A few days ago Lil’ Kim took to Twitter to announce that she not only sold 113,000 mixtapes in 28 hours, but broke PayPal records. Given the $10 price tag on a largely free medium, not to mention to current sales climate, many people doubted the legitimacy of those numbers.
Rap-Up.com caught up with Kim and asked her about those figures, the former Junior M.A.F.I.A. rapper did not back up her words.
“There was actually a representative at PayPal who basically didn’t really confirm or deny it, but also [said] that they’re very happy and proud of the success of Lil’ Kim,” she said when asked of the authenticity of the sales figures. “I think numbers in other areas speak for themselves. I mean, why aren’t they questioning the Black Friday being at 2.5 [million views] in less than 18 hours? Why aren’t they questioning that? What’s the difference? How can you add up one thing and not the other? I just feel like people pick and choose the area that they want to attack [laughs].”
While she didn’t know the current sales numbers, Kim did know about Nicki Minaj’s reaction.
“I heard about it. I didn’t see it actually for myself, but to be honest with you, homegirl is basically obsolete to me right now. She’s doing a lot of lame stuff. She’s so lame to me right now—she’s always been, but now really. At the end of the day, her sales can be questioned also. Not to say she didn’t have the build-up, but the only thing you kept hearing before her album dropped was nobody liked it, it was wack. Don’t get me wrong, she might have a couple songs that are OK, but who cares. The haters will be haters, that’s their job, and we need them.”
keep lyin to yourself if it helps you sleep at night, just understand that nobody else is fooled
whats the difference Kim? well one is free and the other require peoples giving u 10 bucks…so thats the difference Kim…smh
So … it’s okay for Kim to hate on Nicki, but it’s not cool for people to hate on Kim???
kim didnt hate on the bitch ,the bitch hated on kim,and kim the next best thing by making a whole mixtape about her ass real ganster.now WHO THE FUCK WANT WAR,
i could have sworn Romans Revenge was the 1st track btwn them that actually had lyrics dissing someone>>so its understandbale 4 kim to get offened and wanna bark baq>>i love competiton this is hip hop
thanks malcolm,i like the competition,
@Lil Kim I MEAN cditty78 YOU ACTUALLY AGREE WITH MALCOLM THAT ROMANS REVENGE WAS THE 1ST DISS SONG? MAYBE YOUR RIGHT I DON’T LISTEN TO KIM ENOUGH ANYMORE TO KNOW WHEN SHE 1ST DISSED NICKI IN A SONG….BUT I DO KNOW SHE WAS CALLING NICKI OUT @ ANY SHOW OR INTERVIEW SHE DID WAY BEFORE ROMANS REVENGE CAME OUT. THIS IS NOT COMPETITION…IF NICKI DOES NOT ADDRESS KIM AT ALL KIM LOOKS LIKE A LOSING CONSPIRACY THEORIST. NICKI’S #S CAN BE QUESTIONED ALSO, BUT SOUND SCAN CAN BE USED TO CONFIRM OR REFUTE THOSE #S. KIM CLAIMED TO HAVE SOLD 113,000 COPIES OF HER MIXTAPE IN 28 HOURS. I DON’T KNOW IF SHE DID OR DIDN’T. I DON’T BELIEVE SHE DID AND SHE OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT BELIEVE SHE DID EITHER BASED ONE HER RESPONSE. KIM NEEDS TO FOCUS ON JUST MAKING HER MUSIC AND FORGET ABOUT NICKI IF SHE TRULY FEELS NICKI IS LAME.
Aye I been a fan of Kim since day one,I’m always gonna love her music coz I seen her come up etc,but this shit right here blood,this shit is disgustin
Biggie made the right move on not making her his bitch and not his main girl. She’s gross and fucking crazy.
That’s probably one of the scariest pictures I’ve ever seen in my life.
“homegirl is basically obsolete to me right now”
Then why is your entire marketing scheme for your mixtape revolve around her?
Black Friday biting off of Pink Friday. Nicki disses. Tweets about her. etc…
She is your ONLY chance at a comeback and you obviously know it or you wouldn’t be going after her the way you’ve been.
lol i was thinkn the same exact thing.this woman is really lost and confused
Co-Sign.
god damn @ that picture. fucking monster. someone tell this creature she’s not a white woman
that is a old as pic.
Why did I even waste my time reading this?
