Eve Speaks on Nicki Minaj and Lil Kim Beef- 2012

In a recent interview, female rapper, and former Ruff Ryderz first lady speaks on Nicki Minaj and Lil Kim beef. Checkout what she said below-



First of all, there needs to be a level of respect. I feel like a lot of people who are from the past generation trying to get at the new generation, it’s not about publicity. It’s about wanting that respect. I think maybe that’s where Kim is coming from, like, you’re doing your thing right now and no one can take that away from you, Nicki – we all see it — but at the end of the day, if it wasn’t for Kim, she wouldn’t be here and that sh-t is real. And if it wasn’t for Latifah, and if it wasn’t for Foxy and Lyte, I wouldn’t be here.
Yes, Nicki is doing her thing and she’s maximizing the market but that’s because there is no one else out. She’s the only female. She came in at a time when music was so different. She’s doing stuff now that we couldn’t do – well we could do it – I did the collaboration with Gwen, but it’s at a different place. It’s so different and it’s an unfair comparison sometimes for Nicki to say Kim is washed up. Kim is Kim, point blank period. Kim is doing her thing and Nicki is doing her thing.


I think Eve couldn't have said it any better. A lot of people have been trying to be diplomatic with this, and not really say anything because they don't want to be in Nicki's bad books. Probably they are hoping for a feature in the future, but a real person know that Nicki Minaj is outright disrespectful. Of cos you can't take away the fact that she is doing her thing...she is getting caked up and all that, but we all know who she was trying to be like when she first got into the game.


I will say it again, i think Nicki is really nice on the mic, and very creative, but a little respect and acknowledgment, and all this beef thing wouldn't have happened at all. I wish all the female rappers the best. To me, Kim is still a standout.
