Comedian Ali Siddiq is dropping his stand-up special, My Two Sons, on YouTube this Sunday, May 11, and to promote the same, he recently appeared on the Club Shay Shay podcast. During the three-hour-long candid conversation, Ali Siddiq shared many moments of his life and also apologized to Lil Kim for his remark on late rapper Biggie.
The comedian recalled the time when he tried to take a shot at Kim. He told the host, Shannon Sharpe, that he was quite drunk and walked up to the female rapper in the club and said, "Biggie dead, what we doing?" For the unversed, the Lady Marmalade hitmaker was in a romantic relationship with Notorious B.I.G. before he died in 1997.
On the May 7 episode of Club Shay Shay, Ali shared details about the incident that occurred at the club, further explaining the reason behind it.
"I was on that Hen. Full of it. Had a Hennessy IV... I had been drinking all day... I see Lil Kim, and I had just read in this article that Kim says she likes regular dudes. And at this time, I'm a regular dude," Ali told Sharpe.
He then added,
"And man, I see Kim, I tapped my partner said, 'Hey, I'm finna go holla at little Kim.' He said, 'For what?' I said, 'Cuz she like regular dudes'... I get over there and I say the wildest thing I ever said in my life. I get right in Kim face, and I said, 'Biggie dead. What we doing?'... It was the Hennessy. It wasn't me. I apologize, Kim."
The comedian also shared how he was removed from the club after this occurred. Ali had earlier shared this incident involving Lil Kim on The Sitdown At Uptown podcast in November 2024.
