Lil' Kim's publicist says Azealia Banks' beef ain't legit.
Setting aside her beef with Iggy Azalea for the time being,Azealia Banks has now made issues with Lil' Kim public.
Taking to Twitter, Banks let it be known that Lil' Kims' camp allegedly took offense to the former writing a reference track for Kim.
In a series of tweets, Banks elaborated on the matter:
@AZEALIABANKS♥ YUNG RAPUNXEL ♥Okay so true tea is that Lil Kim got mad that I wrote a verse for her on a record I wanted her on.

She continued, suggesting that Kim doesn't write her own rhymes, and was therefore trying to get the track done more efficiently, which resulted in "some long ass offensive email about how Lil Kim writes her own raps and doesn't need anyone's help."
@AZEALIABANKS♥ YUNG RAPUNXEL ♥@LilKim you DO know that YOUR management where the ones who said u needed us to write a reference verse in the first place .. Right?

Lil' Kim's camp responded to the barrage of tweets, releasing the following statement to allhiphop.com:
Earlier today a press release went out making a claim that there was friction between Hip Hop Icon Lil Kim and aspiring hip artist azealia banks. The release comes as a surprise to our team,being that my client and azealia have NEVER spoke to one another or met AT ALL. Kim was actually very flattered azealia’s public admiration for her, which is why it’s so hard to understand how someone who claims to be a true Lil Kim fan could flip the script so easily on someone who was supposedly their idol. It is also VERY interesting that NO ONE from her team made any attempts to reach out to anyone from our team to voice any concerns or problems that they may have had. I have NEVER heard of anyone having a conflict with someone they have NEVER met with or personally spoke with. We have no idea what they are referencing and have no desire to discuss the matter any further as there is nothing to talk about. It honestly seems that someone from azealia’s team would rather have her fans buy into manufactured drama instead of buying music. Kim knows nothing of any beef, and furthermore has had nothing but nice things to say about her. We don’t know what this is and will not address this any further. It seems that this is another sad attempt by someone trying to use my client for publicity. We wish her nothing but the best.
