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.

Bad Boy Records’ former first lady Faith Evans recently chopped it up with BV Buzz and discussed her latest business ventures, her new album and explained her absence from the music industry.

“It’s been five years,” she told BV Buzz. “I didn’t intend for it to be this long. It’s not like I had a time in mind. Adding, “My career is a big part of my life, but it’s not my life. I got four kids and that in itself alone was the main reason I took time off. I’ve had to take care of home and keep things in order there first before I could even consider doing music again. For me to be able to take the time to do this, I had to plant something with them. I couldn’t give the attention to projects like this and not give them their attention and stay on top of things the way I needed to.”

We totally agree with Faith…family definitely comes first!
