“You already know what she mean’s to me. She was B.I.G.’s right hand. Not only was she a top emcee, but she was a boss. She carried her own weight, and she represented and was the face of the Junior M.A.F.I.A. as well as being Lil’ Kim. I just can’t wait to see her shine.” – Rick Ross
“Everybody knows Lil’ Kim is the starter, the founder when it comes to fashion and lyrics. She influenced all of us young girls who came up in the hip-hop world.” –Spice
“Lil’ Kim has been my favorite female rapper of all time. She has the biggest impact as a female.” –Zaytoven
“Lil’ Kim is the mother. She birthed all of us. She came out with that nasty style talking dirty so, you know, she’s mommy.” –Casa Nova
