because Nicki’s subsequent actions support his very honest statements.
Brent Christopher why would we believe anything Safari has to say. You sound biased af
@Lil Nas Tee Aws — did your illiterate behinds see the portion of my comment where I CLEARLY STATE that it has been Nicki Minaj’s own actions that make Safaree’s comments believable?
I really wish that unintelligent people were censored. MANY pop culture junkies & pop star stans, lack the ability to READ for understanding.
You saw SAFAREE and just ran with it.
fool!
Playtime is over! Please stop the sensationalism TGJ. Stop it now!
Sadly females will continue to be pitted against each other for the sake of the industry only wanting one female to be in charge. Hopefully all of the pettiness between all female rappers past and present can be put to bed and all of them can shine in their own right.
Nicki tone, voice and the way she says certain words and punch lines always remind me of Kim. Although Nicki is the best female lyrist ever tho.
Excuse you?
That’s Lauryn Hill no doubt. Even minaj bowed down to her and miss Hill was awkwardly laughing because minaj represents everything Hill despise in her lyrics.
Then you have Lyte, Latih, Missy and left eye that are far better lyricists than Minaj
F*** Nicki Minaj she has never paid homage to Kim! Nor do we care if she does at this point Kim is far beyond. Kim is focused on her career her 5th anticipated studio album. That grape juice we don’t have time for these shenanigans. @lilkimthequeenbee is the Queen of rap there is NO COMPARISON! Haters keep makin’ false accusations! Always got Kim’s name in they conversation Kim is still the champion! Girls sell their soul just to have her flow! A lot of rap chicks got opinions about Kim but she still number ONE.
F**k Lil Kim. That b*tch ain’t even Lil Kim no more. Foh. Lmaooooooooooo
THATS FALSE, IDIOT.
Regardless of how someone’s appearance is altered by surgery, poor health, an unforeseen accident or other circumstances, their IDENTITY remains the same.
Stop trying to play the clown & be an adult for a change.
Lil Kim & her iconic legacy as the reigning queen of HIP HOP, will never be replaced.
Kim changed the entire scope of female embodiment in the rap & hip-Hop genre when she originally hit the scene in 1995 alongside junior mafia.
It would be her debut album in 1996 that would shift the lane for female rappers for generations to come.
just LOOK at all of the female rappers of the freshman class. ALL OF THEM look, sound & present themselves in the same vain of KIM’s HARDCORE ERA. These are facts!
Brent Christopher, so hypocritical because just as you exuded an extremely chovanistic viewpoint in a previous comment here I could stand to say that the notorious BIG crafted much of her music
@Lil Nas Tee Aws — ONCE AGAIN.. your illiterate behinds did not fully READ my comments about Kim. NOWHERE in my factual statements about her legacy, do I state or suggest that Kim wrote all, some or any of her lyrics!
I specifically highlight the FACT that her overall presence, look & presentation CHANGED the scope of female rappers in hip-hop. Lil Kim came as a package. NO ONE cared then whether she was penning her lyrical content or not.
She exudes a s** appeal & colorful style that had not been introduced by a solo female rap star up until that point.
LIL KIM IS THE REAL “PINK PRINT” for every black female star that dropped between 2008 through present day.
There isn’t a LOOK, WIG, ENUNCIATION or BROVADO that is presented by Nicki, Meg, Cuban, Kash Doll & the other little rapstresses that wasn’t first introduced by the legendary icon of the past 24 years… THE NOTORIOUS K.I.M. — bow down!! dummy.
Saying “I love you but I hate you” is NOT a compliment and is NOT showing homage! The bish was all “I love Kim but I have what it takes to end her” like bish that is not homage! Why try to end her!? Ugh and her low IQ barboonz will lap this up ?
hell she did have what it takes to end kim, why people get upset with the truth?
Cardi doing what she had to do to end St Nick. Next thing you know that convict husband of hers gon s*** her in the stomach. Keep playing with karma, b*tch. ???????????????
