In an interview with Vibe.com, Cash Money’s Birdman spoke on a variety of topics including Lil Wayne’s release from Rikers Island, The Carter IV, and even the beef between rappers Nicki Minaj and Lil Kim.
According to Birdman Lil Kim may have “asked for” her current rivalry with the rising Young Money star.
“Real talk, but maybe Kim asked for it,” said Birdman when asked about Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj. “Usually we don’t try to make money like that…that’s not our theory. We make great music. We have never been the type to make songs about motherfuckas. I think Nicki is speaking in general, not just Kim personally. A lot of motherfuckers have been hating on her success. To me, they are all asking for it. I don’t think any of them has as a talented clique as Nicki. We a movement.”
A feud between Nicki Minaj and Lil Kim was initially sparked back in June when Lil Kim called out both Nicki Minaj and Diddy at a concert in Baltimore. The feud has continued since that time with Nicki Minaj recently denying reports that she dissed Lil Kim on “Roman’s Revenge,” her song with Eminem.
Aside from speaking on Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj, Baby also revealed that there will be a Young Money/Cash Money tour starting in February 2011 and that The Carter IV will be released early next year as well.
“Well, we have the Young Money/Cash Money tour starting in February so we have a lot of new music coming out. Carter IV is coming out at the top of next year,” Birdman explained to Vibe.com.
we make great music.. lmfao…whole crew is straight garbage!
ur momma was straight garbage last night,she didnt last 4 seconds

i agree to they suck ass.for real though they sound wack
I thought the ablum was to be release the same day if got out fraud ass niggas
thats why i rocks with birdman and wayne because they make good music
its just music folk damn
totally right!!!
the people today don’t have respect for most of the artists… really poor.
Let’s Be Real, The Last Cash Money Album That Made A Impact Was “400 Degrees”. Ya’ll have been making wack music since Mannie Fresh Left 5 years ago. Birdman as a solo artist is a joke,Nikki is gonna get slaughtered by Lil Kim on the mic, Drake is a R&B Singer, Wanye is A Faggot, Bow-Wow-please,Mack Maine,Chuckie,Twist,Jae Millz,Short Dawg,Gudda-Gudda,Tyga are all Trash.Bet The Carter 4 will be one of the wackest Albums of 2011,Fuck Birdman,Young Dummy and Crash Dummy Records.
Yup, YM as a whole is overly hyped music. But Lil’ Wayne between Carter 1 and 2 gets my approval.
Maybe Birdman should give his thoughts on being called out as a liar from the Miami Dolphins owner.
hahaha ^^ dumbasses…
young money’s great! you two are the real faggots!
co sign fo’sure
the above 2 comments fo’sure and yep- are wack. Co-sign the 1st comment 100 % how can u disagree with it.
infinite don’t talk shit! lil wayne is definitely one of the greatest artists of the 21st century! how could YOU agree with the 1st comment?? now THAT’S the real question!!!
Out of all the artist on his roster, Nicki annoys me the least, at least she’s funny sometimes….Drake is boring, Wayne is borderline Homo-rap and the rest them cats are just not worth mentioning
how is lil wayne borderline homo rap?
lil wayne borderline homo rap? hahahaha lmao! YM makes great music so why don’t you accept them as artists and just hate arround like you don’t have a life? dumbasses…
Dont try to bring down Kim’s name just because Pink Friday is WACKKK!!! ya aint slick lmao smhh
At least Nicki has some talent, Kim just a straight up whore.
Let’s face it. Neither one of them are that great. Just like Lil Kim back in her prime Minaj is just here to fill the void (female rapper). She’ll have a couple hot years then spend the rest of her time struggling to remain relevent when the next hot female comes along.
Okay! I’m going to have to call bullshit on this beef. Is it really surprising that they’re beefing again after Nicki dropped singles but not getting the hyped up buzz concerning her album? Her singles even though they’re being played (payola is a beautiful thing) isnt getting that buzz as compared to Kanye album. So to me this is just another way for her to get more attention towards her up and coming album.
Its sad because whoever is marketing her needs to be fired. All the hype she received and no one her your corner can capitalize of it…smh. Dont get me wrong she will sell. But not as much as she should concerning the potential and press she has been receiving.
