Lil’ Kim Says She Wants to Go Against Nicki Minaj in a Verzuz Competition

With the popularity of the Verzuz battles started by Kasseem Daoud Dean, also known as Swizz Beatz, and Timothy Zachery Mosley, who goes by the moniker, Timbaland, it seems that many artists are positioning themselves to go against their contemporaries. Brooklyn, New York’s Kimberly Denise Jones has thrown her hat into the arena by stating who she wants to go against in a Verzuz matchup.

After the Saturday night battle between DeAndre Cortez Way, AKA Soulja Boy, and Shad Moss, better known as Bow Wow, people are speculating what the next one will be. According to Billboard, at yesterday’s 2021 BET Awards red carpet, Jones, who we know as Lil’ Kim, stated who she’d like to go toe-to-toe with in a Verzuz competition.

The Breakfast Club’s RaaShaun Casey, who goes by DJ Envy, had asked Lil Kim who she would battle if given the opportunity. “Not going to say who against, but would you do a Verzuz?” DJ Envy asked. “Is there anybody that you’d do it against? Or are you just ready for anybody?”

Kim responded, “Nicki.” (As in Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty AKA Nicki Minaj)