I feel you. This is sad.
i 2nd that
Bitch looks like a fucking muppet. If the only way for her to stay “relevant” is by lying about sales figures than more power to her.
why is that,you want her to be a man,lol fagot ass,that the only reason you would want to cover up all that (pretty).lol you want a hard face, i feel you
i would have to put a potato sack on this bitch head just to fuck
why is that,you want her to be a man,lol fagot ass,that the only reason you would want to cover up all that (pretty).lol you want a hard face.i feel you
Another tranny lookin pic..Hats off to ya DX keep em comin
damn that is one uglyyyyy notch
Li’l Kim. Check. Lauryn Hill. Check. Now I just need one more certifiably insane female rapper and I’ve got an all-star cast for my ‘Charlie’s Angels’ meets ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’ flick.
biiiitch if you sold 113k you wouldve said in the interview you sold 113k…and if you arent a brokeass bitch, youd have soundscan on that ish, but you sold 113 copies total, which you bought so SHIIT
how is she broke,did she ever ask your ass for some money.(NO) ok than
but soundscan doesnt track mixtapes tho :-/
Kim look like the Saw clown in that pic
LIL KIM IS TALKING ABOUT HATERS??? ISNT SHE HATIN ON NICKI? THE RAP GAME IS SO FUCKIN LAME NOW! WWE
this is just sorta sad…
she is trying to convince herself that she really doesn’t know about the sales and maybe it did sell a lot. she is really tryin to convince herself she doesnt care about nikki when she made a cd about her. and shes really tryin to say ppl hate on her, when she made a whole mixtape hating and people just wanna point out whats right/wrong.
i actually liked kim more than nikki before this shit, i think nikkis sorta overrated. but at this point, i cant stand kim
i understand where you coming from but kim did the right thing when a bitch saying slick shit about her in her songs,kim said fuck it. I’m a dedicate a whole mixtape to you,thats some real shit.its only a mixtape not her album,which is comming out real soon and a book.with all that said you can still be a fan,she just had to get some stuff off her chest,
A waste is a terrible thing to mind. – In Living Color
yess
Not only that she’s a lying piece of yesterday’s trash, she’s also extremely stupid. Comparing millions of (free) views on YouTube to 100K+ people buying your mixtape? Really?
Face it, no one wants to pay 10 bucks to hear your obsolete-ass rapping over other people’s beats. People are not buying regular albums from talented people for a little more than that.
unless you i dum as fuck but as of right now she have over 4 million views on her black friday video,and i know half of them paid,for the mix tape,and for the record she is not a liar,she have no reason to,she is the queen.point blank. worry about how many mixtapes you can sell.
u mean half the people download the mixtape and 10 people bought it to stream it right?
bitch worry about WHAT YOU CAN SELL.she making all her money,no middle man smart move Kim
@cditty78: Dang homie, u suckin on Lil Kim’s pussy hard!!!! U got the clit an the pussy lips all in yo mouth!!! Why dont u just go ahead and put your tongue in her asshole w/all that brown nosin u doin….lol!
ok kim your better than nicki omg just let it go already
There is no more respect in this culture…
Kim made a mistake by entering the numbers game… She CAN NOT WIN from that position… Coporate America will not allow it. Not to metion the numbers game is not Hip Hop… Hip Hop is determinded in the streets… and the Streets say Kim got that ass! Nuff said.
did the “streets” go out and buy lil kim’s mixtape?
First Law of Hip Hop ” NO BITIN ALLOWED!”, she Jacked Kim’s swag… Period!
Nicki Stole Kim’s Barbie swag, the Wigs, The Sex Kitten thing, and her intro Stance…
If every day you came to school or work and someone was doing all the shit that makes you the individual you are, you would not like it and tell the bitch to stop with the single white female shit!
single white female shit? really?
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THE MESSAGE WAS STUPID AT THE END BECAUSE R.I.P MJ HE WASN’T ALL ORIGINAL HE TOOK AFTER JAMES BROWN EVERYONE KNOW THAT HE’S STILL THE KING THOU JUST NOT 100% ORIGINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ll give HHDX the quality credit this time. Ended at the perfect point, haha. I feel bad for kim, she’s playing herself…
DX definitely getting paid by the Minaj camp about this so called beef. Know why? That picture…. Lil Kim got stung by 1000 bees before that picture was taken man. WOW. Nicki’s left titty wins this beef simply because of this picture…
That Jay-Z line Lil Kim borrowed was actually a insult to Mase and definitely one with a lot of truth to it. Especially , since Mason Betha was always behind Puffy and the late great Notorious BIG.
lol kim stay taking L’S
So, Lil Kim said all of that to say…there is no actual fact or reference to the truth about the 113,000 copies sold. That’s what I got out of that. Where are the facts Lil Kim? Don’t worry I’ll wait (Katt Williams’s voice)…LOL…
Hey Kim !! Go get a ice cream tattooed on your face! You are stupid! let it go already…and who makes a video for a battle…BITCH PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!! you get the gasss face!!!!
