On Monday night VH1 honored some of the dopest female emcee’s to ever live. That list includes Queen Latifah, Salt-N-Pepa, Missy Elliot and last but not least Brooklyn’s own Lil Kim.
During her tribute she was joined on stage by Rich Homie Quan to perform Biggie’s “Get Money,” we’re guessing you know the rest. Calling into Sway in the Morning today, Lil Kim opened up about the lyric mishap by her good friend Rich Homie Quan and also spoke on her relationship with Faith Evans.
Starting her transparent conversation with Sway talking about Faith’s introduction, Lil’ Kim says the moment was beautiful as she reveals they are quite close now. Going forward she mentions working on a song together and having a teary eyed conversation about Biggie.
Changing topics to Rich Homie Quan, Kim has a lot to say about what transpired over the days leading up to the show. Revealing that two very prominent male artists pulled out of the performance at the last minute she praises Rich Homie Quan’s dedication and eagerness to jump on a plane to honor her and Biggie. Although it was a “dagger to the heart” as she says, Kim boils things down to bad communication.
She tells Sway that she called, Rick Ross, Nas, Method Man and Fabolous, all of which had prior engagements. The revelation to ask Biggie’s son didn’t come until after the show was over and done with.
While on the line Lil Kim also speaks on recording new music. She says that she’s been in the studio with Dej Loaf and a few others that will be revealed later. Listen below and let Lil Kim know who you want her to collaborate with by hitting her on Twitter

10 Things You Didn't See on TV During the 2016 VH1 Hip Hop Honors
From sexy red carpet styles to stunning tributes to rap royalty Missy Elliott, Queen Latifah, Lil' Kim and Salt-N-Pepa, the 2016 VH1 Hip Hop Honors had no shortage of amazing moments. The long-overdue salute to hip hop's leading ladies marked a moment of solidarity in what has been a male-dominated genre. Kim put aside her long-simmering feud with Faith Evans, and Latifah led the ensemble through her 1993 hit "U.N.I.T.Y" in an emotional grand finale.
But what you saw on TV is just part of the story. Read on for some great moments PEOPLE caught while attending the broadcast at New York City's historic Lincoln Center.
4. Lil' Kim made a dramatic entrance.
Lil' Kim staged a delayed arrival, sitting down next to her fellow honorees just as a show producer announced "20 seconds to broadcast" over the PA system. This ensured that the 2016 VH1 Hip Hop Honors started off with deafening screams of excitement. The Queen Bee sure knows how to make an entrance!
7. Lil' Kim delighted the crowd by hiding in the audience.
Lil' Kim vanished from the honorees box for a large portion of the show, but she later reappeared in a surprising place – in the middle of the audience! She was placed in an inconspicuous aisle seat, much to the astonishment and delight of the surrounding crowd, to whom she blew kisses and affectionately clasped hands.
8. Little Royal Reign clapped and grooved along to her mama's performance.
Lil' Kim's adorable 2-year-old Royal Reign made her red carpet debut earlier in the evening wearing a show-stealing gold jacket with a matching hat. She spent the rest of the night behind her mother's seat in the honoree box, and clapped enthusiastically throughout Lil' Kim's tribute performance. Clearly she's a fan!
10. Missy Elliott and Lil' Kim celebrate all night with Hennessy and a bad-ass cake.
Guests of honor Missy Elliott and Lil' Kim arrived to their dinner party well after 1 a.m. They celebrated into the morning hours with all of the essentials – Hennessy and cake! The Queen Bee did the honors of cutting a massive sheet cake, decorated with her VH1 Hip Hop Honors portrait taken by legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz.
Lil' Kim performs her hits "Big Momma Thing," "Queen B" and "It's All About the Benjamins" with The Lox.
Queen Latifah, Yo Yo, Monie Love, Da Brat, Ms Jade, MC Lyte, Lady of Rage, Suga T, Rah Digga, Mia X, and Eve perform Queen Latifah's hit "U.N.I.T.Y." to close out Hip Hop Honors.
