50 Cent and Lil’ Kim heat up the stage for the first-ever live performance of their 2003 collaboration “Magic Stick” at the WinterBeatz Festival in Perth, Australia, on Wednesday. The Queen Bee was far from shy, grinding up against a grinning 50, who made sexual gestures with the microphone. Watch them get freaky Down Under.

Lil’ Kim partied with pals in Miami for her birthday last week. Looking hot in pink, the Queen Bee was the guest of honor at the Santos bash hosted by “Basketball Wife” Evelyn Lozada and Minnesota Vikings star Bryant McKinnie. Performers Guyana, Brianna, Lyriq, and Natural paid tribute to the hip-hop vet, who was seen holding court with boxing champ Floyd Mayweather Jr.

After being suddenly removed from Monica’s single “Anything (To Find You),” Kim promised that the ladies would team up again soon.

“I want y’all to know @missyelliott & @monicabrown have been going HARD As A MOTHAFUCKA 4 this situation. I love them so much!!! My babies!” she tweeted. “Right now me, @missyelliott, @monicabrown are planning something even BIGGER for you guys!!!”

Lil' Kim (Getty)It was only a few weeks ago that rapper Lil' Kim spat profanity-laced venom in Nicki Minaj's digital direction on Twitter, calling the Pink Friday rapper a "coward lame ass b***h." Now the '90s hip-hop staple has taken umbrage with R&B singer Keyshia Cole—although she may have more reason this time around.

The latest Twitter war kicked off when Keyshia tweeted, "N while we're addressing everything, Lil Kim and I a r not "friends" I take that term very seriously. We made wonderful music. That is it." 

Cole had apparently become frustrated by Lil' Kim fans who had accused her of being disloyal to the pint-sized rapper. The two had worked together on the 2007 Missy Elliot-produced track "Let It Go," but Cole's ties to Kim didn't keep her from collaborating with Kim's known nemesis Nicki Minaj on the song "I Ain't Thru" last year.

Lil' Kim responded to Keyshia's tweet with lightning speed, firing off these tweets in quick succession:

• "U got that right. We are not friends. The same way U take friendship seriously i take loyalty serious."
• "The whole world has seen me extend my hand to u over and over again."
• Only someone who's trying to build a sincere relationship does shows 4 free & supports. u did not pay me a dime for none of that."
• "That warrants some type of loyalty and respect."
• "Friend or no friend i would have never let anybody disrespect u on my record but i can't expect everyone to be as real as i am."
• "At the end of the day karma is as real as i am and it's coming to get u. oh wait...if it hasnt got u already..."
• "My love $ loyalty to u got u a hit, ur friendship with ur friend got u a flop."

It went on, but it wasn't nearly as interesting as that time Lil' Kim got all hot and bothered over a fake tweet, especially since Ms. Cole didn't seem particularly interested in fanning the flames. She wrote, "all I'm saying is don't have everyone thinking I was disloyal as a "friends" cause we were never that and u know it. No disrespect," and, "I don't have beef with anyone. I'm done. I feel the way I feel about friendship and loyalty. I ain't never been fake. All I'm saying."

Damon Peruzzi got a surprise from his pal Lil’ Kim, who showed up to celebrate with the party promoter at his Luxxx Ball birthday bash at Salon Millesime in New York City on Saturday night (March 12). The petite rapper came through the party, rocking a ponytail and form-fitting baby blue dress with matching heels. She held court over the sea of partygoers, getting on the mic to wish her friend happy birthday. See Kimmy Blanco blow up the spot below.

Lil’ Kim does the “Pretty Girl Rock” on her remix to Keri Hilson’s ladies anthem, renaming the tune “Kimmy Girl” for her Black Friday mixtape. Putting her singing skills to the test, the Queen Bee shares her self-love by bigging up her looks. “It’s only one QB/ Bed Stuy beauty/ If looks was a killer, I’d probably be an Uzi/ They be hating on me ’cause they man tryna pursue me/ I’m something exotic, she’s hardly a cutie,” sings an Auto-Tuned Kimmy Blanco.

Rock out with the Brooklyn diva below.

The sales of Lil’ Kim’s mixtape Black Friday are a hot topic of conversation. The rap diva claims to have sold 113,000 copies of the $9.99 release via PayPal within 28 hours, but some have questioned the authenticity of those numbers. The Queen Bee stings back at the critics and Nicki Minaj in an exclusive interview with Rap-Up.com.


You tweeted that you sold 113,000 copies of Black Friday within 28 hours. Is that accurate?

Right now it could be more.

What do you say to those who question the authenticity of those figures?


