Lil Mama calls herself a 'Trendsetter', claims Nicki Minaj is copying her


And with that let the shit storm begin. Recently when she was interview by VIBE Magazine, Lil Mama did what she does best, ran her mouth. While announcing her greatness and all that other delusional shit Lil Mama somehow got on the subject of Nicki Minaj and how she believes the Ghetto Barbie is copying her style. Here is what the Lil Trendsetter had to say:

 "Nicki Minaj started wearing that bob on her head after she came to my show, so at the end of the day I know what I do and I know what I possess and I know who I am. I’m a trendsetter. The biggest form of flattery is imitation so I’m flattered. I understand the universal law. I’m not confused, I don’t feel like a follower. I started so many things that new artists are doing now anyway –my style, the way I’m aggressive on a track, the way I come through, the way my beat bangs. There are so many things that were borrowed, that I influenced that’s happening in music right, so I’m far from discouraged.
Yeah, she was a guest on America’s Best Dance Crew and immediately afterwards, everywhere she went, she was wearing the haircut, the same exact way. But that doesn’t make me feel like ‘Oh she’s trying to be down’ like how I said about our culture. I’m actually flattered because she imitated me and it felt like something that I was doing was cute and in time for the fashion and for the season, so it’s like let’s live, let’s do it."

I'm not gonna lie, i do see the similarities in the wig and i do think that its possible that Nicki drew 'inspiration' from the wig Lil Mama was sporting, but overall i do NOT think its a justifiable cause for running your mouth. Dear Lil Mama, think before you speak.
