“Wanna rumble with the bee?”

It appears the answer to Lil Kim‘s infamous question is being answered by…K. Michelle.

The R&B songbird has engaged in a feverish exchange of words with the rapper in recent months, with tension reaching boiling point this week.

As reported, outspoken K. laid into Kim on The Breakfast Club on Tuesday when quizzed about her thoughts on the femcee’s response to her comments in a previous interview.

Last night saw new mother Kim clap back, which meant a response from Michelle (whose new album ‘Anybody Wanna Buy A Heart’ hit stores this week) was almost certainly nigh.

Needless to say, it arrived moments ago.

Find out what she had to say below…

As many a TGJ reader has pointed out time and time and time again, radio deals may buy hits but will always fall short when tasked with securing the support of a loyal album-buying fan base.

This week, K. Michelle and J. Cole stand as living proof of that, set to see their new albums rock the ‘Billboard 200’ with stellar first week sales without the benefit of a hit single on the ‘Hot 100.’
