‘ROUND THE WAY: LIL KIM TAKING IT TOO FAR? / CHAKA KHAN UNCF HONOR TO AIR ON BET / JAY-Z INVESTS IN FOOD FRANCHISE

Looks like this Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj beef will not be ending any time soon. Lil Kim has been busy filming the music video for Minaj diss-heavy track, “Black Friday”. According to reports, the 35 year-old rapper has gone as far as getting a Nicki Minaj look-alike for her video for the single as well as for her other track, “Clap, Clap”.

Here we go again…I wonder what Nicki Minaj has in the works for Ms. Kim…

Chaka Khan Honored By UNCF

Legendary singer Chaka Khan will be honored at this year’s 32nd Annual United Negro College Fund: An Evening of Stars. Although the all-star tribute to the Queen of Funk Soul was taped back in September of last year, the celebration will be aired later this month (January 29) on BET. Khan will be receiving the prestigious Award of Excellence for her distinguished career as an artist and her personal philanthropic endeavor with her non-profit organization, The Chaka Khan Foundation, which was founded in 1999 in an effort to help women and children at risk.

Tribute performances were done by Fantasia (“Tell Me Something Good”), Melanie Fiona (“You Got the Love”), Bettye LaVette (“Love Me Still”), Angie Stone (“Please Pardon Me”), Estelle (“Ain’t Nobody”), Ginuwine (“Superlife”) and Ledisi (“Sweet Thing”). Other celebrities were in attendance as well, so be on the look out for the official airing on January 29th on BET!

Jay-Z Invests in Brooklyn-Based Chicken Franchise

Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter has added a food franchise under his belt and his business empire. The rapper turned mogul recently teamed up with his sister, Andrea, mother, Gloria and cousin, Jamar White in a new fast food venture. The 41-year-old has invested in a Brooklyn-based chicken wing restaurant Buffalo Boss, with his cousin as the co-owner.

The eatery also does more than sell organic chicken wings, fries, salads, wraps and soft drinks. Sources say that Jay-Z and Buffalo Boss will be rewarding exceptional middle school students with free food. Nothing like a family-business affair and giving back to the community! Pretty dope.

    rolls eyes @ Lil Kim she needs to sit down with this beef, i’m over it. Can’t wait to see Chaka Khan get honored one of my favorite artist of all time. Jay-Z is really making moves it’s nice to see him doing things for the community and his new venture in the family business.

  2. I Wish That I Can Have This Moment for Lyfe

    Black Folks & Chicken Wings?!!?!? so cliche…lol

  3. lovelovelove

    Lil Kim…no comment. I mean she really milking this beef while looking like the love child of Wendy Williams and Latoya Jackson. She’s a joke to me.

    Congratz to Chaka I will be watching cuz those people can sang. I just wish it wasn’t on lame BET.

    Nobody needs any chicken from Jay Z but if he really wants to help somebody he needs to bring that over to colleges around the country cuz the dining food is terrible I’m just saying.

    • TeeMa

      LMAO.. Good One about Kim…She do look that both of them LOL

    • Jelly

      I agree. Yet the black community always claiming that other races are fighting us out But its evident that we are fighting out ourselves. This hardly happens in the “white race” where artist fighting out each other and stepping on each other like we Black people do to ouselves. We are our own enemies.

  4. Kewl

    Kim was the original Barbie/Mae West and she’s lyrically better so do you. I’d prefer real spittin over old mcdonald nursery rhymes and gimmicks anyday.

    Big ups to Jay as always. Nice move and I hope it makes bucko bucks.

  5. TeeMa

    SMDH @Lil Kim, just pathetic, I don’t see why she has to hate on Nicki so hard, thats what wrong with the women in black communities, they can’t support and encourage and be positive with one another, NO they have to act like they don’t have any sense going around talking about each other, putting each other down, Like grow the fuck up already damn……

  6. bvarney

    Kim really know one care about you and that song was only cared about for maybe a week it was terrible. seriously if your going to come at someone with a song i shouldn’t be falling asleep listening too it!

  7. Dude-N-Htown

    I doubt Nicki will respond in this manner. I mean Kim may be better lyrically to some ppl, and Kim my be the “original barbie” (which sounds dumb as hell because barbie has been a toy since…..nevermind)….but Kim is losing this battle.

    Big ups…to JayZ and Chaka

  8. Dude-N-Htown

    So lemme get this straight…. Nicki is covering magazines, and has an album in the top ten….and Kim is makin videos for diss tracks that aren’t even on an album…. smh. On a good note, Lil Kim looks really good in the video still

  9. KD

    LOOOVE YOU KIM, GET THAT BI***!!!!