Chile, this isn’t 2010 when Nicki was full of hope and promise! ? This is 2019 and she’s struggling her damn self! She never ended anybody because her music has never been anything classic?? Nicki still looks the same and sounds the same tho, I’ll give her that ?
When y’all gonna fire David? I swear he posts the most false posts about Nicki Minaj everyday! Like dude just Stop!
You fool. They post her everyday because she brings in the web hits which basically means he’s doing his job very well seeing as this is a (wait for it) website.
ONIKA HART is a fake username created by TGJ writers. This isn’t a real commenter of the blog.
This is one of the writers implanting a comment that is to resemble an actual reader.
STOP making false responses in the comment section as a way of protecting yourselves from being called out for your shenanigans.
I’m confused by this article. That grape juice you should take a job In Click bait better yet cat fishing…
The Freaky Girl song is not a real collaboration. Nicki just jumped on that song. Their real collaboration was Grindin’ Making Money on Birdman’s album. Nicki Minaj is a fraud. She tells these lies and fools her moronic fans, but she thinks she’s fooling God and people with brains. It’s not happening. Yes, Nicki shouted out Kim, but then went on to diss her. Her entire first two albums were based on dissing Kim. She has been dissing Kim since she was with HOODSTARS in the early 2000s. People don’t do their research. PLAYTIME IS OVER is a documentary that’s available on YouTube. Go and watch it. You can’t praise someone in one breath and diss them in the next. That’s how snakes behave. Nicki is a snake.
Anyway, the Kim v. Nicki beef doesn’t matter anymore. Nicki is laying in the bed that she made. Cardi has now taken over as the #1 female rapper, and everything Nicki tried to do to Kim’s legacy and career will happen to her own. Nicki’s fall from the top will be one of the greatest that the music industry has ever seen. What you plan for others will happen to you.

She paid homage, but Kim disrespected her and said she didn’t want to work with her after. That’s why Nicki started dissing don’t leave that part out
Now all the sudden she wanna praise lil Kim because she wants Cardi praise her. Nicki only praises Kim during her mixtape days when she was no one. When she became big she completely dragged Kim. Cardi b is on a level now where she doesn’t have to mention Nicki.
This has really gotten to a point where it’s painful to watch and I wholeheartedly worry about Nickis mental health. But at the same time it’s very hard to feel bad for someone like Nicki.
I guess Nicki though she was going to be on top forever. The way she is feeling now is exactly how Kim and them felt when she was out here killing it and no one was checking for them. Regardless of how Cardi got where she is, having her raps written etc, she’s still #1 right now. And it’s so ugly of Nicki to try to downplay her success. Especially considering that Cardis music is 100 % more popping than nickis right now.
Also I absolutely hate that she is bringing Rihanna and Beyoncé’s name into this. Because unlike Nicki….Rihanna nor Beyoncé feel the need to complete with new talent. They are soo far beyond that.
Let’s be clear about something… Kim never hated on Nicki. She never did. Nicki painted the narrative of Kim being a hater who keeps dissing her when all she has done is show Kim love, and the bandwagon public fell for the lies. Kim is not a hater. If Kim was a hater, she should hate Cardi B now. Cardi is accomplishing things Nicki never did. Where is the hate from Kim? Why didn’t Kim hate Iggy? Kim only dislikes Nicki because Nicki dissed her first.
Nicki really did think she was going to be on top forever, and she never really was the Queen of Rap because to be the Queen of Rap, there has to be other rappers that you are reigning over. Nicki tried to block competition, and the minute she got some real competition in Cardi B, we have seen what has happened. She has been left in the dust. Some queen that is. Kim reigned when all the hottest female rappers were out. That’s why she’s the real Queen of Rap.
Lies all lies.
Unnecessary post
unnecessary comment
NO.. this post IS UNNECESSARY!
the comment perfectly aligns with what is being stated by everyone else.
TGJ needs to stop writing posts that paint a false narrative of Nicki Minaj’s intentions & her semi success.
