So Lil’ Kim decided to fully respond to this:

….this is supposedly Nicki’s response to Lil’ Kim’s claim of mixtape sales. Here is her response (from Rap-Up):

What do you say to those who question the authenticity of those figures?

At the end of the day, you’re always going to have your haters. We need the haters. There was actually a representative at PayPal who basically didn’t really confirm or deny it, but also [said] that they’re very happy and proud of the success of Lil’ Kim. I think numbers in other areas speak for themselves. I mean, why aren’t they questioning the Black Friday being at 2.5 [million views] in less than 18 hours? Why aren’t they questioning that? What’s the difference? How can you add up one thing and not the other? I just feel like people pick and choose the area that they want to attack [laughs].

Nicki Minaj laughed off your sales claims. Did you see that?
I heard about it. I didn’t see it actually for myself, but to be honest with you, homegirl is basically obsolete to me right now. She’s doing a lot of lame stuff. She’s so lame to me right now—she’s always been, but now really. At the end of the day, her sales can be questioned also. Not to say she didn’t have the build-up, but the only thing you kept hearing before her album dropped was nobody liked it, it was wack. Don’t get me wrong, she might have a couple songs that are OK, but who cares. The haters will be haters, that’s their job, and we need them.

Really? Obsolete? Is this why you made her the focal point of your mixtape cover? Or why you rapping about her over her beats?

I honestly don’t get why she thinks this is cool….she must have heard the opinions of her peers. Who is keeping her in this path of destruction? Ray J?
Lil’ Kim is dragging herself deeper into the abyss of laughable rappers. She keeps this up she’ll be in the same company as Yung Berg and Charles Hamilton (for the record, I’m a fan of Charles Hamilton). I can only hope that this “project” that she made her fans pay for is truly worth listening to, especially since we all know what the subject of this “project” will be about.
By the way, the idea of an entire album’s lyrics being about your enemy didn’t work for Mobb Deep Prodigy and Infamy, either.
