‘Up’ hitmaker Cardi B is fed up with the enduring criticisms launched the way of Lil Kim.
Granted, the legendary rapper – who has long expressed her fondness of Cardi (even garnering headlines for crowning her the official princess of Rap) – has enjoyed no shortage of reverence from industry peers and a legion of diehard fans (affectionately called #KillerBees) over her 25+ year career.
Yet, that hasn’t stopped some from taking aim at the 47-year-old’s appearance, career status, or personal troubles (i.e. legal, financial, romantic, etc.) – all of which are immaterial to Cardi (born Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar), who took to social media Tuesday (December 21) to defend her Rap idol.
Look inside to see exactly what she said.
Alongside a retweet, Almánzar set her sights on the ‘kids’ who are disrespecting the Queen Bee.
As her tweet garnered attention from over 10,000, one commenter urged a collaboration between the GRAMMY winners.

Don’t care what anyone says you can easily hear the Lil Kim major influence in both Nicki’s and Cardi’s tone, delivery, cadence and even topics.

She can’t even go top 40. A whole clown
Give Kimmy her flowers! Nicki started this hate train towards Kim, and now karma came right back around
Lie again
Ray j put the battery in Kim back to start beef wit Nicki she the one who started reposting playtime is over her fans made and going on radio shows
Nicki is above cardi in year end streams despite cardi having 3 diamond singles
How does that happen ????? 😂😂😂😂🤦🏽♂️
20 years ago Kim and Missy was what Nicki and Cardi are to female rap nowadays the heavyweight contenders. I will always love Kim’s iconic career and I don’t like the hate she receives either. I do think she needs better ppl in her corner because she has taken some mis steps the last 12 years.
I love to see Queens uplift eachother!! Kim is a LEGEND! These cyber bullies are literally miserable teens who create hate pages to Stan their faves and know nothing about musical impact before 2010… SAD SMFH
Kim paved the way for your faves. Stop playing with her name.
This!
These kids only look for pandering, gimmicks & shock value. They know nothing about getting a whole crowed hype because ur energy is contagious.
Hopefully Lil’ Kim is here to show mush mouth how to pronounce her words, rap on beat & perform without pandering to the LGBTQ community by scissoring other h/o/e/s.
Lil’ Kim is an actual Entertainer whereas Cardi is simply playing her reality TV character.