I guess you never heard or seen 2pac – Hit em up video dissing Biggie
Dam this is, Old School vs. New School! Baby never makes Forbes list since he is known for buying albums to promote YMCM. Kim does have 3Mill+ views on WSHH so maybe she did sell those mixtapes, maybe not. I’m not buying it and I AM NOT buying pink Friday either. Nicki isn’t a QUEEN of anything after one stupid album either! #the end
WSHH views don’t mean a damn thing when you are on that big screen!! All the videos on that screen do those numbers. smh
shut the fuck up (in kims voice)it does means something, we the people want to listen to it.now the big screen, is a another thing,when you have big people backing you,then you would have big numbers(nikki).Now kim is doing this on her own and she getting big numbers!GUESS WHAT THATS MEANS.all the money goes to her.kim just pissed on them haters,lol
Dang is Kim still hating on Nicki for a buzz??? She reminds me of the Vick haters………. They say they hate you but they can’t quit talking about you because then nobody would talk about them anymore. HAD SAD, PATHETIC AND WHAT AN EPIC FAIL!!!…

WELCOME TO MY CRACKHOUSE….PUT THIS IN YOUR CRACK PIPE AND SMOKE IT
http://www.youtube.com/user/305ilovemia#p/a/u/0/pkYXTuFcdZI
Dog stop reposting get off Nicki’s nuts. What you just said makes no sense. Not every vid on WSHH does big #’s like that real talk.
Any and all videos on that main screen at the top always do big numbers.
ok she admit she lied ther vid on worldstar got so many views because it says nikki minaj diss on it so u eatin off nikki not the lyrics
yo i googled the shit out this mixtappe & couldnt find it not even sure it exist shit is like the lochness now she itired of nikki after makin an album about her wow big turning in his grave
Bitches ain’t shit…………………
kim is so stupid y wuld u lie jus kuz nicki did better than you…..she is so jealous and jus kuz she not from brooklyn dnt mean nuthin she doin her shit so y dnt kim stop tryna fuck her up kuz it aint gonna work so sh is the real hater stop hatin on a bitch thats gettin her shyt done…. LEAVE NICKI ALONE
straight thang..lil kim would not even be talked about right now if it wasnt 4 this beef shit with nicki…that shes obviously losinn….badly smh
Dumb ass b*tch, CEASE THE LIES. Yo ass has been CLOCKED, wh0re! She basically said she don’t really have the numbers. LMFAOOOOO. Whack, b*tch.
And anybody can press refresh on a Worldstar Hip Hop video and get like 300 views in 30 seconds. WHERE DA LOGIC, BEW?!?!
And if Nicki is obsolete to you, then WHY is every thing you put out about her. B*tch, you STAY losing and lying. FEDS GON LOCK YO ASS UP FOR SELLING PEOPLE’S BEATS FOR YOUR OWN PROFIT, HOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
The ugliest bitch I’ve ever seen!
Used to love Kim back in the day…nowadays she looks like some undiscovered fish you find deep DEEP in the sea and shit. Quit pumping your face full of fucking collagen and worry bout your lyrics and production. SMH
nicki minaj waited to start beef with lil kim until her agent got her all that publicity bullshit so it would make like she is winning and she acts like she doesnt have to respond to shit,
nicki use to be a dude
lil kim use to be hot
Right because a RIAA certification is less credible than a damn PayPal representative..LMAO..Please..Who really believes she sold that many??? U have to be an idiot to believe that..
what the fuck? the more she’s asked to speak on nicki the more jealousy & hateful ways we see from her. we all know that nicki is the new queen & kim needs to admit that to herself.
at the end of the day, paypay ain’t got shit on billboard & 12 consecutive weeks atop billboard’s top 10, as well as having the #1 rap album in america as well as 1million+ records really shouldn’t be compared.
kim needs to stop. like, for real. stop talking about nicki.
it’s becoming obsessive.
