Looks like Lil' Kim is trying to knock Nicki Minaj off of her hip-hop throne.
Just one day after Beyoncé released the official "Flawless" remix, which features the 31-year-old rapper and even addresses Solange and Jay Z's infamous elevator brawl, the "Magic Stick" artist fired back at her hip-hop counterpart, seemingly taking issue with the fact that Minaj called herself the "Queen of Rap."
At the end of Minaj's verse in the epic remix, the "Super Bass" beauty says, "The Queen of Rap slaying with Queen Bee"—and apparently, Lil' Kim wasn't too fond of those words. So naturally, in response, the self-proclaimed real Queen of Rap (at least, according to her Twitter bio) tacked on her own verse to the single and slammed the former American Idol judge.
"Am I trippin' or did this hoe just say my name/ Queen of Rap, get f--k outta here/ Queen's back, get f--k outta here/ Time to get this rap bitch up outta here," Lil Kim says before concluding, "Damn, it's a shame I gave you the rope/ Bitch I want you to hang."
Ouch.
This isn't the first time Lil' Kim has dissed Nicki Minaj. During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live back in February 2010, the new mom was asked to share her thoughts on Minaj's single "Stupid Hoe"—and no surprise, she didn't hold back.
"If you have to make a song called 'Stupid Hoe,' you must be a stupid hoe," she said.
No word yet whether Minaj has caught wind of Lil Kim's "Flawless" offense. But if we had to guess, we'd bet this is hardly the end of their beef.
