In an interview with BBC’s Tim Westwood this past Friday, Diddy responded to Lil’ Kim’s recent disses towards him for aligning himself with Nicki Minaj. While performing “It’s All About the Benjamins” at a show in Baltimore, Lil’ Kim taunted Diddy, saying, “Ay, Puffy should be ashamed of his fuckin’ self!” Although Diddy makes it clear it’s still love between he and the Kim, he’s not going to apologize for working with the budding Young Money star.
“I love Lil’ Kim,” said the Bad Boy CEO. “I’m sorry that she’s mad. I never would have thought that by me working with another artist that she would take it the wrong way. But if she’s taking it the wrong way, it ain’t meant like that. Nicki never did anything to her…she ain’t trying to swagger-jack or say nothing negative about her, and I just think that Kim needs to just understand that Nicki as a whole…has always been respectful of her and Nicki’s not trying to be her…we’re riding with Nicki and we’re still riding with Kim…that love ain’t never going to change no matter what she says or what she feels…[but] I ain’t gonna make no apologies for working with Nicki Minaj.”
The controversy surrounding the Queen Bee and the Barbie began when Kim addressed Minaj’s style and music in a interview with Kendra G, saying, “…if you’re gonna swagger jack somebody and take their style, at least pay the respect and the homage.”
