Nicki Minaj sat down with Angie Martinez today for Hot 97’s VIP Lounge and finally spoke about the elephant in the room………..the “beef” with Lil Kim!!! Kim publicly spoke out against Nicki over the summer, saying she needed to “pay homage’ and continued to speak out against her in performances. As of yesterday, Nicki had yet to respond. Rumors circulated for weeks after the release of “Roman’s Revenge”, a Swizz Beatz-produced track with Eminem off her upcoming debut “Pink Friday” (set for release Monday) where a merciless Minaj raps, “Word she just mad that I took the spot? Tell that b*tch if she ain’t sh*tting, then get off the pot. Got some n*ggas out in Brooklyn that’ll off ya top!” As she made her press rounds for the album, the interviewiers all asked the same question, “Are you getting at Lil Kim?” It started off with a simple, “it’s not directed toward anyone, just all those that talked about me”….which segued into “My Barbies know exactly who that’s about. If you’ve never done or said anything, you wouldn’t feel guilty!” To finally…airing it all out and with what better platform than Hot 97! She also previewed her album, answered fan questions and took to the stage for a brief performance. Hit the jump for pics and footage.
