Lil' Kim and 50 Cent have reignited their feud online, with the pair engaging in a series of back-and-forth arguments this week.
The pair's disagreement goes as far back as 2005, despite their collaboration on the 2003 track "Magic Stick".
And the bad blood between Lil' Kim and Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson has only continued to grow over the years, with the former saying she didn't "have a lot of respect" for him and the latter criticising her during performances.
Here is everything you need to know about their feud.

He also referenced her in his 2005 song "Piggy Bank", making a dig at her cosmetic surgery with the lyrics: "Freak b***h look like Kim before the surgery."
In his, Eminem, and Obie Trice's song "Love Me", 50 Cent also said of Lil' Kim: "I thought Lil' Kim was hot, 'til she start f*****g with her nose."
