Rap enthusiasts and critics have long ranked Lil Kim and Foxy Brown on top of their “best female emcees of all-time” lists, but when it comes to one another history has shown the ladies may not hold each other in as high esteem.
Taking to Instagram Live on Thursday (November 9), the GRAMMY winner updated her beloved fans (affectionately called #KillerBees) with an update on her long-awaited memoir, ‘The Queen Bee.’
Originally announced in 2021, the book has been serially delayed due a number of undisclosed reasons (which Kim alluded to in the video seen above).
“My book has been done,” she said in the livestream about the release setbacks. “I’m going to write y’all a letter to tell y’all what’s going on, but it’s not really cool. But I don’t want to use this to talk about it. I really don’t. But just know it’s like that. It’s crazy.”
Later in the chat, Kim made a comment that went viral when she compared the forthcoming autobiography’s pre-sale figures to the Holy Bible’s.
“When we post our presales, we be surpassing the Bible, and that’s crazy,” she relayed. “The Bible, I don’t take that lightly, I already know that… It’s some crazy s – – t going on behind the scenes. You have to be really careful when you deal with these book companies because they try to take advantage of you. You know, I’m a little Black woman.”
For the record, the Holy Bible is the best-selling book of all-time with reported figures surpassing the 5 billion mark. Although not directly stated, it is assumed Kim meant a recently released variation or updated version of the religious text.
Regardless, commenters ran with the bold statement on social media with criticisms ranging from calling the iconic rapstress “delusional” to “overzealous,” “sacrilegious,” or a downright “liar.”
Among those making headlines for weighing in is Kim’s one-time nemesis/fellow rapstress Foxy.
Granted, the ‘Hot Spot’ hitmaker didn’t give a lengthy reaction to the viral video but fans surmised she was in agreement with the critics because of her cryptic Instagram post (seen below).
At writing, Kim has not responded to Brown’s subliminal shot.
