Lil' Kim's clone rival Nicki Minaj may be on the cover of VIBE taking shots at the Notorious K.I.M. this month, but the Queen Bee is on the cover of TIME, technically.

TIME Magazine's cover subject for next week is North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and the title they chose for this story borrows the female rapper's name.

This isn't the first time the rapper has been connected to the Kim Jongs. When the elder Kim Jong Il died late last year, people on twitter created a hashtag #RIPLilKim making light of the dictator's height, or lack thereof. 

No official word on if Kim Jong Un will be adopting Lil' Kim as his official nickname. One thing's for sure, if he chooses to, we shouldn't expect (or hope) that the real Lil' Kim accuses him of biting her style the same way she has Minaj. We think this guy will retaliate with much more than just a diss record.
