In a recent interview with XXL, the emcee spoke on her twisted image in the media and her perceived beef with Nicki Minaj, even comparing the situation to the Biggie and Pac beef.

Lil Mama called Minaj out for "imitating" her style.

“There was never any animosity. She came to my show…the greeting was beautiful. It was like, “Hi beautiful, how are you?” you know what I mean. It wasn't like “Hi,” and then the name-calling or screwed up face or anything negative. If someone has something negative to say about you or they don't like you, they wouldn't greet you and say, Hello beautiful."

"If we decided to go at each other and then somebody ended up dead, everybody in hip-hop would be like, “Oh my God, it's so sad what happened to them.” It's just like what happened with Pac and Biggie. The same people that promote it and it's sad.”

The Harlem emcee who seems to be in the media lime light recently for all the wrong reasons also talked about her recent media coverage which has ranged from the good, the bad and the ugly.

“I love the positive. Everybody loves the positive. If you hear something positive, you be like, “Oh, I'm doing my thing!” But, this industry … it's like being in my grandmother's living room…there's like 50 of us…some people try to put you down and then some people will lift you up. It's not like we hate each other, it's just that you might have a negative energy when you tell somebody how you feel about them [laughs] because you're just tired of their stuff, you know.

But, growing up in New York… you take from everything. Even the drug addicts could tell you something, and for someone else they might be like, “Shut up, she don't know what she's talking about. She get high,” and then you might be like, “Naw, but did you hear what she just said? That helped me.” So, I take it all.”
 
Lil Mama annoys me and even if Nicki did bite her style, Nicki does it waaaay better. What do you think?