I’m convinced the people who write for this site don’t do proper research first.
F*ck this blog and f**ck Nicki Garbaj. She made her bed and laid in it for over a decade. The power of gluttony knowing her legacy is forever tarnished. Ooooh chiiile ????????????We been told y’all the truth about this fraud since DAY ONE. She NEVER should have disrespected Kim period. Boohoo too late. Female rap will rise up to throw dirt on her name worst than she did Kim. That’s why she feels it now, nobody respects her fake ass and for good reason. ?????????? Keep streaming Truth Hurts y’all #QueenLizzo4TheCulture
I feel if nicki is genuine today that she respects kim and wants to end the misunderstanding she should do it publicly and bring out kim and do a new collaboration. Then maybe I’ll show her respect.
Maybe you will show her respect…who the fck is you?
Carlos is obviously an intelligent, logical individual who understands that forgiveness & acceptance comes AFTER someone is willing to right their wrongs.
THATS WHO HE IS… you idiot.
Facts
Brent Christopher, please never use the word intelligent again in any form.
@ —
LOL! it obviously offends you that you lack INTELLIGENCE — hence your inability to make statements that extend beyond one sentence or quick phrase. EXPOUND, idiot.
She did NOT celebrate the #QueenBee in any form, shape or fashion. If anything, she clarified HER ONE SIDED narrative. We all know it was MORE than a pose. Miss us with the B.S. minaj!
Celebrate what??? They have done a song together. Nicki has literally named Kim as one of her favorite female rappers in several interviews so what are you talking about
And sneak dissing at the same damn time which voids anything else she has said. Miss me with the B.s.
F**K Lil Kim. She ain’t even Lil Kim no more. That is all. Lmaooooo
You just mad Kim was already a legend when 1995 ended with the Junior Mafia Conspiracy album and her memorable contribution to the Ready To Die album before that. And she became the official Queen Bee in 1996 with her debut Hardcore. Nicki is taking too damn long and still ain’t sh**.
You are so ON POINT lol…you betta stan for the QUEEN BEE ?
They should come together for one really good song! But kim gotta come HARD and nicki has to not sing on it. IMAGINE KIM ON BARBIE DREAMS WITH NICKI!!! https://youtu.be/oMp58oVociw
that is NOT a praise. wtf?
At this point, I can no longer support y’all site. All y’all do is lie for clicks.
:sips truth tea:
I came here for the snacks.
:eats popcorn:
Pardison Fountaine writes cardi music. He wrote “backin it up”. Cardi is number 1 now cuz ppl tired of Nicki period. Let Cardi eat for now cuz a b**** with real body that writes her own bars is on the way, come thru Megan the Stallion ??????
Megan The Stallion doesn’t have the IT FACTOR to become a bonafide, CROSS OVER, mainstream star. She is an urban act & will never graduate out of that lane. She lacks personality & she isn’t at all unique amongst the other 5-7 Asian Doll, Kash Doll, City Girl, Lollipop Trick type female rappers that are falling from the sky this season. There honestly ISNT ROOM for more than one major female rapper at the same time. Megan does not have what it takes to become the global household name that Cardi has achieved within a two year time span.
FORGET ABOUT IT!
Girl sit with these long a** essays saying the same garbage you post on every Minaj post. Whether you like it or not she’s still successful and has definitely influenced the new rappers out even they have said it. You don’t like Minaj but writing book reports on any and every post to do with her. Now sit yo dumbazz down.
Agree she barely cracked top 50
Hot 100 she’s no threat to nobody
The Industry gives us our stars. Cardi didn’t look global either,So I don’t know.If they want Megan they can make it happen
It’s all in their bag of tricks.Im woke just saying
Yet cardi b herself was rewarded by ASCAP for songwriter award why believe u ????
Nicki Garbaj will never be iconic. Every other female rapper off the top of my head is better with truly classic music and iconic rap history behind their come up!

I rather listen to all these women over Nicki. And Nicki is supposed to be queen? Queen of TRASH!
