Minaj has been frequently compared to Kim with both known for risqué outfits and filthy lyrics.

Recently Lil Kim told ThisIs50.com: “For the last year, she's been subliminally taking shots at me, subliminally taking shots at the other girls in the industry… and Puffy is sitting right next to her

“It's obvious that she likes my music and that she's trying to mimic what I'm doing.”

But Diddy denied any problem telling Tim Westwood: “I want to say I love Lil' Kim, man. I'm sorry that she's mad. I never would have thought that by me working with another artist that she would take it the wrong way.

“But if she's taking it the wrong way, it ain't meant like that. Nicki never did anything to her. (She) has always been respectful of her and Nicki's not trying to be her…. She's a different MC. They don't even talk about the same thing.

The rap mogul added: “We love and respect the days and the history that we've had with Lil' Kim. It ain't no beef.”

Diddy has been in the UK promoting his new project Dirty Diddy Money and also appeared on Jonathan Ross’s chatshow on Friday.
