Recently, New York rap legend Lil Kim went viral for her new single, ‘Santa Papi.’ However, it seems that the new single has attracted some bad publicity.
Kim Isn’t Getting Her Flowers
The ‘Lady Marmalade’ emcee has made a name for herself being one of the first prolific female rappers on the music scene. Despite her accolades, Kim has been on the receiving end of ridicule in recent years. From her feud with fellow New York rapper Nicki Minaj to her extensive plastic surgery and relationship with Biggie Smalls, Kim hasn’t caught a break in the public eye in a very long time.
Kim’s most recent song, ‘Santa Papi,’ was also released with Nick Cannon’s Miracles Across 125th Street film yesterday (Dec. 21). The music and video were mocked across social media immediately upon release.
Yesterday evening, Cardi unexpectedly stepped in for the “Queen Bee” and defended her against the haters. “I’m tired of it and it’s heartbreaking… She’s is so sweet, supportive and a REAL F*CKIN LEGEND,” she typed. “I remember when I used to beef wit b*tches and I used to put on my MySpace her song F*CK YOU! I think it gotta be these 2000’s born kids on this app that don’t know about sh*t!”
I’m tired of it and it’s heartbreaking…She’s is so sweet ,supportive and a REAL FUCKIN LEGEND ..I remember when I used to beef wit bitches and I used to put on my MySpace her song FUCK YOU!😂I think it gotta be these 2000’s born kids on this app that don’t know about shit! https://t.co/s2ZkCgJLnx
The sudden defense caused Cardi to receive backlash, with fans questioning her sincerity. Cardi and Lil Kim have never collaborated despite being extremely popular female New York rappers. Cardi, as always, was quick to fire back.
Why you ain’t ask Remy or Kim to be on your second single baby girl? https://t.co/MMzkq7AATO
What do a collab go to do with someone constantly getting CYBER BULLY? before a artist I am a woman wit feelings and I know how much it hurts to constantly get picked on…When I collab wit her is going to be at the right time & the right song.I don’t rush BIG MOMENTS! https://t.co/YqoVV78DpU

Cardi..Girl & so was Nicki Minaj towards u but your Label pushed U 2 constantly lie on her & throw a shoe at her head. U pick & choose when you wanna stand up for female rappers, but you target and shade the female rapper that can rap AND WRITE circles around ya head. @iamcardibhttps://t.co/1heWitbqqI