At the end of the day, you’re always going to have your haters. We need the haters. 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. I think numbers in other areas speak for themselves. I mean, why aren’t they questioning the Black Friday [video] 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].

Do you know the current sales numbers?


No, I actually don’t know right now. I have a team that kinda checks up on all that. We’ll keep you posted.

Nicki Minaj laughed off your sales claims. Did you see that?


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.

Look for more from our conversation with Lil’ Kim tomorrow.

After throwing lyrical jabs at Nicki Minaj, Lil’ Kim comes for her opponent in the viral video for “Black Friday,” a diss track from her mixtape of the same name. A Nicki impersonator is seen watching Kim’s videos on YouTube trying to imitate her style, while a dog chews on a pink-haired doll with butt pads whose shirt reads “Swagga Jacka.” Kimmy Blanco cruises in her yellow Ferrari, taking to the streets of Brooklyn with her IRS crew. She leaves viewers with a quote from Michael Jackson: “It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation…period.” The saga continues.

Lil’ Kim rocked the house last night at New York City’s Quo Nightclub for “Lil’ Kim’s Black Friday at Rockit,” where she performed classics from her catalog. Wearing purple tights, gold stiletto boots, and a metallic top under a fur coat, the Queen Bee delivered crowd pleasers like “Lighters Up” and “How Many Licks,” as well as her Nicki Minaj diss “Black Friday.”

“I love ya’ll to death,” she told her adoring fans. Check below for pics & performance of Kimmy Blanco striking a pose and signing autographs.

Lil’ Kim appeared on Angie Martinez’s Hot 97 show today to discuss her ongoing beef with Nicki Minaj. Among the highlights, the Queen Bee said she would be open to working with Nicki Minaj. “I would do a song with her for the right price,” she told Angie. The amount? $7 million. As for the feud ending anytime soon, Kim declared, “I’m not taking my foot off her neck.”

The Queen Bee shakes her tailfeather alongside Australian newcomer am8er in the video for her debut single, “10 Date Commandments.” Kim, who previously remade Biggie’s classic drug-slinging anthem “10 Crack Commandments” with Lil’ Mo titled “10 Commandments,” adds some hip-hop flavor to the candy pop tune, which lists the rules on how to properly date your man. The song is set to be included on am8er’s debut, Strawberries and Kittens, slated for release later this year.  Oh Kimmy, the things we do for $$$.  I'm sure Nicki Minaj is Ke-Ke-ing over this one.  Shout out to my girl @Overla26 dancing with Kim. Everybody follow her on Twitter!!!!

When Gucci Mane calls on the freaky girls, they come out of the woodwork. Even rap star Lil Kim. During the Gooch’s secret show at Nike Stadium in New York City earlier this week, the Queen Bee joined the rapper onstage as he performed his song “Freaky Gurl,” one of the many tracks he burned through during his 25-minute set. Outfitted in a form-fitting dress, Kim dances beside, and below Gucci, while spitting a few verses from record.

OMG! Lil’ Kim gets dolled up in her juicy new ad for “Purple” by Three Olives Vodka. The liquor brand tapped the rap diva to bring some flavor to their “What’s Your O-Face?” national campaign and in-store merchandising. The grape-flavored vodka is described as “fun, sassy, and sexy as the Queen Bee herself.”

“Since I’m Queen Bee and purple is the color of royalty,” says Lil’ Kim, “I’m thrilled Three Olives has asked me to bring my flavor to the sexy ‘O-Face’ campaign for their new Purple vodka!”

Lil’ Kim may not get along with Nicki Minaj, but there’s one female pop star who she would love to work with. Hip-hop’s queen of raunch hints at a new collaboration with pop provocateur Rihanna.


The Queen Bee released her own remix to Rihanna’s “Hard,” but reveals that another pairing could be in the works. “I’m a huge Rihanna fan, and she’s a friend of mine, so if I had to guess, I’m 90% sure that song is probably in the works,” she told Australian website Lifelounge.

But Kim, who’s currently playing intimate shows in the U.S. and abroad, doesn’t want people to judge the song before it happens. “I look at it this way: if it happens, it happens. And it should be a surprise. It shouldn’t be something that people are anticipating, or have their own personal opinions on it before it even comes out. So I probably won’t ever mention that again.”

Although she may have choice words for Diddy and Drake, it’s all love when it comes to RiRi. “I just love Rihanna, I think she’s great,” gushed Kim.

After he quickly defended his Young Money sister Nicki Minaj, Drake is addressing the comments he made about Lil’ Kim onstage during a recent show.


“I feel like Lil’ Kim is a G in the game. I feel like you’re a part of an era that’s classic, that we’ll never forget as young kids, me and Nick,” he told DJ Envy of MTV’s “Sucker Free.” “You don’t have to do that. You don’t have to get onstage and tell people to pay homage; that’s a given.”

