In a sitdown with Rap-Up, Lil Kim addressed the recent controversy surrounding her alleged first day sales of her mixtape, Black Friday. Many people said 113k (as she claimed) was not only unrealistic but not possible because Paypal only allows a certain amount of money to be made per day in a new account. Read Kim’s response after the jump.
You tweeted that you sold 113,000 copies of Black Friday within 28 hours. Is that accurate?
Right now it could be more.
What do you say to those who question the authenticity of those figures?
At the end of the day, you’re always going to have your haters. We need the haters. There was actually a representative at PayPal who basically didn’t really confirm or deny it, but also [said] that they’re very happy and proud of the success of Lil’ Kim. I think numbers in other areas speak for themselves. I mean, why aren’t they questioning the Black Friday being at 2.5 [million views] in less than 18 hours? Why aren’t they questioning that? What’s the difference? How can you add up one thing and not the other? I just feel like people pick and choose the area that they want to attack [laughs].
Do you know the current sales figures?
No, I actually don’t know right now. I have a team that kinda checks up on all that. We’ll keep you posted.
Nicki Minaj laughed off your sales claims. Did you see that?
I heard about it. I didn’t see it actually for myself, but to be honest with you, homegirl is basically obsolete to me right now. She’s doing a lot of lame stuff. She’s so lame to me right now—she’s always been, but now really. At the end of the day, her sales can be questioned also. Not to say she didn’t have the build-up, but the only thing you kept hearing before her album dropped was nobody liked it, it was wack. Don’t get me wrong, she might have a couple songs that are OK, but who cares. The haters will be haters, that’s their job, and we need them.
thats right kim let them haters know you dont care about them. they need to just off back
I love kim I like nicki 2 but I can’t listen 2 a whole album of hers but I can rock the whole kim album from song 1 2 the last song so glad u back kim I missed you

This is what Hip Hop is! Why is everyone treating Nicki like she a little kid she don’t know the game!
LOl its so funny , KIM is a SUPERSTAR! why cant she sell 113,000 in the first 28 hrs. Nikkis album sold cuz they have 2 diffrent versions, and we all know FAGS usually have money and all her fans are fats, fags or dikes so actually she only sold to, 500,000 people! Kim never had to rip her fans off or have a gimmic to sell her album!But you can gank kids they are the easiest to fool and nikki is ganking them well!!!
Lmao 2.5 million views of a video that’s free to watch doesn’t compare to a 9.99 mixtaoe that noone verified as being realistic lol y’all stans kill me…

I just wanted to point out that pink Friday was actually A shitty album. Additionally it went platinum for albums shipped NOT albums sold. Kim went double platinum because of the amount SOLD. also the mere fact that nick fans has a forum to hate on Kim promotes her relevance. I don’t hear no one hating on foxy brown’s lame come back attempt . #thisisall
Ya bitches is stupid kim not rellevant, dead, dry, whack, a hater, yet you click on a blog about her. How stupid do you sound fucking idiots lmaoo.. Obviously lil kim doing what she gotta do!
KIM GO HARD! SHE GOT EVERYONE COMING AT HER! SHE FIGHTING EVERYONE OFF HER, LIL KIM IS STRONG TYPE CHICK THAT COULD ROLE WIT A NIGGA . LIKE HER STYLE THATS BROOKLYN
kim is great nicki is too this beef shit is wack!! but how is nicki obsolete to her when her whole comeback if u can even call it that is centered on bashing nicki? how she sold 100k of a mixtape of her freestylin on other pples beats when she aint sell tha much in a week her last album? and she was a superstar she aint hot right now but all this fuckery is fucking up her female mc legend status….she should just put out good music n leave the senseless beef alone
also no one questioned her video view because everyone knows all you have to do is press “commandâ€+â€r†on any MAC computer and it will literally generate hundreds of hits in under a minute. My point is we all (well most) people know WSHH is one big ass FRAUD.
paypal DOESNT count product it processes payment so we are supposed to believe a hand count of product sold from her camp n not a unbiased count? gtfoh
When will Kim learn not to trust “other” people to take care of her business. How dare she not know the estimate of her sales especially when it is controlled through her personal paypal account. Just like how is it possible not to know that your cousin is defrauding a business where you are half owner. Tsk, tsk. Kim should know her album sales number.
RIIIIIIIIGHT
Everybody is counting Kim out but steady tuning in & watching her moves!! She winning whether y’all hate on or not! & she’s doin it all be herself like she been..Stop hatin on the stand up bitch that kim is & watch these moves she making..Once nick started shooting out subliminals her ass was up for grabs so if she got dissed, she should have expected it..but haters..Cop BlackFriday..If u gon count her pockets & call her broke atleast support the movement or Sit The Fuck DOWN
