Nicki Minaj Praises Lil Kim, Salutes Her Influence on Joe Budden Podcast

Published: Wednesday 9th Mar 2022 by Sam

For years, it’s been clear that there was no love lost between Nicki Minaj and Lil Kim.

However, it would appear that time heals all wounds.

Because a mere matter of months after Kim surprised fans by mentioning Minaj as her dream opponent in a celebratory VERZUZ, Onika has returned serve with a major compliment of her own.

Full story below…

Speaking about how many acts went without getting their flowers only for the new class to get theirs, Minaj drew on her lack of Vogue covers and made mention of Kim being deserving too.

She told Budden:

“Let me make sure I say this… because you know how they like to twist my words. 

The same way I feel I should have been on the cover of American Vogue, so should Lil Kim (have been). If we being all the way a thousand. 

If this is what your magazine represents…influence. [How do you not grant us covers]. If we being honest. Because when myself or Lil Kim goes on the internet, every day we see our influence. We will see our influence. So, I’m not gonna say it’s about me only and not give  that woman [Kim] her dues.” 

With that, what are…

  3. Farrah’s luggage (8k Camila) March 9, 2022

    Y’all don’t realize she’s hiding behind showing Kim respect in order to throw a sub at Cardi given it was Cardi who graced the cover of Vogue instead? Nicki you’re bitter and looking every bit of it! Be careful, you’re too old now and aging badly

    • Flyyy March 9, 2022

      🤣 You’re literally a whole STAN. Always the first to comment on a Nicki post 🤧. You’re invested, admit it.

      • Farrah’s luggage (8k Camila) March 9, 2022

        Not as invested as Nicki clearly is with those facial fillers. Face looking puffier and fluffier than a couch cushion

      • Flyyy March 9, 2022

        @Farrah’s luggage (8k Camila) I just would seriously like to know how you can be so pressed over someone you’ve never met? 🥴 it’s very much giving psychopath.

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 March 9, 2022

        Yet she stays on your mind and in yo gap tooth mouth 24/7. The way Bam Bam stays on repeat in yo dusty tractor.

      IkFR 🥴

  12. Anne March 9, 2022

    “our influence”…she’s clearly trying to claim equal credit for the influence that Lil Kim had in the first place. She in no way acknowledged that Lil Kim influenced her. Seems like Nicki will always make half a$$ attempts to give Kim credit.

  13. NickiLOVESmolesters March 9, 2022

    Nicki’s fake plastic parts have given her cancer. She’s dying. That’s where all this is coming from. Rest in Hell Nicki as the secretary of Cardi B’s Demon Fan Club.

    • UHoesFunny March 9, 2022

      You’re gonna eat those words 💀

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 March 9, 2022

  14. Shayla Queen™ 👑 March 9, 2022

    It HURT her to even SAY IT! Stuttering like a B****!! 🤣

    • Farrah’s luggage (8k Camila) March 9, 2022

      Stuttering because of those botched facial fillers. ALLEGEDLY

  15. DC3 FOREVER March 9, 2022

    Here is the thing. She’s never NOT given Kim her props. She’s always said great things about Kim. Kim had an issue with Nicki biting her style and so that’s where the beef stemmed from.

    • KingMenow March 9, 2022

      Lies. Nicki always been a hater, arrogant, and cocky. Now her career is done and over with for years and she’s trying to act as if her influence on the culture of hip-hop is a 10th of Kim’s is laughable. Like no Nicki, you aren’t on Kim’s level, you didn’t have the impact on Female rap or the culture Kim had.

  16. What would Whitney do March 9, 2022

    You know what I’m done with this b*******. Real b*******

  17. True Tea March 9, 2022

    Lil’ Kim did Influence Nicki’s experimental, colorful, playful sense of fashion. Also remember when Kim wore the outfit w/ one nipple hanging out. Back then, the nipple was very Iconic & groundbreaking for ALL Women.

    However we can say Lil’ Kim was Influenced by Cher. Lil’ Km brought the whole s*** bad girl persona into Hip-Hop. She was also the 1st who talked about sucking d*ck & getting her box ate.

    In the 90’s, this was very much taboo in music still. So yes Lil’ Kim changed the Rap game for Female MC’s & made it acceptable for women to be more explicit when expressing themselves.

    But musically Nicki is NOT the same as Lil’ Kim. Nicki’s music & style has more range to a point where she could also be compared to Mainstream POP artists. She’s also in their lane as well. And a lot of POP artists switched their style up because of Nicki. Her impact on MAINSTREAM POP & Hip-Hop is much bigger.

    • Shayla Queen™ 👑 March 9, 2022

      Take up tongue ALL the way out of Nicki’s pèdo loving p****! Stank heffa!

      • True Tea March 9, 2022

        Shut up hater! Y’all mad because ur FAV has to thumb through Nicki’s catalog for Inspiration when creating MAINSTREAM Hip-Hop.

        Doja Cat: Nicki is one of my biggest Inspirations, lol

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 March 9, 2022

        Doja’s music is NOTHING like Icky Nicky’s! 😂 Now we KNOW you a crazy heffa 🤣

      • True Tea March 9, 2022

        Dumb B*ch! Did I say Doja’s music was like Nicki’s??

  18. True Tea March 9, 2022

    Now when will other Female rappers who make records such as “WAP” going to give Lil’ Kim her due credit since Lil Kim’ opened doors by being the 1st to make explicit Hip-Hop for Women.

    Keep that same energy for them also.

    • SoNotSorry March 10, 2022

      LMAO Cardi gave credits to Kim many times before and after, what are you talking about?

  19. Iggy Iggs March 9, 2022

    She so fake gurl u mad cuz cardi are up that cover the first and why only a vogue cover why not something more important

    • akathexfactor March 10, 2022

      Lol the cover was terrible tho! It wasn’t a good cover.

  20. JustSaying March 10, 2022

    Nicki Minaj is so fake. So after years of stealing from Kim and dissing her in the process, she now says that herself and Kim influenced the whole of female rap. That is nonsense. Kim influenced this chick, and Nicki will never be Kim’s equal. Kim deserves the cover of Vogue, but Nicki is not a fashion icon. The only reason she is praising Kim is to try to spite Cardi B, who she is insanely jealous of. Everything about her interview was subbing Cardi.

    Kim is the Queen of Rap. Nicki is the fraud of rap. She is seeing what she did to Kim all those years ago happening to her, and she can’t take the karma. It’s too little too late, mama. Your run is done, and the way you tried to discredit Kim is the way you will have ZERO credibility or legacy and everything you worked for will be given to Cardi B.

    • akathexfactor March 10, 2022

      Lol just say you a Nicki hater and leave it at that! Kim was the one who went at Foxy for years over nothing and then Nicki. Kim dedicated a diss mixtape to Nicki too, smh. I guess y’all ignored that too!