Despite Kim’s claims that she doesn’t feel respected by her fellow femcee, Drake thinks otherwise. “I’ve watched Nicki pay homage time and time again. I didn’t respect [Kim's comments] at all.”

He also expressed his disappointment with Ray J, who took shots at the Harajuku Barbie during the Queen Bee’s New York show. “Whoever else was onstage with her, I didn’t respect that at all. You just wearing your heart on your sleeve. You’re showing that you’re upset,” he added.

While he hasn’t been in the same situation, Drizzy would have handled it differently. “Nobody’s done that to me yet. I would never expect Jay or ‘Ye to get onstage and be like, ‘Pay homage to me. You need to respect me.’ They know they command my respect with their music and talent,” he said. “I feel that’s signs you’re just losing it. I really did take that personally. That bothered me. I really don’t get caught up with the Twitter and Internet stuff, but I did see it. And I feel like you’re supposed to be a G. That just wasn’t G to me at all.”

The battle of the Barbies is getting heated. Lil’ Kim indirectly called out Nicki Minaj at a show in New York City earlier this week. “We love her, we just want her to pay homage so we can all rock together,” she told her fans. “It’s all about respect. You respect me, I respect you. You don’t respect me, then fuck you.”

The Queen Bee continued to demand respect from her fellow femcee at another concert in Baltimore on Saturday (June 5). “I’m such a fucking trendsetter,” she said after putting on a bright pink wig. “They better motherfucking respect me.” She then performed “Crush on You” while imitating Nicki’s Barbie-like movements.

Nicki has mostly kept silent on the feud, addressing it briefly on Twitter. “Raise ya hand if u don’t have 2 diss ppl to feel better about urself. Jealousy is a disease. It kills @ a fast pace. Kisses 2 my bad bitches,” she wrote.

Both women have support from their famous friends. Drake defended his Young Money labelmate onstage, while Ray J had Kim’s back in NYC.

Lil’ Kim Takes Shots at Nicki Minaj in Baltimore

Lil’ Kim, Fat Joe, Jeremih, Kid Cudi, and Wale celebrated the birthdays of nightlife impresarios Eugene Remm and Mark Birnbaum at Tenjune in New York City on Tuesday.

The guys aren’t the only ones with swag. Three of hip-hop’s leading ladies are giving Soulja Boy Tell’em’s “Turn My Swag On” an injection of girl power.


Lil’ Kim, Keri Hilson, and Teyana Taylor join forces on the female answer to Soulja Boy’s hit single. Teyana completed her verse on Monday in Atlanta with Polow Da Don.

“Keri’s on the chorus and Kim and I are on the verses,” she tells Didntinviteme.com. “The remix is sick! It’s just about having swag.”

The song has already been remixed by Lil Wayne, Jadakiss, Jim Jones, Maino, Teairra Mari, and more.

Lil’ Kim almost gave Regis Philbin a heart attack when she appeared on “Live with Regis and Kelly” on Wednesday. The 77-year-old talk-show host had been an avid supporter of the Queen Bee when she was on “Dancing with the Stars.”


“My Lil’ Kim!” said Regis upon seeing the latest “DWTS” castoff. “My Regis!” Kim responded while giving him a hug. “Come to me, Regis.”

“We’re both outraged about what happened to you guys,” Regis said, while his co-host stood nearby. “How does this happen?”

“I told ['DWTS' judge Len Goodman] on camera, ‘Stay away from Lil’ Kim!’” exclaimed Regis, to which Kim replied, “That’s right. ’Cause you’re my man.”

“It would be the thrill of my life if I could have a dance with you,” Regis said as Kim gave him a dance he wouldn’t soon forget.

It’s time for the jump off. Lil’ Kim became the latest contestant eliminated from ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” on Tuesday.


“I think this is one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever experienced in my life,” a teary-eyed Kim said to a standing crowd. “I think I brought different viewers [to the show]. I know people who’ve never watched the show and they watch the show [now].”

Even the program’s co-host Tom Bergeron was shocked by the news. “There was a real shock in this room that I announced [your] name… I loved watching you dance.”

Derek Hough expressed his admiration for his dance partner over the last nine weeks. “I love this girl so much and she has been one of my favorites by far,” he gushed. “She is the most amazing person, amazing soul, amazing spirit, and of course, amazing dancer and I love you so much.”

“Will you please grace us with your bionic booty one more time?” Bergeron asked as Hough spun his partner one final time on the dancefloor.

The Queen Bee was one-week shy of making the semi-finals. She came into the results show with the week’s second lowest score: 52 points out of 60.
