Nicki Minaj has come under serious fire for glorifying Nazism in her latest (lyric) video for her new single "Only".
Nicki plays a Hitler-esque dictator along side Chris Brown, Drake & Lil Wayne in the animated clip which even sports an army wearing red bands (as was the case in Nazi Germany) and a YM (Young Money) logo that many feel resembles a Swastika! Most of the clip also makes use of black and white footage which seems to draw inspiration from Nazi propaganda.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) are one of the many Jewish campaign organisations that have come after Nicki for her "insensitive" music vid & have said that it "disturbingly evokes Third Reich propaganda and constitutes a new low for pop culture’s exploitation of Nazi symbolism!”
During the second World War nearly 6 million Jewish people were mercilessly killed &/or left for dead in concentration camps in what is still regarded as one of the most horrific instances of Genocide in history! An estimated 78% of Europe's Jewish Population was wiped out in the Holocaust.
Nicki and her team have yet to say anything about the deeply controversial video clip! Share your won thoughts on this with us in the comments below.
