Jadakiss On Lil Kim's Nicki Minaj Beef, "Don't Wait Until She Gets Scorching Hot To Try To Go At Her"
"I think it's kinda corny," Jada told radio personality Jenny Boom Boom. "I can't knock Kim for saying whatever she wants to say about Nicki but you could have been said it. That's the only thing I feel. Don't wait until she gets scorching hot to try to go at her. She's been copying her since she came in with the big crotch photos shoots so if you want to just say something, you had to [say something] when she came out. It looks kinda corny like she's trying to get a little, you know what I mean, looks like she's trying to reap some benefits. She's the Queen Bee, that's hands down, I think she's just paying homage, if you follow Nicki, she's got a little Kim in her, she's got a little bit of everybody...I can't really knock her for that. When you're in this game and heating up, they want to see you go at somebody before you even get your real stripes, you gotta have your nice little battle or something significant and even y'all get involved, the media, the TV networks, to see what the outcome is so...she writes her own rhymes and she's nice, so you know, let's see what happens..."
