Lil' Kim Declares Nicki Minaj a 'Carbon Copy' in New Clip

WireImage I Getty Images

Lil' Kim and Nicki Minaj's feud marches on. Last night, the Queen Bee released a 15-minute mini-documentary via her Twitter account, showing evidence that the Harajuku Barbie has jacked her style, image, color schemes and overall swag.

The clip, executive produced by Nicki's ex-manager Fendi, begins with clips from interviews where Kimmy Blanco discusses how Minaj failed to pay homage in the beginning of her career. From there, a montage shows side-by-side pictures of the two rapstresses wearing similar attire, striking the same poses and rocking similar wigs.

Additionally, Kim addresses how Nicki "copied" her by jacking her Black Barbie steez and modeling the color palette used for her debut 'Pink Friday' off of Kim's 1996 debut 'Hardcore' and follow-up 'Notorious K.I.M.' The clip also promotes the Brooklyn rapper's diss track 'Black Friday' and 'Clap Clap,' which are played throughout the video.

Lil' Kim most recently fired shots at the Young Money femcee in the 'Black Friday' video and on her mixtape's cover art, where she is shown posing with a sword after having decapitated Nicki. The rap icon has repeatedly stated that the beef runs deep between the two, stemming from disrespect shown by Cash Money's executives.

I find it disturbing that Nicki pretends Kim in no way influenced her. Nicki's style is not groundbreaking and a great deal of her success comes from the fact that we have seen it all before with Lil Kim. However,Nicki established herself by making her audience feel like they are a part of the experience and also by capitalizing on the internet era. Kim is the better lyricist hands down. But Nicki is better with marketing.

Kim is nothing but a cheap Ho trying to catch a breeze from a rising star. Kim needs to shut up and try creating something new and fresh.

Really, Nicki Minaj has to be the worst rapper ever. She lacks creative word play (the foundation of real rap music).

And yes, Lil' Kim is correct that she is a copycat, but not from her. Nicki is poorly portraying Roxanne Shontelle's rap style from the 80's.

Get some skills and try again.

This is so a promo story and a non argument for real because there is money to be made by both ! the consumer will like who they like when they here what they like and see what they like, that is what drives sales. why do we feel we have to be hard and hurt each other? appreciate the dedication to the craft that both bring. Creativity begins through apprecation from the fans not feuds.

Kim just piggybacked on Jr Mafia & Biggie now shes just trying to piggyback on Nicki's success. Her time has passed, she's just desperate to stay relevant.

There is no contest, Lil Kim is well, just "lil." Nicki is big! Lil Kim has been called the "Queen Bee" when in actuality she's just "B."

I gotta say straight up Nicki Minaj couldn't touch Lil Kim if she let Nicki do it. Nicki needs to back up a little bit and take a look at who she's getting in it with...Lil Kim's old school from back in the days of Junior Mafia. Nicki Minaj just came up with Young Money....girl's got a lot of growing up and homework to do if she's gonna mess with Kim.
