The Queen Bee had some girl talk with iPower 92.1′s TT Torrez live on air. During their blistering chat, Kim opened up on just about everything under the sun.

On why she left Atlantic Records:

“I left Atlantic Records because of the simple fact I wanted to venture out and become my own boss, my own businesswoman and move units on my own and figure out how to do that on my own so I can finally start making some real money.”

“My record company didn’t understand the direction I wanted to go and who I really was as an artist cause Lil Kim is not just this hardcore rapping artist, that’s what I hate. I don’t just do hardcore music. I’m over here with it, I’m over there with it. I rap, I sing, all of that in one but they didn’t get it. I knew where the music industry was going and I wanted to go with it.”

On her relationship with Jay-Z:

There were representatives from RocNation that wanted to get Kim but she didn’t sign with them. She said a lot of record companies get nervous when it comes to Lil Kim because they thought they would have to spend a lot of money to make her work. She’s been studying how to make Lil Kim work without using all the major theatrics she use to have.

She says Jay-Z lives in his own world. He didn’t come to visit her but she’s not bitter about it and never was. She said she knows if it was one of them in the same situation, she would have been there. She says she’s never held it against them business-wise because she’s a businesswoman.
