Earlier this week, That Grape Juice reported the news that Rap Prima Lil Kim had taken to the studio with 50 Cent to record a follow up to their smash hit release ‘Magic Stick‘.

Expected to feature on Ms. Jones’ upcoming EP, due out in a few days time, the snap’s arrival also comes a week after the release of ‘Stupid Hoe‘, the latest track aimed at the Rapper by Pop Princess  Nicki Minaj ,who has been engaged in a war of words with the performer since 2010.
