<p>Rapper Lil Mama stopped by Power 105.1&#8242;s The Breakfast Club and radio this morning &#038; radio personality Charlemagne the God who&#8217;s known for bullying celebrities didn&#8217;t hold anything back with this interview.</p>
<p>He started going in on Lil Mama from the very beginning  talking about her looks calling her older than what she appears to be, he also talked about the comment she made about Nicki Minaj “taking her swag”, as well as the time she jumped on stage with Jay-Z &#038; Alicia Keys the VMAs.</p>
<p>Charlemagne then continued to press Lil Mama about why she hadn’t put out new music when she finally had enough &#038;  broke down in tears and stating.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“When I was seventeen years old I put out an album when my mother was dying of Cancer, That right there alone is a struggle. That’s tough for anybody. But my music will speak for itself. My actions will speak for itself. My mother will be proud.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Check out the interview below:</p>
<p>Watch the video below:</p>
<p><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="display:block;margin:0" width="320" height="200" data="http://www.kyte.tv/f/"><param name="movie" value="http://www.kyte.tv/f/" /><param name="flashVars" value="p=5296&#038;c=449330&#038;s=1415839&#038;tbid=50420" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /></object></p>
<p>I have a new respect for Lil Mama because Charlemane was going in on her from the very beginning of this interview but I must admit she held her own.  If that was me in Lil Mama&#8217;s situation the interview would have been over before it started because me &#038; Charlemane would have been scrapping up in that studio the way he was talking to her.</p>

<p>A few weeks ago rapper Lil Mama was spotted at the MTV Movie Awards looking like a Nicki Minaj <del datetime="2011-06-16T03:18:09+00:00">on crack</del> reject sporting a blonde wig <del datetime="2011-06-16T03:18:09+00:00">like Nicki</del> &#038; trying to make those funny cartoon faces <del datetime="2011-06-16T03:18:09+00:00">like Nicki</del>.</p>
<p>In a recent interview <a href="http://vibe.com/contents/v-exclusive-lil-mama-how-nicki-minaj-copied-her-style-why-she-deserves-respect-going-indepe">Vibe Magazine</a>, called her out on trying to impersonate everybody&#8217;s favorite Harajuku Barbie, however let  Lil Mama tell it, she wasn&#8217;t the one doing the copying. </p>
<p>Lil Mama claims that Nicki jacked her style when she performed on America&#8217;s Best Dance Crew recently.  **Blankstare**</p>
<p> She also talked about influencing other artists, her personal style, &#038; female rappers sticking together.  (**Again Blankstare***)</p>
<p>Check out a few excerpts from the interview below:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>How do you react to folks saying your biting Nicki Minaj and Lady Gaga?</strong></p>
<p>Come on, let&#8217;s be real okay. You have all these people wearing different colored hair. At the end of the day I&#8217;m a bombshell, so I&#8217;m going to do me. If I want to go platinum, I&#8217;m going platinum. Let&#8217;s not forget that we have had people doing these things way before the people who are doing it now and let&#8217;s also not forget that the black community sometimes we really hang ourselves because every time another black female gets up there and does something that may be current, we criticize each other and try to put each other down, but when Katy Perry and Lady Gaga do it, they all eat. But I&#8217;m not going to be a part of that. I&#8217;m going to do me, regardless.</p>
<p><strong>I think the biggest style criticism was thrown at you this past MTV Movie Awards. Bunch of people thought you jacked Nicki’s haircut.</strong></p>
<p>But my cut is blunt and futuristic and Nicki Minaj started wearing that bob on her head after she came to my show, so at the end of the day I know what I do and I know what I possess and I know who I am. I&#8217;m a trendsetter. The biggest form of flattery is imitation so I&#8217;m flattered. I understand the universal law. I&#8217;m not confused, I don&#8217;t feel like a follower. I started so many things that new artists are doing now anyway –my style, the way I&#8217;m aggressive on a track, the way I come through, the way my beat bangs. There are so many things that were borrowed, that I influenced that&#8217;s happening in music right, so I&#8217;m far from discouraged.</p>
<p><strong>Well there you go!!!!! Wait, Nicki went to one of your shows?</strong></p>
<p>Yeah, she was a guest on America&#8217;s Best Dance Crew and immediately afterwards, everywhere she went, she was wearing the haircut, the same exact way. But that doesn&#8217;t make me feel like ‘Oh she&#8217;s trying to be down’ like how I said about our culture. I&#8217;m actually flattered because she imitated me and it felt like something that I was doing was cute and in time for the fashion and for the season, so it&#8217;s like let&#8217;s live, let&#8217;s do it.</p>
<p><strong>Were you and Nicki at least able to chop it up after her episode of ABDC?</strong></p>
<p>We didn&#8217;t really get a chance to vibe out like that after the show. It was just business. It was a level of respect though. Despite of what anybody might hear or have to say through the web, internet, music, subliminals, or whatever, when people see me in this industry I am respected and I will be respected. Anything else goes under the rug so I don&#8217;t see it. Whoever it may be, it&#8217;s always a level of respect because I respect myself and I will be respected.</p>
<p><strong><br />
 You mentioned how other female rappers didn’t embrace you much. Has that changed or stayed the same?</strong></p>
<p>It hasn&#8217;t really changed. You know what, let me catch myself. MC Lyte definitely embraces me. Jada Pinkett Smith embraces me. Those are two people that I can call and get advice. Those are two people that will call me to see what I&#8217;m doing. I think that everybody else that&#8217;s still on the radar like Missy and [Lil] Kim, feel so challenged right now. The root of female rap now is all about your swag and doing things independently. Everything is just boosted up to where these females who created the platform for us feel imitated. The kind of in that position right now where they feel like ‘Don&#8217;t get it twisted because I will drag you…’
</p></blockquote>
<p><del datetime="2011-06-16T03:18:09+00:00">Dear Lil Mama, Nicki didn&#8217;t vibe out with you after the show because she don&#8217;t like you, actually nobody likes you after you crashed the stage at the 2009 VMA&#8217;s during Jay Z &#038; Alicia Keys performance. </del></p>
<p>Lil Mama girl bye ain&#8217;t nobody thinking about you, let alone copying ya style smh!!!!!!!</p>

<blockquote><p>
<em>When I came out to do this promo tour it was a reminder to let everybody know where it came from.  If you gone swagger jack somebody and take they&#8217;re style at least pay them respect and don&#8217;t try an act like you created this &#038; try to act like your not a fan &#038; disrespect me. </p>
<p>At the end of the day I do what I do and my fans know where it all came from, everybody knows where it came from</em>.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><em>Don&#8217;t try to diss me that&#8217;s where the problem comes in at when you try to diss me.  </p>
<p>I can&#8217;t expect for another female to come in the game and not want to be like the best I love that!!!!!!!</em></p></blockquote>
