For those of you who thought the feud between Nicki Minaj and Lil’ Kim was over, you had better think again. The two queens of hip hop are at it again, and this time it’s Lil Kim is firing the shots.

On her Twitter page, the multi-platinum artist and protégé of Biggie Smalls fired shot after shot on her Twitter page.

Lil Kim tweeted:

I would never name her ‘Shitty Garbaj’!!! My dog is way prettier than that b****!!!” she wrote. “What type of coward lame a** b**** tweets some shit and then deletes it. REAL b****** stand by what they say BOZO…”

The feud began a few months ago when Nicki Minaj appeared on a remix of Britney Spears song called “Til The World Ends.” There she took veiled shots at Lil Kim and what she has called a dead career.

Lil Kim continued her Twitter rampage but the words are too foul to reprint. It’s clear that there is no love lost between these two ladies. It’s not a common occurrence to see two female hip hop artist beefing. Clearly the idea of a public beef is often considered a male thing.

Nicki Minaj has been the subject of much criticism since she arrived on the scene. While she has managed to nab an assortment of well known artists to work with she has often come up short in attempting to keep up with their skill level.

“Roman’s Revenge,” which she did with Eminem, was considered a particular failure on her part. The difference between the command that both showed was obvious and made Nicki Minaj look incredibly weak.

This feud has existed for a while so it’s unlikely that they will resolve anything anytime soon. Things could get very interesting between these two outspoken ladies of hip-hop.

It appears that all was not right with the artist known as Nate Dogg upon his death. News is coming out that the southern California based hip hop artist was in a bit of trouble financially. Nate Dogg’s Pamona, California home went into foreclosure just two days after his death.

The bank has stated that Nate Dogg owed nearly $6,000 in mortgage payments and TMZ, the celebrity gossip site, has learned that Nate Dogg hadn’t made payments on his home since last December. It’s still unclear as to what the financial situation of Nate Dogg was at the time of his death. While it’s entirely possible that the R&B singer was broke, it’s also possible that Nate Dogg, who had suffered from numerous strokes over the last couple of years, simply had neglected them unintentionally.

The truth of Nate Dogg’s financial troubles may not have been known to the rest of the world, but it’s not anything new. Regardless of the downturn in the economy, there is a epidemic among hip hop artists where going broke is a commonality. The life of excess often exceeds the money they are making. When tied into the issues that many artists have with giving back to those who went along with them for the ride, there becomes an even bigger, and much harder to manage, problem.

Nate Dogg had a long career and was as instrumental to the development of the West Coast sound as those he worked with like Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. His smooth vocals were the first to give hip hop a serious musical voice instead of a rapper singing his own hooks.

As the story unfolds for Nate Dogg’s estate, we’ll learn just how deep his financial issues ran. Here’s hoping the worst of his financial troubles are behind him — for the sake of his family, anyway.
