Nicki Minaj has built her career off the image of another superstar rapper by the name of Lil Kim. She was encouraged to do so by her ex manager Fendi, Fendi has now confessed this since joining Lil Kim team. There is an enormous amount of evidence proving claims made by Lil Kim and Fendi, the majority of this evidence has been nicely presented in a video series called "PlayTime Is Over" you can find this on youtube. She was able to get away with this because during the time Nicki rose to fame Lil Kim had just left her label and was being sued, thus prevented form making music until she bought them out. Before the lawsuit Lil Kim was approached by Young Money camp to do a track with Nicki Minaj and baby, she was sent the track and she did her verses and sent it back to Baby. The song was released for feedback on Young Money website (still there), the reviews were mostly in favor of superstar rapper Lil Kim and thus Baby never put the track on his album. He opted to steal Lil Kim new flow and give it to Nicki Minaj whom flow switched up after that. This track is called "Grinding Getting Money" and can be found on youtube as well. We find this blatant act of plagiarism and copying disgusting and feel artists should have their own style and not be allowed to take literally everything (lyrics, mannerisms, flow and style) from another artist, in Nicki Minaj recent song "Only" she has copied superstar Lil Kim look again! The look is known as "Night Rider Kim" and the similarities are beyond obvious, not only is Nicki Minaj and Young Money making money off Lil Kim they are preventing her from using her own unique looks because Nicki fans think they are Nicki looks. Please sign this petition to demand Nicki Minaj stop copying Lil Kim.

The fact that Lil Kim is so disrespected by her peers is insane. she was in the indtry when women didn't have a voice. She made sure women had a platform to express there sexuality. To me the right thing to do is for anyone who uses her music or her hooks in their songs to give her royalties for her music.

Nicki minaj should be sued and jailed for creating the worst case of plagiarism this world has ever seen. Causing irreversible damage to kim and the industry.

. I am amazed Nicki Minaj has been allowed to get away with it for this long. Zero originality equals Zero longevity. Lil' Kim is like a fine wine that gets better with time. Kim started the whole Black Barbie dressed in Buvlgari… Nicki is not necessarily seen as a 'serious' rapper anyhow as she reminds me of a Teletubby or a character from In The Night Garden.

Lil' Kim was always the best and still is. Nicki Minaj couldn't ever take the QB style but she's trying and why steal when you can be original.
