It seems like Lil Kim just can’t seem to stay out of trouble on Twitter these days. After hurling disses at rival emcee Nicki Minaj over the social networking site, the “Hardcore” emcee has now gotten into a heated digital scuffle with R&B singer Keyshia Cole after the singer made a comment claiming that the two are “not friends.”
Apparently, the drama was set into motion months ago when, in an interview, Lil Kim explained that she felt betrayed by Cole when the singer collaborated with Nicki on the single “I Ain’t Thru,” which Lil Kim believes contained disses from her rival.
On May 18, Cole took to Twitter and finally responded to Lil Kim’s comments, explaining that they were never friends in the first place.
“N while we’re addressing everything, Lil Kim and I a r not “friends” I take that term very seriously. We made wonderful music. That is it,” tweeted Cole, referencing their hit 2007 collaboration “Let It Go,” which also featured Missy Elliot.
Lil Kim promptly fired back at Cole, questioning the singer’s sense of loyalty and explaining that her collaboration with Cole was an attempt to become friends.
“U got that right. We are not friends. The same way U take friendship seriously i take loyalty serious,” Kim responded. “The whole world has seen me extend my hand to u over and over again. Only someone who’s trying to build a sincere relationship does shows 4 free & supports. u did not pay me a dime 4 none of that. That warrants some type of loyalty and respect. ”
Trying to keep things respectful, Cole attempted to diffuse the situation, explaining that she never intended to disrespect Lil Kim.
“Kim that was a gr8 look 4 I coming out of jail just as it was a gr8 look for missy to have produced it,” said Cole. “all I’m saying is don’t have everyone thinking I was disloyal as a “friends” cause we were never that and u know it. No disrespect.”
However, Lil Kim, already fired up, continued to slam Cole in a series of heated tweets.
“Friend or no friend i would have never let anybody disrespect u on my record but i can’t expect everyone to be as real as i am,” tweeted Kim. “At the end of the day karma is as real as i am and it’s coming to get u. oh wait…if it hasnt got u already…My love & loyalty to u got u a hit, ur friendship with ur friend got u a flop. looks like u need to choose ur friends more wisely dont u think? #teamlilkim LEGGGGOOOO.”
