Lil Kim was a guest on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live" Wednesday (February 15) and the Queen Bee had quite a lot to say about her arch nemesis Nicki Minaj.
When asked who she thought was the most overrated artist at this moment, Kim didn't say Nicki's name directly but made sure you knew who she was referring to by doing an impersonation of the "In Living Color" character Fire Marshall Bill.
Kim also had disparaging remarks to say about Nicki's song "Stupid Hoe," a track that a lot of people perceived as a Kim diss.
"I'm pretty sure I feel the same was everybody else feels right about now," Kim said. "If you have to make a song called 'Stupid Hoe' you must be the stupid hoe."

While fans wait on the new Slaughterhouse album, Welcome To: Our House to drop on May 15, Joe Budden is doing his best to keep them occupied. Budden follows up his "No Church in the Wild" freestyle with "Stay Schemin."
The Slaughterhouse crew hits the road for a 43-city tour starting March 8 in Dallas. By that point we should have the group's first single from the new album.
Nicki Minaj's "Stupid H*e" music video has racked up over 20 million youtube hits since it premiered January 20, but it won't be seen on BET.
The cable network is refusing to air it according to TMZ because it's too explicit for television. Nicki tweeted on Saturday that the video would be seen on MTV Jams, which is also owned by Viacom so that wouldn't seem to make any sense.
Fans of the video can still see it unedited on youtube. The video-sharing website hasn't flagged it as being inappropriate or age-restricted.
BET has yet to release an official statement on the ban.

It looks like the Common vs. Drake beef is officially over.
When Common spoke to Rolling Stone last week he told them that he wasn't going to fire any more shots if Drake didn't respond to his "Stay Schemin" diss.
"I feel like I said what I had to say, and I'm just going to let it be at that point," he said at the time. "Now, if something else happens, then I'll just have to act accordingly. But right now, I feel like, man, I said what I needed to say about this situation on record."
Now Drake has gone on record saying he won't respond because he feels like Common was only using him to promote his album.
"Despite how it’s been worded by him that situation is not a hip hop moment or a battle for the sake of musical integrity," Drake told Nah Right in a new interview. "It’s a ploy for attention around the release of an album. More than anything it was just disappointing cause what kid isn’t a fan of what Common has done for our genre. A guy who made such an incredible career for himself based off expressing genuine feelings about life and love is now targeting me for sharing my story."
How do you feel about Drake not responding? Did he lose the battle or was he right to assume it was a publicity stunt by Common?

Cory Gunz is a free man this morning after his father, Peter Gunz, posted his $30,000 bail. The 24-year old posted several messages on Twitter once he was home and expressed remorse for his arrest on a gun charge.
"Lock My Body, Kan't Trap My Mind," he wrote on the social networking site. "I apologize to all of my Supporters, Friends and Family. Things Happen, No excuses. My only regret is letting ya'll down... Peace."
Corey, born Peter Cory Pankey Jr., was arrested in the Bronx, New York Saturday when plainclothes cops responding to a fight in the area apprehended him when he exited a cab and found a loaded, unregistered Taurus .9mm handgun in his backpack as well as a face mask reports XXL.
"This was a big mistake on my part," Gunz told the New York Daily News after his release. "I didn't have any intentions of harming anyone or committing a criminal activity. So many young people look up to me and I need to fight though this."
New York has notoriously strict gun laws. Lil Wayne, who signed Cory to his Young Money label last year spent 10 months locked up in Rikers Island in 2010 on a gun charge. Prodigy of Mobb Deep was released from prison in March 2011 after serving 3 years on similar charges.
One of the rapper's biggest supporters is Nick Cannon, who executive produced Cory's MTV show "Son of a Gun." Cannon tweeted that he would be there for Cory if needed.
"Great dude, just a little bad luck. @CoryGunz is holding strong and will be out shortly. Family is here if and when anything is needed," Cannon wrote.
Peter Gunz said he believes his son was searched illegally.
"It was definitely an illegal search," Peter said. "He just got out of a cab and police ran up on him and they were in plainclothes. He didn't know they were cops - he thought he was getting robbed."
If convicted, Cory faces a mandatory minimum sentence of three and 1/2 years.

Bow Wow has run into some legal trouble in Tennessee that might require he spent a couple of days in jail before it's all cleared up.
TMZ is reporting that the rapper failed to pay a $100,000 tour bus bill from 2009 to a Tennessee company. The company then filed a lawsuit in Georgia where the rapper lives to get the judgement enforced.
He was ordered to show documents regarding the lawsuit. After he failed to do so the tour bus company filed a motion to have the rapper held in contempt.
In October 2011 a Georgia judge granted the motion and ordered the rapper be arrested and held until he produces the documents. According to the report Bow Wow still hasn't responded and will have to keep looking over his shoulder until he does.

Drake released this video yesterday via his OctobersVeryOwn blog spot. It features a thick female dancing to "Practice." A track off of his platinum selling "Take Care" album. It initially looks like some random clip the young lady put together until Drizzy walks in near the end and gives her a big hug. While not the official video we're pretty sure most guys won't hate on it.
Drake is asking his female fans to submit videos of themselves dancing to his tune. It's not clear if the winner will appear in an official video for the track or if Drake just wants to see how many sexy ladies will actually send videos in.
Ladies if you're interested head over to Drake's website for information on how to submit your "Practice" video.

In episode 10 of Bow Wow's web series "Underrated" he hits up Chateau Nightclub in Las Vegas before jetting to Los Angeles to link up with Wiz Khalifa.
There's plenty of Kush smoke in the air as the two rappers pull an all-nighter in the studio. At about 6 am in the morning Wiz is so high he loses track of what he's supposed to be doing.
"I don't even know what the f*ck I'm looking for, I'm high as hell," says the Taylor Gang chief. "What the f*ck am I doing? I think I'm looking for some beats."
The life of a rap star, lol.
Underrated the album coming soon.
