Lil Kim feels like she was disrespected after BET personality Rocsi Diaz asked her a question about Nicki Minaj during a recent appearance on BET’s 106 & Park.
Lil Kim was on the show Friday (Mar 9) to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the death of her late friend Notorious B.I.G. and promote her own projects, however the nature of the interview quickly changed once host Rocsi mentioned what she referred to as the “elephant in the room,” or in other words … Nicki Minaj.
Kim tried to politely brush the “question” off, however Rocsi continued to press the issue, stating:
“Kim, with much respect due to you and your craft and I’m not trying to not say what the fans don’t want to hear but it’s being an elephant in the room and it’s being spit out there. It’s the only reason why I address it, but I respect your game if you say you don’t want to talk about it but I don’t want to see you talking about it somewhere else.”
Without either of them actually mentioning Minaj’s name, a clearly irritated Lil Kim quickly responded back, saying that she was done talking about the issue … at least for now:
“At the end of the day, this is about Kim right now. We gave you that movie already, you know what I’m sayin’. We movin’ on to a whole ‘nother direction and if it come back that way, then we give ya’ll another movie. But right now we moving into another direction. ‘Bout to drop some new singles for Queen Bee and Brooklyn.”
Lil Kim later addressed the situation on Twitter:
“I want to take this time 2 say #TeamLilKim & all my fans that came out 2 106. I f**king love u guys. Y’all really turnt it up & represented,” she tweeted. “Even when Rocsi tried to get disrespectful towards the end & ask an unappropriate irrelevant question on the day we are supposed to be celebrating my man, notorious B.I.G’s accomplishments.”
