Interview Magazine: Saweetie and Lil’ Kim Meet For The First Time, Fangirling Ensues
When Saweetie landed a viral hit with her boss-up anthem “ICY GRL,” it was the product of unchecked confidence and limitless ambition. As a student at the University of Southern California, the Bay Area native already knew she could rap and used her Instagram account to prove it. Videos of Saweetie freestyling in the front seat of her car, along with a hyperactive SoundCloud page, eventually led to a record deal and her debut EP, High Maintenance. She flaunted her ability to weaponize words and spray them unsparingly at her exes and cynics on songs such as “B.A.N.” and “Good Good.” And even though her career is a product of the internet, the 26-year-old rapper, born Diamonté Harper, remains a student of hip hop’s pre-digital heyday. Her biggest hit, “My Type,” samples Petey Pablo’s “Freek-a-Leek,” and her most recent EP, this year’s ICY, is an old-school ode to getting the bag. Her respect for the history of the genre is why, when she spoke to her idol Lil’ Kim for the first time, she could barely contain herself.
LIL’ KIM: Hey, sexy girl! Where you at?
SAWEETIE: I just flew from L.A. to San Diego. I have a show here tonight. Where you at?
KIM: I’m in Jersey. So, first of all, how did you get so freaking dope?
SAWEETIE: Oh my gosh. I’m sorry. I’m having a moment. I can’t believe it’s you. You sound just like your songs!
KIM: I don’t think they saw you fucking coming. And I still don’t think they see you coming. You feel me?

Lil Kim Squares Up With Anti-Fur Protester in NYC
Click on the image below to watch the video on TMZ.com
(TMZ) Lil Kim wasn't about to let an anti-fur protester tell her what animals she can and can't wear ... nearly trading blows with the woman before security stepped in.
Kim was outside Verizon Media Studios in New York City Tuesday when multiple anti-fur protesters started shouting "Stop wearing fur!" at Kim. One woman got just a little too close for LK's liking ... and that's when she started walking toward the woman telling her to "back up" several times.
Lucky for the protester, Kim's security stepped in between the two and diffused the situation.