Kim. You lying. You know damn well didn’t nobody buy that MIXTAPE. Who purchases mixtapes? I understand you’re trying to re-do everything Nicki Minaj said she’s done but that’s not what she meant by “which bitch you know made $1 million off a mixtapeâ€. Nicki Minaj toured off a mixtape. She did shows with mixtape material priced at $50 per head. She never had to sell a mixtape.
50 got Vitamin Water, Eminem got Shade 45, Dre got beats and 50 started sleek!!
THAT BOY 50 IS DOUBLE DIPPING!!! THAT IS WHY JIMMY AND DRE ARE MAD AT HIM.
DRE DIDN’T START A JUICE COMPANY WHEN VITAMIN WATER CAME OUT…
50 IS STEALING INTERSCOPE’S BUSINESS MODEL & PLANS WHEN 50 HAS ALREADY HAD HIS TURN. IT IS DRE’S TURN NOW..
NielsenScan & Billboard don’t lie, so you can question her numbers all you want but “at the end of the day†you didn’t make $1 million in 18 hrs. You can’t even label naysayers as haters because you haven’t seen the numbers yourself… Kim, I’m gonna need you to stop embarrassing yourself…
What fan will question their favs numbers “the so called prophet blog’ where u from the zone? Bitch get a life nicki has no life she spend time online posing as different people leaving comments on all kim pages
Nicki we know that part of ur lame as M/o get a life ur obselete Bitch!!!
Bird ass hoe nobody checking for u after this year better go pop~~
r u really typing this shyt come one sweetie kim dont have no dam life who da fuck lie about that sales to get notice ….she up her making up her on records lmao at least nicki can back up her numberz kim making up shyt wanting to put numbers up like nicki …. kim is the fucking no life she made an entire mixtape about one artist come on yall just need to repect that nicki is here now and she doing it big and lil kim bummy ass cant knock her down if anything she making her more on top
Love Lil Kim!

Well Said Kim – Hater Reply
i see ppl already ready to hate on Lil Kim, but yet she the top 5 stories read on the site…. ugh…
LIL KIM NEED TO SEAT HER ASS DOWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN ALL THE WAY
As a kim fan I can say I don’t believe those numbers one bit.
Recently record sales have hit an all time low. An album topped the BILLBOARD 200 recently with only like 45k or something.
If proper studio albums on the Billboard charts are selling in the vicinity of 50k for a whole week, how are we to believe Kim can sell more than DOUBLE that of an overpriced MIXTAPE at $9.99 in just 24 hours?
HAHAHAHA @ her saying “why aren’t people questioning the authenticity of the “Black Friday†video getting 2.5 million views in 18 hours?â€â€¦I think people would rather watch a free video online than buy a mixtape through Paypal.
I LOVE LIL KIM.. LMAO WE NEED THE HATERS SO HATE ON BIIITTTCCCHHHEEESSS….
If Krim really did 113K+ then we’d see her on Billboard’s Indie chart next week. Would I lie? I bet her white, plastic, crusty, dusty, stretched face won’t be there.
@Kyle Yassssssss. CLOCK HER. That b*tch is delusional! She really think video views >>> sales. DA FAHQ?!
haha kim fucking lied!!!! sit your washed up ass down! i knew those #s were not right….please she stay thinkin bout nicki all day everyday and soo what if you got 2 million views from the video does that mean they teamkim thoses 2 million ppl were laughing at you ass because you comedy.. im soo tired of this shit she is dragging this shit on she actin soo damn chilidish..at the end of the day she is fighting with her self and no one else pretty sad..who checking for you kim *ill wait* uhhh no one!
THIS BITCH IS SO DUMB!
what the fuck is wrong with her face…shes close to michael jackson status
PUT THIS IN YOUR CRACK PIPE AND SMOKE IT
http://www.youtube.com/user/305ilovemia#p/a/u/0/pkYXTuFcdZI
Kim’s face is pushed in. Her nose is different in every picture, and she’s getting uglier and uglier.
I’m not even about making fun of ugly people, but when you do it to YOURSELF… What the fuck can I say?! She sauteed herself, crazy..
wow shes definitely gettin old. anyone who is commonly known these days, whether they’re big or small timer can easily get 3 mils+ on youtube
she ruined her legacy over a stupid bitch by doin stupid shyt
and once again whos paying HipHopDX to post ugly pics of lil kim when ever post sumthin about her?
Jesus fucking christ, that picture is gonna give me nightmares.
Damn!!! She is fuckin’ ugly now. I used to want to smash that. She’d better quit that cosmetic surgery shit or she gonna be the next one dying from silicone shots to the ass. She doesn’t have the right people advising her on moves or something. How could the undisputed queen of hip-hop allow herself to become such a joke in the face of garbage like Minaj. Kim’s shit is psychological for real. She needs help.
