Nicki Minaj Copies Lil Kim’s Hair Style For Fendi Fashion Line Promo

So another day, another female rapper being compared to another female rapper. This time it’s Nicki Minaj being compared to Lil Kim for rocking almost the same exact hairstyle in her Fendi fashion promo video as Lil Kim rocked in the 90s.

In case you missed it, Nicki Minaj posted a short video to her Instagram account teasing her new fashion collaboration with Fendi. And in the video she has on a blonde wig with the Fendi logo stamped on it.

And Lil Kim fans were quick to point out that Nicki’s wig with the Fendi logo stamped on it was reminiscent of Lil Kim’s wig with the Chanel stamp on it and with the Versace stamp on it.

@LilKim ALREADY did this twice. NEXT! https://t.co/J12pRGS6Wi pic.twitter.com/t46tomblVU

Lil Kim never had a deal with Chanel… Nicki is getting paid by Fendi ‼️ pic.twitter.com/lUuwwqTgNm

Some people say it doesn’t matter when Nicki or Kim was being paid by the designer to rock their logo, the fact is that Lil Kim did it first even if it was for free.

ORIGINALITY HAS NO PRICE. Stop saying that it doesn’t matter that Kim did it first bc she wasn’t being paid for it. STOP discrediting Kim & denying the fact that she influences Nicki and 90% of these female MCs. Kim deserves her respect & the time is NOW pic.twitter.com/JXuWiBpgY2

There’s no denying that Lil Kim has influenced Nick Minaj and other female rappers, and Nicki Minaj has even admitted that herself.

Nicki Minaj has publicly acknowledged Lil Kim in the past and said that she looked up to her. And she doesn’t mind being compared to Kim and other female rappers, but she just wants people to see her for her – and see past all the other female rappers when they look at her.

So some people are saying that they think Nicki was actually trying to pay homage to Lil Kim by wearing the same style of logo stamped wig.

i’m sure nicki’s still showing kim homage but you lil kim fans hate to see it so you’re trying to say nicki is copying here instead of saying “nicki minaj shows lil kim homage 😍” https://t.co/5gwwalRRYd

Nicki Minaj honored Lil’ Kim with a blonde bob with pink @Fendi logos on the bang and right side. Nearly 20 years ago, Kim wore two wigs, one platinum, the other electric blue, that had been either stamped or spray painted with the @CHANEL and @Versace logo, respectively. pic.twitter.com/uYPzZkxkFV

cardi literally did a whole video dressed like lil Kim & y’all called it homage

Nicki wears a wig with prints, and she’s copying? Make this make sense. https://t.co/AWYRubKOrF

I would like to believe that Nicki Minaj is paying homage to Lil Kim by wearing a similar wig to Kim, but I didn’t hear or see Nicki Minaj mention Lil Kim’s name when she posted the video, so I can’t make any assumptions! In my opinion she could be either paying homage or even trolling Lil Kim!

Leave a comment and let me know what you think! Do you think Nicki Minaj was trolling and purposefully copying Lil Kim’s style when she posted the video of her in the Fendi print wig? Or do you think she was actually paying homage to Lil Kim? Leave a comment and let me know what you think!
