Those are swimsuit models in a magazine though. They get paid to look good in those clothes. Nicki's a rapper that's using shock factor in a totally classless ploy for attention instead of letting her music speak for itself. Not really the same thing, to be honest.

Exactly. She wants to be treated like people who don't do what she does. She's not a model, she's a musician, and musicians will forever get **** when people presume what they're doing is for shock value as opposed to "artistry". This is something all women have to face in the industry, especially the popstars who want to express themselves sexually.

In addition, it's ****** of Nicki as a self-proclaimed feminist to throw these women under the bus for absolutely no reason. Her comparisons rarely make sense when she tries to compare herself to someone in order to make herself the victim. Instead of being like, "look at them and me wah," she should write a rap and call people out on it. Show people it is about the artistry and not the shock value.

btw, i hope nicki has a song on the album about double standards where she elaborates more on things like this, could be dope.

Yeah i'm one to talk about racism but to say that when a white artist does it no one thinks anything of it is ludicrous. Miley Cyrus, Madonna, Britney Spears, Xtina and many others have been heavily bashed for showing skin.[/B]

Now if you are saying the modern feminist movement isn't as concerned with WOC, and/or that in spite of all the sexual shaming/bashing white women get more chances at being redeemed. Then I can agree

i basically agree with this
i also think theres an issue of artist vs. model.
a model, their job is to look sexy and gorgeous in pictures. nicki (and miley, rih, any other singer who got **** for exposing themselves) is supposed to be an 'artist' who succeeds based on talent and 'using sex to sell' is not seen as respectable. its stupid but i think that might be part of it too.

this isn't an adequate comparison. She would have been better off using Rihanna's naked dress as an comparison.

And yeah if a man shows off his body in album artwork it's considered "hot" by females and completely ignored by males. LBR if sharon ever saw Trey Songz' album art for "Ready" she would be saying he is sexy, not "omg male stripper!!!!". These backwards feminists is whats wrong with the media.

Rihanna's naked dress caused an uproar of controversy. It would be a horrible example.

True.

I hope Nicki uses this as an experience to reflect on lyrically.

YES UNACCEPTABLE SHE SAID!

[TheCheshireCat]

Nicki needs to STOP.


I cringe every damn time she does this.

She is always hollering about people getting mad about her provocative behavior when she KNOWS it's going to happen before hand. Like, SCREAMING at a music legend on TV and then acting shocked when people react, YES there was a lot going on there but damn, she makes it HARD to stan for her.

Posting a trashy pic like that to advertise your music is NO DUHH going to be seen as s****y and cheap, but the good sis did it any way and BAM people got mad, and now she is once again she resorts to being the lowest common denominator of major music acts, and look what happens.

The Pinkprint had BETTER be quality.

Rihanna had way more good press than bad press.

She loves Rihanna to much, and Rihanna got way more backlash than this. Nicki isn't even seeing half as much as Rihanna did.

So if a woman is getting paid to dress like a **** with her ass out on the regular then it's ok, is what you're saying.


Also, the idea that Nicki is a "role model for children" doesn't really cut it because "child role model" is the last thing that comes to mind if you mention Nicki Minaj to some random on the street.


Anymore excuses? I'll wait.

But Nicki herself has said she wants to be a role model for children, so it doesn't matter what people think when they're her words. I personally don't think being sexual makes you a bad role model, I'm just coming at it from what the people who say the ******** are thinking. She has every right to dress and act however she pleases, but she also has to fight the ******** as opposed to complaining about it. The best way to fight it is with talent.

@NICKIMINAJ: Putting out some more #thotShit tmrw for the fuq of it. LMFAOOOOO. Thots out here showin puss lips but u mad at da kid. 😩😩😩😭😂😂😂😂😂LMFAOOOOO

At the end of the day the true double standard lies with men being able to show their body's & women not being able to.

Regardless of the profession, the double standard lies with in the sex of the person.

[Vertigo Stick]

At first I thought this was going to be about men and women
Then when I saw the pics I thought it was no ass vs ass

I can't really disagree with this.

[Superbitch]

I dont understand the hate towards it, is not that this is the first time she does something like this, she's always been pretty open and really sexual. But is she trynna say is because of race tho?
