    “Big Brother” Foreshadows ‘Watch the Throne’

50 Cent Claims Lil Kim Dissed Nicki Minaj On Megan Thee Stallion’s ‘Plan B’ Remix, But Kim Says Otherwise

Yesterday, Funkmaster Flex debuted Megan Thee Stallion’s “Plan B” remix featuring Lil Kim, and while the song has yet to receive an official release, it’s already causing controversy. After the song premiered on Flex’s show, Instagram troll extraordinaire 50 Cent took the opportunity to goad Kimwith whom he’s had friction in previous years despite Kim giving him an early career boost via her La Bella Mafia hit “Magic Stick” — by stoking the Brooklyn rapper’s long-simmering feud with Nicki Minaj.

“@nickiminaj you better light her ass up I’m watching,” he wrote, accusing Kim of taking shots at Nicki on “Plan B.” “she said something about the baby.” Being who he is, he also couldn’t resist sneaking in his own snide jab. “her baby eye f*cked up.” The line in question opens the verse with a brutal string of uppercuts as she snaps, “N****, you’s a bitch, your father’s a bitch, your brother’s a bitch / Keep acting like this and your son gon’ be a bitch.”

Kim laughed off the accusation, though, commenting, “It’s ok he just doing what bitch n****z do. Now watch what God do to his life.” She then followed up with an explanation on her own Instagram Story, writing, “I never said a word about anyone’s child… please feel free to listen to the song where we were clearly talking about an EX. To try and twist my words to have an excuse to take digs at my child is disgusting. I’m one of the most disrespected legends in the game but what you will not do is come for MY CHILD.”

Then, she flipped 50’s reaction on him with a devastating judo move. “It’s so crazy how a song about bitch ass n****s could touch a bitch ass n****’s soul so deeply that he results to attacking a child,” she wondered. “Oh yeah it’s official to say… I’M THAT BITCH!!!! Okayyyyy 50 you got me! The song was about YOU!!!!” In other words, hit dogs holler.

50 has since deleted his Instagram post. Stay tuned for the official “Plan B” remix release.

“I don’t even have the words to explain how full and how huge of an accomplishment that was,” Blige said. “I just felt so strong. And I felt like, first of all, grateful to have been asked, but I definitely felt like I earned that moment,” Blige remarked. “So when it was my turn, I just showed the world who I was. If you’d never seen me or you never met me or you never went to any of my shows, you know exactly who I am after the Super Bowl. I just couldn’t wait to hit the Mary bopping. I just couldn’t wait to just be myself and do what I do in front of that audience. That was the world, that was a big deal. I was so grateful.”

Mary J. Blige is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