  10. smdh

    To christine and everyone against lil kim here, how the fuck does she go too far? I mean, how many times nicki dissed that woman and talked about her? These girls are no singers, they rap!!!! Rap subliminal beef is very common among rappers, hello?? why would lil kim, let herself being always disrespected like that and why wouldnt she have the right to reply? I mean Im patiently waiting for Lauryn Hill & Eve to come back while the young generation here is fighting for mediocrity! At least I know 100% Kim was a god damn good female rapper with her own flow and persona who stayed true to herself! As much much as I dont support her music, Ill take the original anyday over the overhyped Nicki Minaj; What Nicki is doing, Kim been there done that, but then again, today, there is zero young marketable willing female rapper to compete with Nicki, thats why she is very comfortable. I respect both of their hustle though.

    • lovelovelove

      Girl please this beef is dumb. They fighting over somebody wearing fake eye lashes, fake wigs, fake barbie ass style, fake gimmicky ass shit that you can buy at the mall. LMAO pointless ass shit. Ain’t neither one of them original. Mattel needs to tell both of them to sit the hell down. Lil Kim just want to make some money off of this. She getting gigs at clubs and now people anticipating a new album. If it was some little white girl doing this she wouldn’t care. This is for her to make some money and get back in the music industry.

    • smdh

      Lol Im actually waiting for Mattel to take Nicki to court with that Barbie shit! But seriously I dont care what reason they fighting but why ppl are mad when Kim spit back? ugh

    • lovelovelove

      Nobody is mad that she responded to RR but what I’m saying is she making a video for BF and all of that it just seems like now she doing too much. But I still think its pointless lol I could see if Nicki stole her flow or something but they fighting over fake Barbie shit its stupid.

  11. DIORULEUX

    ii LOVE me some Kimberly Denise Jones. BUT enough is enough. she is carrying.&& doing the most.

  12. Rain

    To SMDH, you can take any part of Nicki’s verses and apply them to ANY female rapper. Any. That subliminal rhymes excuse is weak. Who said anything that Nicki “used” to spit about was about Kim? Really? Really. Lil’ Kim took it to heart herself. To be honest, it even came out of her OWN mouth, Lil’ Kim was just tryna jump on Nicki’s badwagon to big up herself. If Lil’ Kim was that big, why should she need a beef that’s be supposely going on since LAST year? I would take my rhymes and move my OWN CD. (just like Nicki’s doing now, she don’t even need to say anything and she’s got a platinum record) Kim’s looking as foolish as 50 cent who always needs to have a beef to keep anyone interested. Kim needs to do her and stop thinking about Minaj cause Minaj ain’t thinking about her.

    • smdh

      you are new & young; are you aware of Nicki Minaj’s interview on Angie Martinez right? Girl bye

    • alicia's a homewrecka

      @SMDH Apparently from your responses alone, it’s quite frankly that you must be the inexperience individual. If an individual is confident in their selves, they never need to respond to ignorance that is spewed. The confident individual keeps it moving and focus on more important matters in their life. I desperately empathize for Lil Kim because she is the perfect example of a young women who is insecure in herself. Many young ladies experience this everyday and believe that the way to solve the problem is by displaying negative attitudes, degrading other women or men, changing their physical appearance and taunting. As one other individual stated, please give credit to the real barbie…Mattel where are you at? Both ladies are imitating the barbie style but many before them were doing the same, so the beef is pointless and immature.

  13. Surprise

    Thats lil Kim I thought it was a white girl. I know Ms. Kim must be upset with Niki but she should be deyond what she is doing. She’s 35 for goodness sake.

  14. BC

    hahaha….Kim is not taking her foot off of ol’girls neck!

    she look good too.

  15. Taj

    Really sad……as if there isn’t enough hatred going on these days… SMDH….

