Azealia Banks vs Lil Kim


Harlem rapper Azealia Banks has been involved in so many rap beefs it's hard to keep track and she hasn't even dropped her first album yet.

Azealia has fired shots at Keayshawn, Iggy Azelia, T.I. and now she's rumbling with the B...

It all started after Azealia Banks sang Lil Kim's praises on Twitter and Kim responded and they spoke about working together.

A couple weeks passed and then Azealia posts this cryptic Tweet about a petty woman she used to admire and want to work with, followed by her unfollowing Lil Kim on Twitter and subsequently following Kim's nemesis Nicki Minaj. 


After the story started to go viral, Kim's camp released a statement claiming Azealia was trying to use Kim to get publicity.
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.
At which point Azealia poured the tea.
