Nicki Minaj is from New York City, just like Lil' Kim. It is obvious Minaj has been influenced by Lil' Kim's style. Everything from the way she dresses to the way she raps spews Lil' Kim. But, Nicki Minaj has yet to speak of the veteran. This is the premise for her issues with the newcomer.
Recently, Lil' Kim dissed Nicki Minaj and found herself in a battle with Drake. Yesterday, Lil' Kim dissed Minaj again. She said she actually does love Nicki, but she wants her to come by and pay homage. This is something Nicki Minaj is unwilling to do. Her schedule is hectic and she has to focus on her promotion.
Not only is Lil' Kim upset with Nicki Minaj, but she also has issues with her rumored boyfriend Diddy. In the late 1990s, Diddy was key in helping Lil' Kim with her music. He worked with Kim in spite of her never actually being signed to his Bad Boy label. Two years ago, there were rumors of Lil' Kim signing with his label. Obviously, this did not happen and it is likely to never happen now. She has heard about Diddy and his relationship with Nicki Minaj and Lil' Kim said he should be ashamed of himself.
Nicki Minaj projects herself in a promiscious way, much like Lil' Kim, but she is known to be single. Diddy has been single for a great deal of time and he recently spoke on his bad luck with love. Indirectly, he has talked about Nicki Minaj, but he has yet to admit to having an actual relationship with her. She has never spoken of Diddy, but she is very fond of Cassie.
