More than a few hip-hop fans will point to Kanye West 's single "Monster" as a defining moment in Nicki Minaj 's rap career.

Tensions between Nicki Minaj and rap veteran Lil Kim may be heating up as speculation has developed around the self-proclaimed Barbie's new "Stupid H*e" single. While nothing has been confirmed, close examinations of Nicki's lines hint at the track possibly being a subliminal diss .

Jordan Strauss, WireImage Nicki Minaj has launched another attack in her ongoing wax war with Lil Kim , and this one is no stealth operation. On the just-released diss track 'Stupid Hoe,' Nicki broadsides the Queen Bee, rapping in the aggressive style of her Roman Zolanski alter ego. "I get it cracking like a bad back," Minaj raps in the opening verse, "Bitch talkin' she the queen, she she looking like a lab rat." With the next line, Minaj's assault on Kim comes with some collateral damage, as Jennifer Aniston gets caught in the crossfire. "I'm Angelina , you Jennifer/ C'mon, bitch, you see where Brad at?" Nicki taunts. Elsewhere, Nicki likens Kim to Michael Jackson 's chimp, Bubbles, and implies that if she'd pursued a friendship rather than instigating a beef, the former superstar might have ridden her pink coattails back into the limelight. She's sharp as ever in the verses, and when it comes to the hook, she thump

The third confirmed track from Nicki Minaj's sophomore album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded has dropped - and it doesn't make for good listening for Lil Kim. 'Stupid Hoe' sees Nicki's gay, British alter-ego Roman Zolanski taking thinly-veiled shots at the Queen B within the first few bars: "I get it cracking like a bad back/ B**ch talkin' like a queen when she lookin' like a lab rat." Hip-hop's biggest diva beef is confirmed as being fully back on track towards the end of the three-minute diss with Nicki/Roman rhyming: "Ay yo Baby Bop, f**k you and your EP/ Who's gassing this hoe, BP?" - referring to the new record Lil Kim has announced is coming in the new year .

Nicki Minaj kicked off her 29th birthday on the video set for Madonna's "Give Me All Your Love," and if that collaboration isn't enough indication of the monster year she's had, then factor in the kiss and personal birthday song Madge threw in. Minaj released her debut album Pink Friday in November 2010, but her popularity hit fever pitch this year, which is why MTV has named the Young Money rapper the #2 in MTV's Artists of 2011 list, second only to Katy Perry. Running off the momentum of last year when she performed at Jay-Z and Eminem's sold-out Yankee Stadium shows Minaj joined her YMCMB family on Lil Wayne's I Am Still Music Tour early in 2011.

Nicki Minaj intrigued the music world when she burst onto the scene in 2009 with her eccentric style and was quickly dubbed 'the black Lady Gaga' as a result of the craziness. It was not long before she debuted different personalities and channelled them in her songs, rapping in different voices. The most dominant persona is Roman Zolanski, Nicki's gay British 'twin' who battled alongside Eminem's alter-ego Slim Shady on 'Roman's Revenge.' Roman also has a mother named Martha who featured as a Godmother in Nicki and Drake's 'Moment 4 Life' music video. There is also the saintly Nicki Teresa, popular Harajuku Barbie and Spanish Rosa, not to mention the original Nicki Minaj. One personality fans do not get to see often is Onika Maraj, the real Nicki, who her musical peers say is one of the nicest people in the game. Nicki announced earlier this week that her second album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded will not only feature her British buddy,