  16. yewalreadykno

    love kim but she need to put out a album n not no diss videos………..wtf.
    big ups to chaka n jay making moves

  17. HEADS WILL ROLL

    ONE THING I CAN’T DEAL WITH IS WHEN PEOPLE ARE SO FUCKING FAKE ON REAL ISSUES…. LIL KIM HAS EVERY RIGHT AND THE MONEY TO DO WHAT SHE FEELS, NICKI M HAS BEEN DISSING THIS WOMAN FROM JUMP, BUT TURNS AROUND IN INTERVIEWS AND WANT TO REASON AND WANT UNITY… IT’S CRAZY HOW YOU PEOPLE CALL THIS CHILDISH AND THINK KIM SHOULD STOP AND EVERYONE WORK TOGETHER…. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, ONE OF WHAT PEOPLE CALL THE CLASSY LADY’S OF R&B MAD A COMPLETE SONG AND VIDEO DISSING EMEEM… HE TURNS AROUND AND DISS THE HELL OUT OF MC… BUT KNOW DAM BODY HAD SHIT TO SAY, NAZ DISSED JAY Z… PAC DISS BIG…BIGGIE DIS PAC, TRINA DISS KIA, AND NOW THAT SB WANT KIM TO JUST ROLLOVER AND TAKE THIS SHIT…. EVERYONE DISS, IT’S ENTERTAINMENT AND WHAT RAP WAS BASED OFF OF… KIM WILL HAVE A ALBUM BUT THIS SONG WAS SO HOT IT HAD TO COME WITH A VIDEO… WHICH IS GREAT FOR KIM. I MEAN I’M JUST SAYIING

    • Bed-Stuy Lady

      I totally agree. This new era of kids wanna change the rules of hip hop. Been going on since the beginning of rap I’m not understanding all the disgust in Lil Kim continuing a Hip Hop tradition. People Get A Clue!!!!!! This is what it’s all about and the only thing keeping me interesting in Hip Hop right now!

  18. Basic Instinct

    Nicki dissed kim in her music ,magazine articles and interviews calling kim a : has been,old bitch,time machine bitch ,montone and constantly boasting in songs that she ” TOOK THE SPOT”
    Nicki has swagger jacked lil kim by : claiming she is a barbie, rocking coloured wigs,sexi outfits and classic kim poses.
    Nicki has made songs about kim : Did it on em, Romans Revenge, I Aint Thru….
    Nicki has tried to replace kim by : working with lil kims old team.
    Nicki has tried to recreate lil kim into her by : using rick ross to be the new biggie, hanging with puffy and befriending Maino.
    IN CONCLUSION nicki minaj has gotten so many people to turn against lil kim and try to destroy kims legacy in the hopes of replacing her. most of kims friends have betrayed her for a new chick. and u bitches wna sai kims bitter. kim kill that bich.. how dare she

  19. Damian in Dallas

    I must say, that Kim appears to be this culprit in this beef as she has had beef with Foxy, Eve, Remi and now Nicki! Most MC’s talk shyt when spitting, so why does Nickis rhymes have to be specifically talking/referring to Kim? Instead of entertaining this beef, these two should have done a collabo & shut the game down…

  20. theconcreteloopist

    Lil’ Kim, I love u but what are u doing? And chile, ya’ll wrong for sayin’ Kim is 35, no ma’am!

  21. Demon

    I dont get Lil Kim…sit down and shut up…Nicki has a platinum record and on the top ten and on the cover of magazines, and the best female rapper in my opinion to do this shit. I cant stand Kim anymore and now she talking about putting out an album…and the dumb bitch thinks its gonna sell cauz she is just riding the Nicki train LMAO delusional cunt!…If you were the Queen and you wouldnt be acting like your shoe size.She just mad cauz she never got to the level of success nicki has got in such little time, Kim your a FLOP!. #Getalife

  22. Jelly

    iS SO iRONIC HOW nIKKI DID the song and it ended right ther But Kim is just trying to stay relivan by using Nikki’s name. This shit is no beef cuz while Kim is making a fool of her Plastic face that still isn’t moving or reflecting any form of Expression, Nikkie is busy covering Mags and siging business deal. Kim act like ur age and the “Queen” that u claim you are. Stupid ass Latoya Jackson look alike.

  23. kboogiedown

    this should be over by now. it’s very boring. yes lil kim you are the “queen b” and dana owens is “queen latifah”(the first “queen”, see it does’nt matter about queen nothing cause both nicki and kim took that title late lol. as far as style i have seen some of lil kim’s style in nicki but not all, that crazy eyes and rap style is nicki’s, sorry. i’m not even mentioning the clothes or wigs cause face it colored wigs and reavling clothes have been around forever. if kim thinks nicki is fake and gimmicky then she should let nicki burn out, cause good music last the test of time. i think this beef is silly. just make music. i like lil kim and nicki minaj. well, maybe one day this beef will go away and i can hear some great music but i’m not holding my breathe. some people just like drama. this is just my opinion, i think both of them are good and i just would rather heare thier music and not silly beefs about wigs and barbie dolls
