Lil Kim Comes After Nicki Minaj on Beyoncé's 'Flawless' Remix

Queen Bee heard her name, so she jumped on King Bey's song.

When Nicki Minaj said "slayin' with Queen B" on Beyoncé's "Flawless (Remix)," it motivated Lil Kim to get in the booth and deliver her own version of "woke up like this."

"Am I trippin' or did this h- just say my name?" she sets off over an extended version of the song (she keeps Bey's verse and Nicki's verse intact).

Her quick sixteen has multiple flow flips and even a new-mommy moment ("I just had a baby 'bout a week agoooooo."), but is the same Kim circa her two-time platinum 1996 debut, Hard Core. "I gave you the rope, b---h I want you to hang / Dior lipstick with the mascara, kissing myself in the rearview mirror / Head game so presidential, Spit on a d--k like an instrumental."

Her version also came with a mixtape and tour announcement. "SEE YOU B-----S #QueenBee #Flawless #HardCoreMixtapeUpNext #HardCoreTour2014," she tweeted, along with a link to the remixed remix. An hour later, she added, "I'm sorry to those who can't download the remix but we shut down Twitmusic #Sheesh."

Bey and Nicki haven't made mention of the song, despite it being a trending topic today. Bey has added a new pic from her tour with hubby Jay Z to her Instagram page, and Nicki retweeted news that Al Roker used "Bang Bang," her joint track with Jessie J and Ariana Grande, as a soundtrack to his weather report and that her solo joint "Anaconda" is No. 1 on iTunes
