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.

Listen to the full interview over @RR

The Bawse aka Rick Ross is stuck in between two tatted up chicks on the cover of Urban Ink magazine. I don’t have much to say about the cover. I just wish he had a shirt on, but then again it’s a magazine about tattoos.

Sidebar: Ricky Rozay is really tat, tat, tatted the f*ck up! DAMN!

Spotted @MediaOutrage

I’ve got some breaking news! The Queen Bee has finally crossed over to the other side, and by the other side I mean Twitter!  The original Queen of Hip-hop tweeted her first message a few hours ago and wasted no time demanding that Twitter bosses verify her ass. Yep, Kim may act like she’s a valley girl, but she’s still a BK chick at heart! The pint-size rapper is already following a few of your favorite celebrities including Diddy, Kim Kardashian and even train wreck Lindsay Lohan to name a few.

Well, you can now follow The Queen Bee on Twitter @LilKimDaGoddess .

I’m surprised the fail whale didn’t pop up, ’cause you know when the Queen comes through…everything shuts down!  But, what took her so long to hop on the Twitter bandwagon?

Here’s a new Rick Ross video for “B.M.F. (Blowing Money Fast)”. This Maybach Music goes real hard…*PAUSE*

Sidebar: Diddy just had to throw Circo in the mix…smh

Damn, Diddy proves yet again that he is the corniest dude on earth–hands down! He just keeps on dancing in other people’s videos and to top it off he’s been rockin’ that wack a$$ grill to compliment his wack a$$ dance moves. Anywhoo, enough about Diddy–who tried to take over the video and let’s get back to Ricky. I’ve been banging this track for a minute and I’m glad the Teflon Don put out a video for it. As for Diddy, seems like he’s mesmerized with his eyes set on Ross to be his Biggie. Is Ricky comparable to B.I.G.? They both do have flow and impeccable style, but…

ON DECK or OFF DECK?!

Will all the talk of Teflon Don Rick Ross being compared to the legend Notorious B.I.G., Diddy stirred up more controversy after calling him “The Biggie of the South”. Vibe recently caught up with Fat Joe and asked him how he felt about Diddy dubbing his new client Rick Ross “The Biggie of the South”.

“He said that? I don’t know man. Diddy’s a smart guy and Rick Ross is smart guy, but I don’t think Ross wants to be Biggie. He can’t be Biggie. There’s no replacing Notorious. No disrespect to Ross’s talent though, because I think he’s one of the nicest rappers in the game. But they always compare new artists to the greats. I understand Diddy though, because I knew Biggie very well and I know Ross. They both are kind hearts and they have a similar aura and demeanor about them. They’re similar in that way.”

Seriously, what do Biggie and Rick Ross have in common other than the fact that they’re rappers who are fat and black. I guess I must be blind ’cause I don’t see see what Diddy’s talking about.

A few hours ago, Str8NYC hopped on a conference call with the “Supreme Team”, Rick Ross, Diddy and DJ Khaled courtesy of Def Jam and BOBO. A few things were revealed on the call, which we’ll get into later. But, we’re gonna touch on Diddy comparing his new client to the late Notorious B.I.G. first. When asked what’s the best quality he sees in Rick Ross as an artist, Diddy responded:

“I think overall his approach to a record, you know what I’m saying? And overall him as an artist. He doesn’t just talk about the regular stuff that you hear a lot of cats talking about now. Everything he talks about is from the soul and is from his heart. And his approach to the record, you know what I’m saying? The way he approaches the record is from a real standpoint, you can tell he’s approaching it from an honest standpoint. You know, I’ve always been wanting to work with artists that have a certain vocal tone and he sounds like a giant–he is a giant. He just has that personality, you know what I’m saying? He’s a very unique artist. He’s bigger than just an artist–he’s a brand! And that’s one of the reasons I wanted to work with him is because I feel we can do bigger and better things. And having worked with Biggie, somebody that also was talking about things in the street. I’m not comparing him to Biggie, before you know we get started going down that road. But, I am saying that there is similarities in the mental approach of a record that I do have a familiarity with. To me, however anybody wants to take it–he’s the Biggie of the South. Hands down!”

WHOA! Realtalk, Biggie and Rick Ross shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same sentence. The only thing they have in common is that they’re both fat and black. Rick Ross may talk about the streets, but his past as CO tells a completely different story.

Be on the look out for more tidbits from the call…

Diddy and his Dirty Money honey’s Dawn and Haleena took the stage yesterday morning for Good Morning America’s Summer Concert Series in Central Park in NYC. The trio performed their hit single “Hello, Good Morning” sans Teflon Don Rick Ross and T.I., as well as a few Bad Boy classics.

Check out backstage footage of Diddy and his crew.

Peep Dawn’s boo and ex-member of Day26 Que singing back-up at 0:43. How random is that?! Damn, dude went from being in a group to singing background for his shorty’s group?!

Earlier this week, we reported that Lil Kim threw a few shots at her imitator aka Nicki Minaj’s way. Well, yesterday while performing in at Webster Hall in NYC, the Queen Bee had a few more words for the Barbie and got a lil’ help from Brandy’s baby brother Ray J. Being the media whore that he is, Ray J hopped on stage and instigated the whole thing calling Nicki out to which Kim responded,

“We love ‘em. We love ‘em. We just want them to pay homage, so we can all ride together that’s all. It’s all about respect. You respect me. I respect you. If you don’t respect me, then fuck you!”

Peep the video…

WOW!

Honestly, when I first saw the video of Kim throwing shots at Nicki I thought it was a dumb move, but this is the perfect time for the Queen Bee to make her return. The rap world was just waiting for the Notorious K.I.M. to launch an attack at the Young Money wannabe and I for one want them to battle it out on a track. Realtalk, for all those talking about Nicki Minaj can flow better than Kim, y’all are obviously on drugs ’cause Kim will eat her silicone injected a$$ for dinner!

For those of you who really wanted the Queen Bee aka Lil Kim to send Barbie Nicki Minaj’s silicone injected a$$ back to Malibu, unfortunately we’ve got some bad news. A few weeks ago, the net went crazy with news that Jay-Z scooped Lil Kim and signed her to Roc Nation and that we could expect an official announcement to come–which we’re still waiting for.

Well, folks something just doesn’t seem right. When was the last time Lil Kim was spotted with Jay-Z?! *crickets*

Exactly! This is obviously just a rumor and according to our snitches it’s all smoking mirrors. So don’t hold your breath for an official announcement.

It’s about damn time Diddy graced the cover of XXL magazine and we couldn’t help but wonder what took the publication so long to put his face on the cover anyway. Well, Diddy makes it very clear why it’s all about him and breaks down why he was the “first” to do anything in Hip-hop.

Check out this excerpt…

“I was the first on the jet. I was the first running the marathon. I was the first donating millions of dollars. I was the first. I was the first with the 10 million records sold. I was the first with the label. I was the first with the renegotiations. Fuck a Forbes list—I was on the cover of Forbes. There is going to be someone that will pass me, but as long as I’m on the court, they are not going to be badder than me, because there is too much catching up to do…There is not one muthafucka that’s here now who is going to outwork me. That is not going to happen, not right now. Maybe if I slow down, but to this day, no one can fuck with me when it comes to getting busy and working.”

Sounds like Diddy feels a certain way, if ya ask me. And who can blame him? The man isn’t lying about being the “first”, but it’s quite obvious that he’s been overshadowed by Hip-hop colleague, Jay-Z. Diddy may have been the first, but Jay is the “best to ever to do it”. Dude is breaking bread with mayors, governors and even the president! Seems like Diddy should be the one playing catch up.
