The original “Queen of Hip-hop” Lil Kim makes it clear that she’s not going to back down and she’s ready to reclaim her throne by any means necessary–even if she has to step on Nicki’s neck. OUCH! The pint-size rapper paid a visit to Hot97 earlier today where she gave buddy Angie Martinez a great interview, which in my opinion was funny as hell. Kim talked about a range of topics from Faith Evans and the Notorious biopic to expressing her discontent with her clone Nicki Minaj and her crumbling relationship with Diddy.

On her relationship with Diddy:

“I’m sick of it. I’m sick of him at least not being loyal to one person… Be loyal to one person, and then maybe I can open my arms back up to you. I felt like out of everybody, he should have done that to me… My problem with you, Puffy, was the fact that you sit there and say you would never let homegirl talk reckless about me but you on a record and she talking reckless about me.”

On her beef with Nicki Minaj:

“I’ve always tried to remain as humble as possible, so even though people felt like, ‘Kim is Hollywood. She don’t know what’s going on in the streets,’ I always kept my ear to the streets. I’m always on the Internet. I saw her coming up. I saw her making her way… And I saw her coming in the game like, ‘All you chicks that been in the game for 10 years move over. Y’all need to sit down’—I thought that was disrespectful. [We] put together a little collage that we gon’ show and put out there just so people can see the history of how she came into the game and what she was doing and why this might have been offensive not just to me but to other females in the industry.”

Glad that it took Nicki Minaj’s swagger jackin’ a$$ to make Kim realize that her presence in the game is greatly missed. And for those of you calling Kim a hater and saying that she’s bitter, she has every reason to be mad. Nicki straight up jacked her style and has the world forgetting who was the originator. As for her thoughts on Diddy, she’s right! Dude is an opportunist. Hopefully, Kim will use this beef  as a way to finally put out some heat.

“So are you playing the role of a rapper right now?”
“umm I dunno. Maybe I was just audiotining to see if I could kick everybody’s ass and then I’ll gracefully bow out and say I’m done, next role, next script.”*laughs*

Earlier this week, news of a Rutger’s University freshman who committed suicide after his roommate exposed his sexual encounters with another man on the Internet spread like wildfire. Cyberbullying is becoming a major problem in the United States especially with the increase use of social media networks like Facebook and Twitter. Well, MTV wants those who are being targeted to know that it’s not the end of the world–literally. Nicki Minaj is the latest celebrity to join MTV’s ongoing “A Thin Line” initiative– aimed at individuals who believe they’re being cyberbullied or are looking for ways to stop digital harassment. Young Money’s first lady shared a few words of encouragement for her gay fans with MTV News,

“I would encourage my gay fans to be fighters and to be brave. People face difficulties, no matter who you are. I faced difficulties with a lot of things. I face opposition every day, but I didn’t kill myself and now, thank God, I’m here. So I want my life to be a testimony to my fans and my gay fans.

Fast forward to 0:54 where she just goes blank, trying to figure out what else to say. It’s kind of hilarious.

“Well, it is certainly no disrespect to anyone that is vegan or vegetarian. As you know, I am the most judgement-free human being on the earth. However, it has many interpretations. For me this evening, if we don’t stand up for what we believe in and if we don’t fight for our rights pretty soon, we’re going to have as much rights as the meat on own bones. And, I am not a piece of meat.”

And even shouts out MTV for taking him back!

Last week, ya gurls LexAve & J’More attended a private screening of MTV’s “Drake: Better Than Good Enough” documentary at the MTV offices in NYC. We got to see a few clips of the documentary set to air on Wednesday, June 23rd at 10 p.m. which follows Drake on his “Away From Home Tour“.

Peep what we had to say about Drake and the documentary…

In no way, shape or form am I a stan for Drake, but the documentary left me wanting to see dude actually survive in the game.

Don’t forget to tune in to MTV on Wednesday, June 23rd at 10 p.m. to watch the documentary. It’s definitely a MUST-SEE!

Last week, PaPa Knowles tried to put an end to rumors that Destiny’s Child plans to reunite. Well, MTV recently caught up with Kelly who also insists that the ladies of DC3 have no plans of hitting the studio anytime soon–especially now that she’s doing her solo thing. She says,

“I just released ‘Commander.’ I’m about to release a record, and I’m really just having fun in my own space. Destiny’s Child is a such a huge part of me. And Beyoncé and Michelle are such a huge part of me. We’re sisters, and I don’t expect anyone not to ask that question.”

So can we expect diva Beyonce and Michelle to collaborate with Kelly on her solo work in the near future?

“You know what? Anything can happen! As of right now, there is no Destiny’s Child collaboration.”

There really is no point of Destiny’s Child reuniting. A reunion would just slow down Kelly and Michelle’s solo careers as they’ll end up being overshadowed by Beyonce again.