No Hate just my opinion. If you like the album go and buy it. But for now the only song with her im looking forward to is “Monster” on KANYE ALBUM
PEACE
How is Nicki a movement? Don’t get me wrong I like the stuff she’s featured on. However, her own singles are garbage and she’s a recycled Lil Kim and Missy in one. So I don’t understand this “movement” she’s making.
why yall niggas really tryin to understand nicki music? that shit aint for yall dumbasses its for bitches. she just great eye candy for us. unless you a homo no man should be even thinkin about buyin or bumpin her album. but nicki is better than kim in everyway. when i was little and kim was big NO dudes were sayin she a beast. niggas just wanted to smash. nicki is kim 3.0; more ass, better titties and WAYYYY better face.
TRU
Kim got the better face and nickis tits are fake
I’m all for niggaz making their money and i’m not one to hate but seriously in all seriousness FUCK Young Money. Lets get real here…Nicki is not a movement….. EVERYONE not named Drake Lil Wayne (and to an extent….and i use the word extent lightly) Birdman. it’s just a bunch of niggaz trying to feed off the spotlight wayne and drizzy give…and to be honest NEITHER of them is consistant…..drakes album was a disappointment. I couldn’t wait to see this nigga’s album and it sucked. seriously man it sucked….and you can call me a hater but i’m not cuz i want Drake and weezy to put out hot shit…..but they aren’t. man Wayne’s buzz starts because he shoves music down your throat. before jail he was always putting something out. And he just had mindless supporters…..Drake has the ability to be huge (see J.Cole) but he needs to get off this young money shit… I’m sorry to all you die hard Young Money fans…but they aren’t a movement…they are a gimic….G-Unit style…. So if you want some real shit… FNF LUPE ALL DAY
I agreed with you up until the G-unit part. The important members of G-unit (Game and Buck(formally), 50 Cent, and Lloyd banks) excluding Yayo are all very solid artist.

stupid niggaz/bitches better not confuse this with “hate” but young money is gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarbage
dont even pay attention to that shit. mainstream as a whole is in pretty bad shape right now. saturating society with negative images, themes and messages and they’re not even talented. It’s all just marketing schemes and gimmicks. even Jay-Z’s audio egineer Young Guru said right now nonsense is selling. But then again music is all preference but real heads now what’s really good.
”We make great music” .. ”I don’t think any of them has as a talented clique as Nicki. We a movement”. LOL birdman is deluded. wrong. trippin off the juice if u will
ill fuck them both but kim makes better music.besides that cash money is trash and i wouldnt ever buy anything they make.theyre garbagio!
i thought biggie wrote kim’s lyrics?????????? if so there’s nothing to speak on. kim had a ghost writer and not just any ghost writer but a legend. sorry even if nikki aint that hot she still get the nod for penning her own ish
You “thought” biggie wrote her shit? where’s ya proof? the only people that have ever made up that biggie wrote Kim’s shit is her haters, aint no one legit has ever said Big wrote her shit
kim made 3 albums after big died, if they only had enough unreleased material for life after death what makes you think biggie wrote kim 4 albums worth of songs 😉
a movement…with a gay flag on it and the overriding stigma of talentlessness
Cant believe how many peeps have gone: Im not hating but fuck ____.. Dumbest thing Ive ever heard. Definition of hating! I can see Im in the serious minority here, but while weezy isnt at the level he was Carter II/Dedication 3.. he still makes hot songs, No Ceilings was only last year and it was one of the best mixtapes youll hear. Also I loved Thank me Later, didnt understand the hate, I still listen to it all the time now.. Lastly Nicki may come off like a gimmick but shes more talented than half the male rappers out there, even on that romans revenge song she had a cool flow, just gotta get past the gay beat..So people hate young money but theyre a pretty solid collective really. Also Tyga is underrated, he’s the kind of dude that will be noticed in a year or two cos he’s quietly going about his biz and getting better all the time. Laugh if you want, IDGAF!
hAPPY friday
Instead of saying what sucks for not making legit music like he did around the Carter I/II era, congratulate and applaud him for being able to adjust to a new time period by making music to suit these new conditions and make money. He’s just making smart business senses, I know he still has those killer instincts within him.
instead of saying Wayne sucks*
Birdman is trippin off Wayne’s syrup
Hows birdman gonna say “I don’t think any of them has as a talented clique as Nicki” i like Nicki but Kim has got that fire… and why is the media making out Kim started this shit… Nicki was making stabs at kim mildly in her freestyles. But when Kim came back at her and made it clear it was hear everyones like aww shiit Kim hatin on Nicki. Fuck it bring the beef! and anyone herd that Gloria Velez track dissing Nicki its pretty good
I don’t think any of them has as a talented clique as Nick! Kim had Big he’s more talented then all of young money put together not to mention diddy, junior mafia!
