Over the weekend, Lil Kim performed at a concert with Remy Ma and Cardi B, just after Remy’s scorching Nicki Minaj diss, “ShETHER,” had dropped.
Kim addressed the crowd and said some positive things about working with the other ladies, but somehow, her words got twisted into headlines insinuating she’d soon be teaming up with Remy for another Nicki diss. In a new interview with Billboard, Kim sets the record straight.

“I’m glad you brought that up, because in the media the other day, I had a show and I hate stupid blogs when they try to take my damn situations and clip them. We all know the situation that’s going on with Remy and ol’ girl. That’s their situation and I have nothing to do with that. They have a rumor out there like, “Kim is gonna do a diss track with Remy.” First of all, let me tell you this. Number one: y’all giving ol’ girl too much credit. I’m not even thinking about that. I’m not even thinking about ol’ girl! I’m so far past that. That’s never on my mind. Ever. Ol’ girl has never been on my mind for a long ass time at all. So I hate the fact of that being in the equation. But the situation with Remy, for them to say that we were coming together to do a diss track? First of all, after hearing “ShETHER,” that shit is so hard, Remy don’t need no damn help! Why would I need to come together for that? I mean, I’m into the music and I’m speaking musically wise — the song is just hard, period. Just like [Drake’s] “Back To Back” was hard — just good hip-hop music. But I got nothing to do with that. When I had my situation and my situation came up, I handled my business. If anybody comes to me, if ol’ girl came to me, I’ma give them the business. That’s just the bottom line of it. So if it ain’t coming my way, I ain’t got nothing to do with it. Me and Remy is cool. I hate when media do that. That’s the thing.”
Kim went on to say that she’d like to do another song like “Ladies Night” in the future, perhaps with Remy and Cardi. She also said she’d even be fine if they all did separate collabs and not one big posse cut, as any type of unity amongst the women is a great start.
