Before signing to Young Money, Nicki Minaj's claim to fame was making $1 million off her mixtape. Her popularity led to her being signed by the label. Nicki Minaj was able to ride her own momentum in promotion for her Pink Friday album.

Following the release of Pink Friday, Nicki Minaj became the first female rapper, since Eve in 1999, to have a number one album. In addition to having the top spot, the album is also platinum. Despite her popularity, Lil' Kim has not gone platinum in years.

However, she did proclaim her Black Friday mixtape would become the second to generate $1 million. One day after the release, Lil' Kim said the mixtape had sold 113,000 copies. Upon hearing of this, Nicki Minaj called Kim a liar.

With their war of words reaching an unexpected height when Lil' Kim said their beef was not real, Lil' Kim has dissed Nicki Minaj's sales. Recently, Lil' Kim admitted her sales were not as high as she had said, but she is not the only rapper going around and adding numbers to her sales. Lil' Kim said Nicki Minaj has done the same thing with her mixtapes and her album.

Lil' Kim said the representatives at PayPal are estatic about Black Friday's sales. She also boasted of how the "Black Friday" video has over 2 million hits. Shifting her attention back to Nicki Minaj, Lil' Kim said she is wack, her album sucks, and she is a hater.

Recently, Lil' Kim took their feud to a new level when it appeared she took a photo with her earlier. Kim has been in the studio creating new music aimed at Nicki. Her most-popular diss record has been the "Black Friday" diss. The song has become so popular that a video is in the works.
