Lil' Kim is calling out talk show host Andy Cohen for his "messy" antics.

The Brooklyn rapper, who turns 45 on Thursday, took to Instagram during an expletive-laced rant to announce she's canceling her upcoming appearance on Cohen's "Watch What Happens Live," in addition to other media outlets who didn't "put some (expletive) respect on my name."

"I had a cool relationship with (Cohen), I thought," Lil' Kim said, adding that her "publicist and manager made the executive decision to shut it down."

She continued: "At this point, it’s about me. I refuse to… keep doing all these interviews, publications, and all of that… if (expletive) are not going to respect who I am, what I’ve done, where I’m at now.”

The rant has been deleted from her Instagram account.
