Ja Rule: 'Kim, Minaj should make record'

Ja Rule has said that Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj should collaborate on a record together.

Earlier this month, Kim suggested that the Young Money newcomer ought to pay homage to her for her recent success.

The former Murder Inc. star has claimed that the feud between the female rappers is "silly" and insisted that the pair should make up and record a "hot" song.

Rule told Vlad TV: "I thought Nicki was paying homage. I never heard Nicki say nothing disrespectful about Kim. As a matter of fact, in interviews I thought I heard Nicki say she likes Kim - for me, having been in possibly the biggest beef in hip-hop, I think hip-hop beefs are wack because the beef I was in, n***as act like I didn't battle back.

"I didn't make rap battles, nah, y'all didn't want to hear my raps back at 50 [Cent] or y'all didn't want to hear what I had to say about 50 because he was the new hot artist at the time - everybody rode on that wave, which I understand.

"I think it's silly for Nicki and Kim to be arguing. I think they could be making hot records together because it's obvious that Nicki likes Kim, she did the same pose, like, that pose is so obvious Kim. Nobody can mistake that for being you, that can only be said as paying homage. It's not like she tried to steal that from you. It can't, that was your s**t."
