What has happened in the 50 Cent and Lil Kim feud?

The feud's origins are unclear but seem to have flared up in 2005.

In an interview, Lil' Kim said, "I can't front. I don't have a lot of respect for 50 Cent because his music is hardcore… violent.

"And I love his music sometimes, but I feel like in his personal life, his real life, he carries that on, and that's not a great message, you know what I mean? I think he promotes it."

"How can a man have beef with a woman? Whatever, that's just not cool," she said.
