Is Young Money affiliate Nicki Minaj Dethroning Lil Kim?! First, female rap artist and emcee Nick Minaj was reported in the news as the new queen bee, now she’s being reported as the new baddest chick! Both names were once given to hip hop music recording artist and female rapper Lil Kim.
Lil Kim aka Queen Bee even has a company named Queen Bee Entertainment, but that still didn’t stop the New York Times blog The Moment from titling their headline The New Queen Bee, an article about Nicki Minaj.
Excerpt from The Moment’s online feature:
Nicki Minaj is the Cindy Sherman of rap. Since making a splash recreating Lil’ Kim’s infamous bikini-squat pose for the cover of her 2008 mixtape “Sucka Free,†Minaj — a 24-year-old, multiracial (she is of African, Trinidadian and Indo-Asian descent) Queens-born rapper — has assumed the roles of Marilyn Monroe, Chaka Khan, Mickey Mouse and even Harry Potter’s pal Hermione.
And now the headline The New Baddest Chick is being posted across the web leading back to Nicki Minaj’s video feature with XXL Magazine.
“I got my mind on my money and I’m not going anywhere,” starts Nicki Minaj in the video interview with XXLMag entitled The New Baddest Chick.
Nicki Minaj sits down with XXL and speaks on her money, talks about her affiliation with Lil Wayne’s Young Money Entertainment, working on her album’s new material, being a slave to the powers-to-be as a female rapper, the music business, touches on her controversial mentions about Lauryn Hill, and more.

Sorry Kim is a Living Legend, she paved the way for Nicki
That’s like saying Keyshia Cole dethroning Mary J,
Most of ya’ll are a bunch of dick riders for the person of the moment
No bandwagon 4 me, yea she cute but far from Queen Bee status lmao at you all starting drama!
Lastly there is plenty of room for all females, why you all gotta start beef between the ladies on some petty shit, no pie face hoe spitting can touch Kim, lotta bitches tried, and you all act like Kim, and Nicki are the only females in the game making moves!!! Sad
I still have yet to see her having a hit song. Who is she, is she local?
Yo, I ain’t hating on nicki but until she hits 6 million records sold like kim then she has the right to call herself the new queenbee but till then she can b a princess and build up..
Lmao!!! Nicki minaj is a good rapper but needs to be knocked down a few notches lil kim is the shit and she will always be…lil kim paved the way for nicki minaj
I loveee Nicki, but she is miles upon miles of dethroning Ms. G.O.A.T…like realreppin said, there’s more than enough room for them in the game. think about Lil Kim’s history, Nicki is just now getting some shine, she’s in the beginning of her career. She could never dethrone Kim, Kim started this shit (rapping about sex in the way she did, etc)
Nicki is so fuckin sexy kim is not even sick
there will never be another queen bee thats kim forever and always kim still on it comin out with a new cd and she is so much better than nicki minaj like wow u r goin crazy labelin nicki minaj as the new queen bee yeah right not now not ever KIM IS THE SHIT SHES TH TOP BITCH OF THIS GAME
ONCE AGAIN LYKE I SAID B4 i love nicki music sheis a very hot young artist …BUT lil kim is a fckin legend no one can be as bas as kim …no ONE!!!
Look realhiphop please bquiet with all this lil kim bs she got famous cuz biggie gave her the limelight and helped her ass write and all that shit she was cold and is a legend and all that other stuff but……..Nicki Minaj will Surpass her in terms of greatness hear nicki minaj flow she go way harder then lil kim most of yall dont hear nicki’s mixtapes she ridicuouls as of now Kim is better but Nicki will beat her out if yall want proof hear these songs: Up out my face w/mariah carey, Sweet dreams beyonce remix, best i ever had remix drake, take it off llyod j holiday need i go on she murdered every one of those tracks she got on thats why every female artist is asking Nicki Minaj if she would be featured on their song!!!
Cmelo spoken like a true hatter biggie put kim on just like lil wayne put nicki on and Kim is the first female rap artist ever to bring the sex back to rap no other female rapper was doing it til Kim started talking about sex so openly so please Nicki will be what nicki is a new up start tryin to make a name for herself. Kim is a legend in the industry a 6 mic grammy award winning 8 million album record label owning actress business woman International known Need I Say More respect your elders my people.
