Nicki Minaj has condemned the double standards black women face when it comes to nudity and suggested some of the positive reactions to Kim Kardashian West's internet-breaking nude selfie would not have happened if she was black.
The rapper criticised Sharon Osbourne, in particular, in praising Kardashian West for her nude selfie earlier this year but slamming Minaj’s iconic cover art for her single “Anaconda” in 2014.
Discussing the artwork, The X-Factor judge reportedly said at the time on The Talk: “This looks like a cheap ****o cover of a DVD… I love women’s bodies. I love nudity, but this is cheap.”
Minaj has now hit out at the criticism and said her fans called out Osbourne’s “hypocrisy” when a couple of years later she shared her own nude selfie after finding Kardashian-West’s “inspiring”.
“When Kim Kardashian’s naked picture came out [Sharon Osbourne] praised it and my fans attacked her for being such a hypocrite,” she told Marie Claire. “So it wasn’t trashy and raunchy when a white woman did it but it was when a black woman did it?
“It’s quite pathetic and sad but that is my reality and I’ve gotten accustomed to just shutting it down.”
Just now i was seeing some girl (Chloe Moretz?) trashing Kim for posting her nude picture which contradicts what she says , her logic of using 1 person to prove that's what everyone thought is so flawed. She should just stick to supporting Hitler
I love Nicki,but she clearly is off the mark here.
Why? First of all, Kim was heavily criticized by many. But furthermore (and assuming Kim was praised mostly), the pose is EVERYTHING. Nicki's pose was vulgar, while Kim's was sensual. Anyone who can't see the difference between standing up nude, legs closed, vs squatting with legs wide open as if taking a squatty potty/ riding the D is a lost cause.
Still love you Nicki! Can't wait to get TurnT again at your next tour!

So many people attacked Kim so yeah that example was really bad.
