Once the new female MC on the block, Lil Mama has something to say about hip-hop femcee du jour: Nicki Minaj.

When asked to share her thoughts on Young Money’s first lady, the Brooklyn rapstress gave kudos to Nicki before pointing to a glaring difference in their images and content.

“Nicki Minaj is a talented rapper,” Lil Mama said. “She’s out there, she’s doing her. What she represents, I don’t represent and she’s doing something different, that’s her lane. As the voice of the young people, Lil Mama, I focus on bringing up young girls to respect their bodies, respect theyself, do it up.”

Lil Mama is reportedly in the lab working on her sophomore album. Click here to see BET.com's exclusive interview with Nicki Minaj.
