In 2007, Keyshia Cole released an anthem for the females, which has become a popular phrase, "Let it Go." The song was produced by Missy Elliott and featured rap verses from Elliott and Lil' Kim. "Let it Go" was a big hit for Keyshia Cole after most had written her off as a one hit wonder.

Aside from boosting Keyshia Cole into superstardom, the song also marked the return of Missy Elliott and Lil' Kim. Neither artist had released an album since 2005. Lil' Kim was working on her comeback album, which has yet to come. At the time, Lil' Kim and Keyshia Cole were becoming good friends.

Keyshia Cole went on to become a major star and took over the game with her next album. Meanwhile, Lil' Kim ended up leaving her longtime label, Atlantic Records. Nicki Minaj was on the mixtape circuit, quickly rising to emerge in the mainstream. Following her third album, Keyshia Cole took time off to build her family, during this time Nicki Minaj began dominating the radio waves.

Fast forward to 2010 and Lil' Kim has major issues with Nicki Minaj. Keyshia Cole is working on her own comeback attempt and she reaches out to Nicki Minaj for help. For months, Nicki Minaj remained silent while Lil' Kim dissed her repeatedly. But, before the end of 2010, Nicki Minaj began responding to her disses and hitting back with some of her own. Nicki Minaj decided to use her verse on Keyshia Cole's song to diss Lil' Kim.

Upon hearing the song, Lil' Kim said she and Mary J. Blige were going to team up to begin dissing both of the women. This diss never came and Keyshia Cole ignored the shots from Lil' Kim. Recently, the two got into it on Twitter. Lil' Kim questioned their friendship and Keyshia Cole said they did not have one outside of making music. She said she thanked her for working on her song, but she had absolutely nothing to do with the feud with Nicki Minaj.

This angered Lil' Kim and she said all bets are off with Keyshia Cole.
