Azealia Banks BLASTS Lil Kim: ‘Everyone Knows You Don't Write Your Own Raps’ , Plus Lil Kim’s Rep Releases Statement!
May 06, 2012GWL Staff
Upcoming rapper Azealia Banks is no stranger to tweefing with artists and bloggers. And she was back at it again this weekend with her alleged idol Lil Kim who Banks claiming brushed her off after she sent her a track to work on. On Saturday, she subliminally tweeted:
‘It really sucks when someone you respect and admire is trying to act brand new when all u did was reach out and try to work.. I can’t lie.. My little feelings are hurt. Women are so petty…. But whatever… Your loss.. Not mine.
Today, Azealia was a little more bold and actually name dropped Lil Kim while explaining why she was so upset. According to her tweets, she reached out to Lil Kim to see if they could do a track together and sent a reference verse. Lil Kim was offended by the fact that Azealia wrote the verse for her [rightfully so] and her assistant basically sent Azealia a ‘Thanks, but no thanks’ email.

Okay so true tea is that Lil Kim got mad that I wrote a verse for her on a record I wanted her on.Meanwhile, Kim’s reps are accusing Azealia Banks of manufacturing a fake beef with Kim for publicity. After Azealia’s initial tweets of being snubbed by an artist, Kim’s reps released a statement to All Hip Hop, saying that Kim was surprised by Azealia’s statements since the two have never met or spoke at all.
Everyone knows Lil Kim doesn’t write her own raps and I saw this as a faster more efficient way of getting the track done.
She then had her assistant write me some long ass offensive email about how Lil Kim writes her own raps and doesn’t need anyone’s help.
So….. My question was and is still… IS SHE DOING THE TRACK?
Who cares about what you use to do…. WILL YOU DO THE TRACK??!
All this extra sh-t is stupid. Keep closing your own doors ma. @lilkim There's no beef at all.
Earlier today a press release went out making a claim that there was friction between Hip Hop Icon “Lil Kim” and aspiring hip artist azealia banks. The release comes as a surprise to our team,being that my client and azealia have NEVER spoke to one another or met AT ALL. Kim was actually very flattered azealia’s public admiration for her, which is why it’s so hard to understand how someone who claims to be a true Lil Kim fan could flip the script so easily on someone who was supposedly their idol.
It is also VERY interesting that NO ONE from her team made any attempts to reach out to anyone from our team to voice any concerns or problems that they may have had. I have NEVER heard of anyone having a conflict with someone they have NEVER met with or personally spoke with. We have no idea what they are referencing and have no desire to discuss the matter any further as there is nothing to talk about. It honestly seems that someone from azealia’s team would rather have her fans buy into manufactured drama instead of buying music. Kim knows nothing of any beef, and furthermore has had nothing but nice things to say about her. We don’t know what this is and will not address this any further. It seems that this is another sad attempt by someone trying to use my client for publicity. We wish her nothing but the best.
Granted, Lil Kim’s reps released the press release before Azealia actually name dropped Kim on twitter so she hasn’t had the chance to respond to Azealia’s claims that she sent her a verse…And we know Lil Kim is not about to do a track with Azealia now that she called her out like that. Not only did she blast Kim on twitter, but she took little side swipes
@LilKim you DO know that YOUR management where the ones who said u needed us to write a reference verse in the first place .. Right?As much as we’d love to see Kim on a track with another female artist, Azealia ain’t gonna be it. Lil Kim is not gonna do that track after this twitter stunt. She may even run and do a track with Iggy Azeala after this to prove a point. Meanwhile, Azealia Banks did get in the studio with one other female artist, Missy Elliott, who she announced she worked with last month.
BUT I BETTER NOT HEAR NONE OF MY LYRICS ON YA RECORDS MA! I WILL SUE DAT AZZZZZ!
Oh well … I’m still gonna steal all of her outfits & hairstyles … ‘cept I’m gonna keep all the credit and not involve her in any of it.
@LilKim real talk I just want that verse …. ya know..? I’m not really here for ur team and they’re pseudo professionalism
@LilKim u can still use the verse of you want.. Or feel free to write your own. But you should really do the verse
Lol all bullshit aside I’m here for this $$$$$$. Let’s get it … Why not?
@LilKim YOU KNOW YOU WANT TOOOOO
@LilKim COMAAAAAAAAAAAAAHN!
@MissyElliot and I are working together! Y’all m’fkkahs r SERIOUSLY NOT READY FOR THISI guess, picking a fight with a well-known artist is a good way for building your career! and we can say that an updated version of Ladies Night is out of the window…
