Lil Kim 'wants respect from Nicki Minaj'

Lil Kim has reportedly suggested that newcomer Nicki Minaj should pay her respects to her.

The hip-hop veteran apparently said, while performing in New York City with guest Ray J, that the Young Money rapper ought to pay homage to her for paving the way for Minaj's recent success.

According to Global Grind, Ray J said: "It's a lot of people biting [Lil Kim's] style and s**t... I ain't saying no names, but you know who..."

Lil Kim added: "We love her! We just want them to pay homage, so we could all rock together. It's all about respect. You respect me, I respect you. If you don't respect me then f**k you."
