Grammy-winning rapper T.I. has shared his opinion of female hip-hop phenom Nicki Minaj and refused to referee her past dispute with Brooklyn rap veteran Lil Kim.
Based on an unreleased excerpt from Tip's new VIBE cover story, he admits Minaj is a fierce competitor.
Next "Lil Kim Nicki Minaj Beef" is sent through the search engine, followed by a quick briefing on last Spring's claw-stretched feud between the Queen Bee and hip-hop's reigning Queen. Tip is the least interested in lending this any bandwidth. "It's hard for me to take rap beef seriously," he says dismissively. "But I will say that Nicki's on fire now. She's a monster, literally."

Recently, SOHH asked Dipset's Freekey Zekey why there is no female Diplomat to sharpen up the lady rap game competition.
"It's not hard to work with women because if you got control of what's going on, then you can take them to any plateau," Zekey told SOHH. "There's a lot of females and they get too hyped and too happy and want to jump into things. So when you finally get a female -- she has 672 new managers, her boyfriend needs to be on every trip, she's got 800 stylists 'cause her aunt who used to do hair in the projects, she [can] do her hair a little better and she's got her and her baby daddy's sister. Nah. You know what I'm saying? There's a lot of things that go with that. Actually, we haven't come across one, not saying we're out there with the binoculars looking to find [a female star], snatch her up and mold her." (SOHH)
