Lil Kim has set a blueprint for female rappers to follow — from hard-hitting lyrics to sex appeal and more. With Verzuz evolving into a celebration of eras and select artists, the Queen Bee is long overdue for her moment on the platform.
During a red carpet interview with DJ Envy at the 2021 BET Awards on Sunday (June 27), Lil Kim wanted to celebrate with another groundbreaker in rap — her old nemesis Nicki Minaj.
When asked who she’d want to do a Verzuz with, she instantly replied, “Nicki.” The lack of hesitation stunned Envy, so he asked again, only to get the same answer. “I’d love to.”
Nicki Minaj and Lil Kim’s feud dates back to the late 2000s, just as Nicki made her ascent in Hip Hop with mixtapes and freestyles.
Although fans added on to the beef by taking their respective sides of loyalty, the two rappers pressed with diss tracks and subliminal shots toward one another over the years. Even their peers have gotten involved in the beef. From Mary J. Blige calling Kim a “trailblazer” to Missy Elliott calling for peace between the two.
Verzuz has seen its fair share of peace-keeping moments, including the highest-rated event featuring Gucci Mane and Jeezy. But Verzuz founders Swizz Beatz and Timbaland may have a potential matchup to dwarf it.
Global warming bothers me a little bit, but revenue generating fake feuds between rappers is a much bigger deal
That would be dope i still think Kim is the better artist. Nicky had some nice verses on features but Kim had more albums u could play all the way through. Nicky was better on features. Both of them are 2 of the most legendary female rappers to date.
Stop doing matchups with people from a different era, it’s corny. Matchups should be with your peers from same era. Lil Kim and Foxy should squash their beef just for the event like Jeezy/gucci
Give Kim… Foxy or Missy!!!
Not interested unless they make out at the end…
Nikki will get washed
Nicki would not get washed.
she got her at: ” question, confession yes it’s the lyrical bltches grab yo tlts nlggas squeeze ya general, protiens and minerals excluded subliminals” she killed it on that Players Anthem track with Jr mafia
Two loose women rapping about tits and clits…cant wait
When you look at both their discographies, it’s actually interesting. While Nicki has sold more singles, Lil Kim has sold more albums.
If you like Hip Hop then Kim wins hands down. If you’re more into sales and relevance then I guess you’d go Nikki