To the nigga on here who said “When he was growing up nigga was not bumping Kim they just wanted to smash” will that is bullshit cause I heard niggas and bitches bumping Kim back in the day, Kim is a beast and I heard Nicki album and Kim was right “That bullshit ain’t fucking with her old shit, “La Bella Mafia” would murda “Pink Friday” hands down, Nicki is not that tight, I m getting sick of people saying she is better then half of the dudes just because she got a body and ya’ll want to fuck, I bet half of ya’ll niggas beat off to her pictures…(PAUSE and Chuckle like Lil Wayne), yeah maybe better then half of the dudes in “Young Money” but come the fuck on now she is not that tight, I can name a bunch of Female rappers that would eat her ass up, Rah Digga, Da Brat, L boggie, Rage, Boss and I m just going off of Boss old shit lmao, Eve, come on now, Nicki looks good and I respect her grind and I like some of her shit, she puts music out there and keep it coming and that is why she is what she is today, I will not buy her shit cause I don’t like her all that much but hard work pays off but once she ain’t hungry no more we will see how tight she really is cause Kim was still dropping heat while she was eatting well and I think she is going to get in Nicki ass soon….ya’ll young niggas need to stop think these so called old cats hating and ain’t got it no more, if these new MC’s can’t pay there respect to the ones who pave the way for them and made this shit possible then you will get burn cause most of them still got it and Kim STILL GOT IT!! People keep saying Kim started it or Nicki started it fuck that, Nicki need to reach out and make shit clear, stop going on the radios and saying on your interviews that you do have a problem with Kim, she needs to reach the fuck out to Kim and let her know face to face or voice to voice….THAT’S HOW YOU RESPECT SOMEONE WHO MADE IT POSSIBLE!!!
couldnt agree with u more some pple juss talking crap wen kim drops an album like she said she gonna erase that bitch’s social security number!!!
Stop going on the radios saying you don’t have a problem with kim and reach the fuck out to kim.
Who the fuck does nicki minaj think she is anyway takin shots at kim. stop and think about that. nicki needs a slap! got no motherfuckin respect
man lil kim betta sit down niki is takin over nothin else to be said
Kim ain’t even all that, I mean she was hype as a b back in her day. but no one is rockin with her now I haven’t heard her name in a minute till about august. Even back then all the niggas wont rockin with her like that. Plus Biggie wrote all her shit, I mean if you goin diss somone be original Kim don’t use a song so old that they don’t even play it on the throwback joints no more. I’m just saying Kim need to step her game up if she gone make a comeback just comeback don’t use another hype female rapper to get you. Step your game up Kim and Nicki keep makin the money.
yo guys…
I don’t understand why ya all screamin yo ass of just ’cause you think YM is wack? leafe your shit in ya closet and stop hatin’ arround. don’t you have a life at all? get a wife or children or work. just stop yellin’ at shit, did you ever noticed that nobody wants to hear it?
Honestly, there’s a lot to be said by the fact that Nicki has to copy almost every damn thing that Kim’s done. If she were so damn fly she’d get her OWN style and not have to bite off Kim’s. And for all these fools sayin “Oh I haven’t heard about Kim in a min” … If someone came up outta nowhere tryin to bite off Pac, Biggie, or ANY great artist’s style from back when, you know how lame that would look?? If you’re so damn good then why can’t you do your own shit?
Mike you are dum,all the female rappers you name didn’t write there own rhymes.why do you think they faded away.and rap was different then,they are not battle rappers.so better Nicki,nope.now if you said Mia x,eve,m.c.lyte and latifah,then I could fill you.and let’s not forget lil Kim old shit ok what about it bigga wrote most of it.
