If you followed the Ruff Ryders in the late 90’s then you surely know who Eve was. The Philly native proved to be one of the hottest female spitters around at that time.
It’s no secret that Eve was one of the most fierce female emcees to ever touch the mic. The rapper landed several hits in the 2000’s, and was considered at the top of a dying breed. Overall, Eve would go on to have several hits. However, in a recent interview Eve declaring Lil Kim the bitch back in the day is surprising.
Eve Declaring Lil Kim A Bitch
While Eve was on her rise to stardom, clearly Lil Kim was already at the top of the mountain. Kim was already in the presence of greatness alongside Biggie, Diddy, Mase, and other label mates under Bad Boy Ent. It’s no surprise that the two powerhouse females didn’t initially hit it off when they first met.

“Before meeting anyone, I imagined a sisterhood. I expected us all to be friends. But it wasn’t like that. I’d see Lil’ Kim and say hi, and she’d have this vibe like: ‘Stay away.’ Not in words – you could just sense it. But I was in my own world, and it never felt like a contest. I admired Missy Elliott and Kim, but I never aimed to replicate them.”
At the moment Eve is looking to make her return to the music scene with her fifth studio album. The rapper has been away for some time, as she’s been living her best life with her billionaire husband. Overall the hip-hop world will surely be eager to hear the direction of her music in the streaming era of music. Furthermore, she recalled further details into her early interactions with the Queen of Hip-hop.

“When I began in the industry, I was a huge fan of Lil’ Kim. So, I would approach her and say, ‘Hey, I love you so much. I just got signed. Can you be on my album?'” she shared on her talk show, The Talk, in January 2018.