Still would rather hear lauryn hills crazy ass rap,over any bitches right now !

“What I meant to say is, im super fucking broke! And without biggies fat dick inside me im a nobody, and nicki is making so much money im really jealous. I mean come on, if I put her down enough, mayyybe some of my old fans might want to listen to me again. Lets face it, im an ugly bitch and Nicki has a bangin ass and i would even fuck her….…I should just kill myself, cause i look like a retard trying to stay relevant every time i talk.”-Kim
what i think she meant to say as well
CO-FUCKING SIGN
lil kim pls ur lame and washed up
what the fuck yall care what she sold or not
LISTEN TO THIS SHIT MUTHAFUKA
http://www.youtube.com/user/305ilovemia#p/a/u/0/pkYXTuFcdZI
First she claims that she sold a 100,000+, $10 mixtapes (yeah the fuck right), now she is labeling Nicki a “hater?”
WTF is this plastic bitch smoking!?
Success is measured in what you’re doing now. Wack or not, Nicki is caked up, while Kim is probably coked up.
ok ok ok **clears throat** DID LIL KIM JUST CALL NICKI A HATER ….smh first i thought kim bringing keys on stage to diss nicki minaj was her weakest point… but lieing about her sales come on lets just be real if u such a queen why u have to lie about ur sales …shyt yo last album sold that many in a week … and why is ppl comparing video views to mixtape sales the only reason why kim got so many views was because she was dissing nicki minaj duhhh and it was free to watch just like that lil chick keys she had over a million views because of nicki name dat dont mean shyt yall talking about a million views lil kim dont even have a million followers on twitter like must artist out there lmao wtf and the reason why i dont think she sold that many mixtapes because why would someone wants to buy an entire mixtape full of disses to one artist for 10.00 come on lets just be real i rather wait tell the shyt hit youtube before i buy a mixtape of an angry artist trying her best to come back out after all these years …. kim never put numbers up like nicki never and that shyt eating her up cause someone is doing something similar to wat she use to do but wayyyyyyy better fuc its not her fault … i kno that shyt ate her up when nicki minaj won the best female hiphop award over her ..fuck if kim such a queen and so much better why didnt she win they both was nominated we all know kim fell off when big died kim was one of the pioneers of female hiphop however she also had big to help her out to even get that title …kim stated that she been watching nicki since day one even on her coming up dvd .. but my question is why didnt u come at her then i guess it didnt matter cause she was underground ha if it effected u so much that ur style was being used by another female rapper she should have said something at the beginining she wants to wait until nicki blows up now she has so much to say …. to me it seems like LIL KIM THE HATER if u the queen show us through bars and stop hanging on nicki name for spotlight …
ZZZzzzZZzZz lol.. to much time on your hands bitch
Didn’t she used to be hot? Now she looks tore up….
Haahahha. Some of these comments are TOO funny. Honestly, I think that Lil, Kim wants her image back and is mad because Nicki Manaj is just better. I mean, not going to lie but… I do have her mixtape(Lil, Kim) but I think Kim should just stop because “you time” is over…
Lil Kim’s Desperation is entertaining me more now then her music ever did.
She’s like that washed out loser that you point at, laugh and tell your peoples “Yo, If I wind up like that one day, please put me out of my misery”
jus to keep it 100 in a sea of lames..KIM CAN NEVER LOSE HER LEGACY TO NICKI..because NICKI music(not her features) is bullshit..STOP SHOWIN YALL AGE..caked up off of one platinum album and a couple features..KIM AND them was gettin 90’s and EARLY 2000’S GWAP..dummies..totally different..this the same bitch that took JUNIOR MAFIA UNDER HER ROOF and she went plat to double plat THREE times..while biggie had been dead(god bless the dead)he died right after her first album dropped..u lil nigs got the worst facts i ever heard..NICKI ALBUM IS NO HARDCORE OR LA BELLA MAFIA AND IT TRULY IS A PIECE OF SHIT..NO REPLAY VALUE FROM A PREMIER ARTIST..THAT IS NOT GOOD FOR HER FUTURE
LATD – Good point. People forget Kim’s past success, but remember too that was when downloading wasn’t fucking up the industry. Plus, part of her success was due to Biggie, much like Nicki with Lil Wayne. Take their mentors away and I don’t think either one would have ever gone platinum.
