Taraji P. Henson Says Lil Kim Is Inspiration Behind Cookie character. In her recent interview with Vogue magazine the “Hustle and Flow” actress talked about Fox’s new hit Tv show ‘Empire’. Viewers have fallen in love with Taraji’s character Cookie. She’s sassy, intelligent, stylish,(in her 90’s fashion) and business minded. She’s literally “Every Woman”. Taraji credits the females of hip hop; she says that Foxy Brown, Salt and Pepper, and Lil Kim were a huge influence on her character Cookie. Taraji fails to put Nicki in the same category;in fact she states Nicki Minaj got everything from Kim. Shady or Nah? More details after the jump.


No Way! You’ll Never Guess Which Female Rapper Will Be Appearing On ‘Empire’

Despite what 50 Cent is saying due to its similarities to Power, the new show Empire is Fox’s newest original series to hit our TV screens. The show just made its debut on January 7th and it is already gaining a crazy amount of buzz. However, the show seems to have a LOT of special guest appearances lined up for future episodes. If you remembered, femcee Foxy Brown was front and center just a month ago at Lee Daniels’ Empire premiere party but we thought she was just attending the festivities just because. However, Foxy recently announced that she will be making an appearance on the show. She posted up a conversation with Lee Daniels onto her Instagram page and captioned the photo, “EMPIRE DYNASTY!!!!!!!! @TheOriginalBigDaddy THE MASTERMIND HAS OFFICIALLY SPOKEN! Now Y’all See Why The KING BITCH Moves In Silence GAME OVER! #FOXonFOX!” As of now, there is no word whether or not Foxy’s role will be reoccuring or not but it should be dope to see her on our TV screens. Snoop Dogg is also set to appear on the show in episode 11 of season 1, according to reports. Although 50 was throwing a ridiculous amount of shade at the show for “biting” Power, word has it that Fif might make a special pop-up appearance on Empire, as well. (Do it for the ratings, people.) Check out Foxy’s huge announcement over in the gallery. We’re happy for her!

Was this a get back at Ma$e that we don’t know about?! The Harlem native went over to London to shut the house down – kinda. Ma$e performed in front of a very small crowd and now he’s getting slammed for it. By who? Foxy Brown [WHO?!]. The funny thing is, she as well as Fat Joe were also suppose to perform – they never showed. Hit the jump for more.


(Video) Cute! Nicki Minaj Raps Foxy Brown Lyrics In Honor Of Her Birthday

Nicki Minaj may not see eye-to-eye with Lil Kim, but she certainly has love for another that paved the way before her, Foxy Brown. Taking to Instagram in celebration of Fox Boogie’s 36th birthday on September 6, Nicki rapped a few bars from Fox’s 2001 song, “Tables Will Turn.” “Why, so many b*tches wanna take my flow,” Nicki rapped in the Instagram video. “I’m too hot, too dope/Flow like that pink Cris and Mimosa/Who the f*ck dope-ah? Eh?” finishing with, “Happy Belated Birthday Foxy, love you.” In a 2009 interview with me, Nicki named Foxy, Kim and Remy in a tie for one of her “top 5 dead or alive” artists. “Remy’s just a beast, Foxy has impeccable timing and a delivery to die for, Kim is the pioneer for my generation,” Nicki told me. “She’s the trend setter. She’s the Queen Bee.” I wish her relationship with Kim would have stayed in tact as much as Fox and Rem!