You betta write that TRUTH ✅ ✅ ✅ ? You gotta include BO$$ and Nikki D too! Every name on that list has songs that make you say that’s my JAM ? ? You know your hip-hop! ????
I forgot the real NIKKI D, too busy being distracted by the garbage Nicki. I know Boss too, I knew I forgot some more MC’s from Def Jam.
✅ lol, I’m still reading your list like ?…my goodness, so much TALENT! Let’s add Heather B too! ?? Nicki wouldn’t even make my Top 20 female MC’s and she calls herself Prom Queen ?
AMEN!!
Nicki’s name doesn’t even look right emblazoned alongside those pioneers & living hip-Hop legends✊?
Yes LEGENDARY!
Click Bait….. TGJ articles are nothing but click bait a far cry from where the site started
If someone says “I did her pose to pay homage to her” that is praise. You guys clearly didn’t do reading comprehension in school because you struggle to understand anything unless it’s spelled out for you .
She said way more than this. She also posted like 5 clips of her talking about Kim. She deleted it.
Nicki doesn’t owe Lil’Kim or no one else hat didn’t help get where she is anything. She did several interviews talking about how she looked up to Kim, Foxy, Lauren and others while the whole time Kim and the other old rappers hated on her because she was doing things they never did in their career. Nicki has been overlooked by the Grammys, blackballed by the radio, lied on by journalists, and disrespected by BET and so many others and yet she is still here, she is still the Queen of Rap. She spoke nothing but facts, period. No one ever ask the male rappers to talk or pay homage to the old rappers yet everyone want Nicki to do it. Y’all crazy Nicki, live your life, you don’t owe them nothing. Name one female rapper that was welcoming to Nicki besides Trina, none of them:
YOU COPIED ALL OF THIS FROM AN INSTAGRAM POST MADE 12 HOURS AGO & then a twitter post that a Nicki fan made 8 hours ago.
Why come on here copying & pasting crap from other people. If you are so passionate in your feelings, express original content. Put your passion into your own words instead of rewriting what you saw tweeted, retweeted & re-grammed all day long via social media.
YOU LOOK FOOLISH.
That’s a barb troll for ya…copy and paste demons. ?
This is definitely a rewriting of history. In fact Cardi B said nicer things about Nicki Minaj than Nicki said about Kim. Nicki paid homage AND shaded Kim all in the same sentences if you go back and watch those old interviews.
Oh and TGJ, according to RIAA Cardi B is only 2 million units away from being the best-selling female rapper in singles.
https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/?tab_active=top_tallies&ttt=TAS#search_section
Caleb, you always come with the #RECEIPTS ? ✅ ?
https://tenor.com/view/receipts-whitney-gif-4802457
? ❤️
So do you Fancy BISH ??
Is this for solo singles?
Yes it’s for solo singles. RIAA does not count features towards record sales because they are features.
I didn’t know she got her nose done.
They don’t want camera up there nostrils…
Not helping her iTunes stats number 104 wow ????
She said icon….What more do you want damn.
just like a fat b**** Beyonce keep faking like she never listen to Whitney Houston she never grew up listening to Whitney Houston she never song any with Whitney Houston songs this you just mad because she can sing better than you she’s prettier
And you can fake like you never ever listen to Whitney b**** she is better than you… 20 years you can’t hit the notes like Whitney The Voice Houston
Lmao now she paying people to like Megatron with the #megatronchallenge desperate to make that song a hit now people get 10,000 to win challenge hoping her song don’t flop the desperation
We good over here. No collab necessary.
A reach.
Finally
After School Ep https://hiphopza.com/killer-kau-after-school-ep/
Now Nicki want to apologize since her sales are slipping, not much media play and Card B is out shining her. Too late to show love. Don’t buy it, Kim. Nicki should have never disrespected her from jump!
I know this is old. But the author is misinformed as hell. Freaky Girl was not a collab. Nicki hopped on it. Their only collab was Grinding Making Money, with Birdman.
Fact Check.
