After Lil’ Kim spent a good portion of 2010 taking potshots at Nicki Minaj, the Harajuku Barbie has finally fired back. The Young Money rapper released the track ’Roman’s Revenge’ featuring Eminem this past weekend, sporting a beat from Swizz Beatz and effectively breaking her silence on the beef with lyrics aimed at her rival.
Rapping from the perspective of her alter ego Roman Zolanski, Nicki references Lil’ Kim’s previous comments that lashed out at her. "The f--- I look like, getting back to a has-been ?/ Yeah I said it, has-been/ Hang it up, flat screen," she raps on the track, appearing on her upcoming debut ’Pink Friday,’ due Nov. 22. "You out of work, I know it’s tough / But enough is enough."
Nicki continues with even pointier lyrics. "Is this the thanks that I get for putting you b----es on ?/ Is it my fault that all of you b----es gone ?/ Should have sent a thank you note, you little ho / Now, I’mma wrap your coffin with a bow," she snarks. "Nicki, she just mad ’cause you took the spot / Word ? That b---- mad because I took the spot ? / Well b----, if you ain’t s---tin’ then get off the pot / Got some n----s out in Brooklyn that’ll off ya top."
Minaj never expected to land a duet with Eminem for her upcoming debut album Pink Friday – and was thrilled when he accepted.
She tells MTV.com, “We went out on a whim and put it in the air like, ‘It’d be great if he would collaborate with us.’ I remember I kept talking about it, and I thought, ‘It can’t hurt.’ I sent him one record, and he didn’t love it. He didn’t say, ‘I don’t love it’ ; he just said, ‘Can you send me something that’s a little more me ?’
“I sent him an email and thanked him for that, just having enough respect. Sometimes people don’t respond. He had the respect, at least, to treat me like a peer.”
But the star decided to try her luck again and reached out to Eminem with her song Roman’s Revenge.
She adds, “He picked up the phone for that one… Even right now, I’m in shock… The real Slim Shady ! It was the most fun song on Pink Friday. It gave me life.”
