Nicki Minaj 'A Very Obnoxious Person,' Lil' Kim Says

was very forthcoming during her interview with New York Power 105's Breakfast Club morning show on Thursday (May 17), especially about her feud with Nicki Minaj.

Before Kimmy Blanco began fielding questions from show hosts DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God and Angela Yee, she questioned why media outlets don't grill Ms. Minaj like they do her. "She has a way of trying to avoid the situation, and y'all let her do it," Kim charged before she hit on the root of their issue.

According to the Queen Bee, she was on pace to sign with Cash Money, the same label that made Nicki a star. "Me and Slim were friends for four years, and we decided that we were going to go into business together," Kim said of her plans with CM co-CEO Ronald "Slim" Williams. "I was over there with Cash Money — I was getting ready to be partners with them."

The deal didn't go through, but Kim did record "Grinding Makin' Money," a track that included both Birdman and Minaj. The Notorious K.I.M. claims that the track was slated for Birdman's 2009 album Priceless but didn't make the final cut. "They put the record out. I guess they didn't like the response — they saw the response and they pulled the record off, pulled it back, never put it on his album, nothing," Kim said.

In the Big Momma's mind, the single was to be beneficial to all parties. For Nicki and Cash Money, doing a song with the female rap great would help stamp a then-budding Minaj. In addition, it would put Kim back into rotation at radio, an important step in restarting her career after she was released from federal prison in 2006. But Birdman and company went cold on the track. "If that would've been a big video and a big event record, that would've been big for both of us," Lil' Kim reasoned. "But I personally think they didn't want me to stand beside her, which is stupid."

Kim went on to claim that Nicki's new record "Automatic" is strikingly similar to an unreleased record of the same name that she recorded and played for Cash Money brass three years ago.

"On her new album, she has a song called 'Automatic,' and the song is so similar to the song that I played for Slim," Kim charged. "The problem with her is she was very catty with it. I never had a problem with her — I was always, always nice with her, always. She was a very obnoxious person, but I was always nice with her."
