Lil' Kim recruits Mary J. Blige to diss Nicki Minaj and Keyshia Cole

Long before Nicki Minaj entered the spotlight, the game was very different. The rising female in the game was Keyshia Cole. She was receiving comparisons to Mary J. Blige. Cole was also gaining credibility.

In 2007, on her second album, Keyshia Cole teamed up with Lil' Kim and Missy Elloitt. The three women created the female anthem, "Let It Go." The song would go on to be a major hit for Cole, who was close to being considered a one hit woner. Lil' Kim praised Keyshia Cole and her talents.

Nearly four years later, Lil' Kim is singing an entirely different song. Keyshia Cole has since gone off and had a child and is now working on her comeback. Lil' Kim is no longer the queen bee of the rap game. That title has been passed along to Nicki Minaj and Lil' Kim is not very happy about it. Ever since Nicki Minaj began making hit singles, Lil' Kim has been releasing diss records. Recently, Nicki Minaj began responding to the records and still teaming up with stars. Her most recent collaboration was with Keyshia Cole.

After Nicki Minaj's collaboration with Keyshia Cole, fans have compared them to a new version of the duo that Lil' Kim and Mary J. Blige had formed over a decade ago. While Lil' Kim had love for Keyshia Cole before, she does not anymore. She is accusing Keyshia Cole of trying to replace Mary J. Blige and, of course, Nicki Minaj of trying to replace her. Recently, Lil' Kim went on stage at a recent concert and she called both of them out for their actions.

Lil' Kim said she and Mary J. Blige are tired of both of them and might put together a new diss. Kim said she is willing to work with Nicki Minaj and with Cole, again, but they will not be taking anything. She said she has no time for games in 2011. After her onstage rant, Lil' Kim's representative released a statement dening a diss record with Lil' Kim and Mary J. Blige. The statement says no new diss record will be released.
