Following the release of Nicki Minaj's "Roman's Revenge" and Lil' Kim's "Black Friday," Funkmaster Flex asked Diddy for his thoughts on the Nicki Minaj and Lil' Kim disputes. Check out the clip below.

"My take on the whole situation is that I love Kim," he said. "I love Lil' Kim, no matter what's going on, no matter what's being said. Kim definitely has a responsibility for my success. Me working with Nicki Minaj has nothing to do with going against Kim. When Kim works with other producers, when she raps with other artists, I'm not getting upset, it's not a problem. I think that a lot of us that have been here for a long time, including yourself Flex, we have inspired a lot of people. We have motivated a lot of people. We have touched a lot of people in a certain way. We've been those cats that people have aspired to be."

"I wouldn't be around Nicki if I ever heard nothing ever negative said about Kim," he continued. "And I've never heard nothing like that. But, then when it comes to just being an emcee, that's when I gotta stand back. If they wanna do things and be emcees, that's their business. I'm not with any negativity. I'm not with no beef and I love both of them."

"At the same time, right now, Nicki Minaj - that's who my artist is, that's who I consult, that's who I do business with. I no longer do business with Kim on that level. But, Kim will always have a special place in my heart. It's like that. Kim is the queen. Read in between the lines, what you want it to be - it is what it is. Kim is the queen and I love Kim. And Nicki's the queen in her own right. That's exactly the way I feel about it, so don't twist my words, don't make it no way it is or it ain't. That's what it is."

"I think they should be doing records together, as a matter of fact, instead of doing anything that isn't showing unification. But, I can't preach to the choir. Everybody grown. I've been through my things. Everybody was like 'you went your things, people gotta go through their own things.' And right now it's that Dirty Money time. I spoke on that and that's what it is. It's a positive thing and that's what it is. Be clear. And I will never forget the times I had with Kim and we could have some more times, 'cause I'm still here. Shout out to Lil' Kim. What's up, Kim? Shout out to Kim and shout out to Nicki. Congratulations on those numbers, Nick!"

Sounds like a really good, well thought out answer to me.
