In an interview with VIBE, Lil Mama shot down a question about people’s criticism about her rocking the Nicki Minaj-like wig on the red carpet at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards.
The 21 year-old America’s Dance Crew judge cleared the air about the speculation of her copying the Young Money rapper’s hairstyle and stated that the swagger jackin’ iss in fact the other way around:
“She was a guest on ‘America’s Best Dance Crew’ and immediately afterwards, everywhere she went, she was wearing the haircut, the same exact way,” she continued. 
“But that doesn’t make me feel like ‘Oh she’s trying to be down’ like how I said about our culture. I’m actually flattered because she imitated me and it felt like something that I was doing was cute and in time for the fashion and for the season, so it’s like let’s live, let’s do it.”
“My cut is blunt and futuristic and Nicki Minaj started wearing that bob on her head after she came to my show, so at the end of the day I know what I do and I know what I possess and I know who I am. “I’m a trendsetter,” she said. The biggest form of flattery is imitation so I’m flattered. I understand the universal law. I’m not confused, I don’t feel like a follower. I started so many things that new artists are doing now anyway –my style, the way I’m aggressive on a track, the way I come through, the way my beat bangs. There are so many things that were borrowed, that I influenced that’s happening in music right, so I’m far from discouraged.” [READ MORE]

An inmate by the name of Dexter Isaac came forward and confessed his involvement in the shooting of rapper Tupac Shakur back in November 1994. Isaac claimed that he was paid $2,500 dollars by his former friend, James “Jimmy Henchman” Rosemond inside New York City’s Quad Studios:
ALL HIP-HOP REPORTS THE EXCLUSIVE:
In 1994, James Rosemond hired me to rob 2Pac Shakur at the Quad Studio. He gave me $2,500, plus all the jewelry I took, except for one ring, which he wanted for himself. It was the biggest of the two diamond rings that we took. He said he wanted to put the stone in new setting for his girlfriend at the time.
Now I’m not going to talk about my friend Biggie’s death or 2Pac’s death, but I would like to give their mothers some closure. It’s about time that some one did, and I will do so at a different time. Jimmy, you and Puffy like to come off all innocent-like, but as the saying goes: You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time…
