Nicki Minaj does not have to diss Lil' Kim

Ever since she broke into the mainstream, Nicki Minaj has been targeted by Lil' Kim. The Brooklyn femcee claims Nicki stole her style and she has been determined to make her pay. Lil' Kim has been desperate to discredit Nicki Minaj. She has gone at Diddy, Drake, and Lil Wayne.

Earlier this month, Lil' Kim took things a little too far. She felt Nicki's collaboration with Keyshia Cole, "I Ain't Thru," was a diss towards her. Despite the song being out for over a month, Lil' Kim said she was tired of being disrespected. In 2007, she collaborated with Cole, but she recruited Mary J. Blige to go at her.

Nicki Minaj initially said she would not respond to Lil' Kim disses, but she broke that promise. In October, Lil' Kim called a truce and Nicki recorded "Roman's Revenage" and went after her. From there, the gloves were off and Lil' Kim began focusing on the "Black Friday" diss and the video. While Lil' Kim has focused on that, Foxy Brown came out and dissed Lil' Kim with "Christmas Massacre."

During the summer, Foxy Brown was asked how she felt about Nicki Minaj. Lil' Kim had then revealed she did not like the black Barbie. While Foxy Brown made it clear she still did not like Lil' Kim, she also said she did not like Nicki Minaj. Lil' Kim and Foxy Brown were among the many female rappers who came out of irrelevance to diss Nicki. While they share a common beef, it is not enough for Foxy to jump in the middle of the Nicki/Kim beef. Instead, she is going to continue taking shots at Lil' Kim.

In 2005, Lil' Kim laughed at Foxy Brown getting beaten up by Jacki-O. On her "Quiet" song, a diss to Foxy, she rapped "Jacki-O proved you're far from a fighter." Jacki-O has also had a highly-publicized feud with the fellow New York femcee rival of Lil' Kim. However, recently, Jacki-O revealed she was not all that fond of the queen bee either. After hearing her about her new alias, 'Kimmy Blanco,' Jacki-O took offense and began dissing her too. Now, ironically, Jacki-O and Foxy Brown are on the same side against Kim.

Suddenly all the discussion about Nicki Minaj retaliating is no longer existent. Now, hip hop sites, critics, and fans, alike, are wondering where the next female dissing Lil' Kim will come from and who it will be. Nicki is already one of the most popular rappers in the game, so she has no reason to diss anyone. At the same time, more and more rappers are dissing Lil' Kim. Her credit in the game is being taken away so rapidly that there is nothing for Nicki Minaj to even worry about, so she can fully focus on her career instead of the feud.
