The Move To Peleton

Lil’ Kim VERZUZ Trina Might Never Happen
Female rap veterans Lil’ Kim and Trina aren’t being taken seriously. The Florida native went online to reveal that she’s been trying to get a VERZUZ battle going during a recent interview but the feedback hasn’t been the best.
“It won’t even feel like a competition because it’s a family thing. I’m probably gonna be so much more engaged in her records than anything cuz it’ll go back to when I first heard her, so I’ll be in my vibe, like fanned out…That’s just what I would say. That’s just my little opinion, but nobody reached out.”
