Lil' Kim continues to battle with Nicki Minaj as the former Notorious B.I.G. protégé unleashed her most scathing attack on the upstart MC yet with the newly released video to her dis track "Black Friday."
In the clip, Kim baits her nemesis by driving a neon yellow Lamborghini through Nicki Minaj's old Queens stomping grounds. The "Queen Bee" MC at one point literally stomps on a brightly colored wig, a dig at Nicki Minaj's penchant for donning hairpieces as a part of her look, a trend first started by Lil' Kim years ago.
"It'll be a murder scene/ I'm turning Pink Friday to 'Friday the 13th,' " Kim raps on the track.
"Alright you Lil' Kim clone clown/ All the buffoonery, the sh-- stops now," she continues.
Throughout the video, Kim targets Nicki for swiping her style without paying what she feels is proper homage, a claim she's made in various interviews. An actor playing Nicki Minaj is shown trying to replicate Lil' Kim's famous Hard Core promotional poster, which the Lil Wayne protégé replicated earlier in her career to promote a mixtape.
A later scene shows the Nicki clone in awe while watching Lil' Kim's "Crush on You" video, in which the Brooklyn MC switches wigs as fast as Nicki switches vocal deliveries.
In the final blow, a young girl has two dolls in front of her, one of Lil' Kim (though her hue is a bit too pale) and another of Nicki Minaj, with an enhanced bust line that reads "Swagga Jacka."
The girl picks Kim and turns her back on Nicki.
The video ends with a quote attributed to pop icon Michael Jackson (actually a Herman Melville quote borrowed by Jackson): "It's better to fail in originality, than to succeed in imitation ... period."
