Birdman Denies Lil Kim's Claims

Lil Kim claimed last week that the beef between she and Nicki Minaj began to take root after Cash Money labelhead Birdman flaked out on collaborating with Kim. But in a recent interview, Birdman himself said that there was no truth to the Queen Bee's claims.

"Nah, ain't no truth to that," Birdman responded. "We based on creativity. If you know about YMCMB and you ever followed us and been a part of our music, biting and stealing that sh*t just ain't for us. All [those] rap wars, we just grinding for the money, sun up, sun down. It's Nicki Minaj all day everyday."

Kim said that she was slated to appear on some of Birdman's music, but she was unceremoniously replaced with Nicki. The two femcees have been taking shots at each other for the better part of two years.
