Lil Kim Talks Mixtape Sales Controversy "Why Aren't They Questioning The Black Friday Video Being At 2.5 million Views In Less Than 18 Hours,What's The Difference?" Labels Nicki Minaj "Obsolete"

Much has been made of the controversial sales figures for Lil Kim's 'Black Friday' mixtape.

Kim announced via twitter that the tape moved 113,000 copies in the 1st 28 hours.

Since then, some critics and even Kim's number 1 nemesis, Nicki Minaj have scoffed at the numbers.

 

Laughing at Kim doesn't stop the fact that the wolves are circling Nicki right now.  Her first time manager, Fendi teamed with Lil Kim on the "Black Friday" video


In an interview with  Rap-Up yesterday (February 17), Kimmy Blanco attempted to clear the air regarding the sales numbers and Nicki.

RU: What do you say to those who question the authenticity of those figures?

 
Kim: At the end of the day, you’re always going to have your haters. We need the haters. There was actually a representative at PayPal who basically didn’t really confirm or deny it, but also [said] that they’re very happy and proud of the success of Lil’ Kim. I think numbers in other areas speak for themselves. I mean, why aren’t they questioning the Black Friday [video] being at 2.5 [million views] in less than 18 hours? Why aren’t they questioning that? What’s the difference? How can you add up one thing and not the other? I just feel like people pick and choose the area that they want to attack [laughs].

RU: Do you know the current sales numbers?

 
Kim: No, I actually don’t know right now. I have a team that kinda checks up on all that. We’ll keep you posted.

RU: Nicki Minaj laughed off your sales claims. Did you see that? 

 
Kim: I heard about it. I didn’t see it actually for myself, but to be honest with you, homegirl is basically obsolete to me right now. She’s doing a lot of lame stuff. She’s so lame to me right now—she’s always been, but now really. At the end of the day, her sales can be questioned also. Not to say she didn’t have the build-up, but the only thing you kept hearing before her album dropped was nobody liked it, it was wack. Don’t get me wrong, she might have a couple songs that are OK, but who cares. The haters will be haters, that’s their job, and we need them.

 

I think the interview might spawn even more questions until people see actual proof, but you can't question the fact that Kim is building a nice buzz for herself right now.

niki is a product of pop music. She was packaged and put out to sell albums. She was packaged like a lot of the past pop music. Everyones albums. lots of radio push, the they saturate the market. Most the time they do not make it past there first album. Hince drake he had huge success with his mixtape album. Then his real ep* comes out and it fails for sales and top 10 and all. Not hating i wish the best for everyone just stating the facts.
