She lets the world know the who, what, and why of how this whole thing started, and exposes what she calls the “fakeness” and “punkness” of Drake, Diddy, and others. Then other artists like Trina and Diamond weigh in on the drama.

Kim drops little nuggets like “I don’t know what the fuck this punk p*ssy Drake is talking about” and “I let her live” when talking about Nicki Minaj. Chick sounds uber pissy about it all too. Part 1 where she gives more of where the beef between her and Nicki REALLY started is here.

Trina, Rah Digga and Missy were asked how they feel about this crazy ass situation.

“That’s crazy. I really don’t get it. I don’t see where all this is coming from,” Miami’s Trina told MTV News via e-mail this week about Kim’s comments. “[We’re] all ladies. Can’t we just make music and get our paper and keep it moving?! We all respect Kim. She opened the doors for us females. It’s all good — everybody’s eating, what’s the issue?” Trina also pointed to the dearth of high-profile women in hip-hop as a reason for Kim to fall back with the criticism. “This makes us all look bad. There’s barely any female artists as is — we don’t need this!”

ATL rapper Diamond agrees that folks should pay homage when necessary:

“I just feel like people that have paved the way for you, you have to show them some type of homage or some type of respect, to a certain extent,” Diamond told MTV News. “That doesn’t mean that you have to go around and carry [their] bags. At some certain point you just have to kinda acknowledge the people that paved the way for making things possible for you. I favor Eve more than everybody, but that doesn’t mean I’m not gonna shout out Kim in an interview or Foxy [Brown] — I might like something that she did — or Da Brat or Missy. Those women paved the way for us, so it would be kinda weird not to show them some type of attention or expression, just to let them know, ‘Hey, I appreciate what you’ve done for me.’ ”

And Rah Digga chimed in:

“The fact that females in hip-hop are coming back is good, because a lot of the times men speak for women and men can’t really cover every subject and topic that a woman would speak on. I feel like, for some reason, people feel like [there] only has to be one female. Everybody has their own lane. Just like there’s different dudes for us to choose between and different genres of music it should be the same for female MCs. I think the best way to command respect is to make music.”
