Is Nicki Minaj Toying With Nazi Imagery?
Nicki Minaj just released a new video called “Only” featuring Chris Brown, Drake, and Lil Wayne. The imagery in the video does give you a Hitler feel and Holocaust vibe. I guess she thought it was okay because it didn’t offend Jewish rapper Drake.
I am not a fan of her music but she is getting a lot of backlash from this video which is basically a cartoon. I understand from their prospective that they wanted to represent an army who is dominating the music industry but this is a bit much. I was uncomfortable as well watching because of what those images meant and how many people were lost in the process.
I think sometimes artistic expression can go too far and in this case it did. I know her public relations team knew this video would get people talking due to its sensitive visual elements. Hopefully she is ready to answer a lot of questions because this video was no Anaconda.
Here’s the video. Tell me what you think?
UPDATE:
Nicki Minaj has responded to the allegations with this statement “I didn’t come up w/the concept, but I’m very sorry & take full responsibility if it has offended anyone. I’d never condone Nazism in my art.” TMZ reports
