Miley Cyrus posted a message recognizing rapper Lil' Kim's birthday on Twitter on Thursday, propping up rumors the "We Can't Stop" star is obsessed with the Brooklyn artist.

Last week, Miley Cyrus told Billboard magazine that she believes she was Lil' Kim in a past life - even though the rapper is still alive - raising questions about her inspirations for lyrics.

The "We Can't Stop" singer told the magazine that she is a fond admirer of the rap artist's talent and style.

"In my past life, I feel like that was me. I feel like Lil' Kim is who I am on the inside. She just makes me happy ... I just love her and I can't help that I love her," Miley Cyrus said during her interview.

Now, Miley Cyrus has continued to display her admiration for Lil' Kim by posting on Twitter "Happy @LilKim Day!!!!"

Liam Hemsworth's fiancée also mentioned that she's an admirer of 30-year-old Nicki Minaj, even mentioning that she is the "Lil' Kim of her generation."

Her grandmother, 67-year-old Dolly Parton, is regarded by Miley Cyrus as "a real-life Barbie doll," according to TVNZ.

Miley Cyrus spoke about musical inspirations and talents during her interview with Billboard and mentioned that the 54-year-old singer Joan Jett "represents a different time when females weren't supposed to be able to kick ass the way that she came out and did."

The "We Can't Stop" star has made headlines for her rocky relationship with Liam Hemsworth and for her new musical style and appearance - different from her times on the "Hannah Montana" show on Disney.

Critics of Miley Cyrus say she promotes drug use and over-sexualization while others who support her career, like Snoop Lion, say she's "transcending into womanhood."
