People assuming it's about race.

You already lost at this discussion, just don't post in this thread.

I still think it has to do with the vulgarity of it.

In 'High School' she had that outfit that was suggestive, and got no backlash.


+ The video was a biT suggestive; and let's not start on the Billboard Award performance she got away with.

I think if she did something revealing like that; but still really cute and put together it'd be fine to most. But gur; all she had was a damn string being ate by her ass in that picture.

+ the fact it's a single cover. But yeah, there's examples like the DWUW single cover. Half of is how vulgar it was (I think if any Pop Girl had a cover this vulgar they'd get backlash, black or white) and another half is stereotypes and such.

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


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.

Exactly and those models are on a beach promoting swim wear of course they are going to be provocative. Nicki just dropped a single cover with no music so no one can really draw the lines that the imagery relates to the song

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 why 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.

She's not really "hollering" more like sitting back and pointing out the faults. She knows the standards exist, it's not like she's playing dumb. I feel you though.

Rihanna had way more good press than bad press.

Not true. All of the press on the cover has been positive. Public reaction is entirely different.

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

Rihanna isn't white soooo, no. This is a perfect comparison.

This isn't about race. Yesterday she blatantly tweeted about racism.

She would have had no problem declaring that today in defense of her argument.

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.

Nicki has never claimed herself to be a role model for kids. She has always said that she loves children & want them to put education & career first, but never said she was a role model.

Her name is Nicki MINAJ for goodness sake. How could she try to be a role model when that was never her intent in the first place. She appealed to a younger generation, but that wasn't due to her wanting to be a role model.

What is wrong with her

[Maleficent]

Good for her.

3/4 of those girls have their asses decently covered. Nicki is literally in a next-to-nothing G string. Of course people find that more shocking than a regular bikini bottom. Not to mention she has a bigger outlet than they do. They're just models. What is it so hard to understand?

and she HAD to only post white models. Like that's obviously on purpose too.

When she's not preaching about 'double standards' in rap between male and female rappers she's preaching about double standards in ass pictures? like everything is double standards to this girl

n this too.

Artists known by the world will face more controversy, than models nobody knows or cares for.

Women especially black women have to watch every sexual move they make because they can't embrace their sexuality without being called a hoe

This sums it all up. PERIOD.

[Robbyyy]

Who said anything about race though?

She's obviously pointing out other double standards, but yall too busy taking what you want to take from it instead of what it really is.

[Flare]

How can people miss the point? Are y'all that slow?

She's simply stating how females in magazines have their ass sticking out in G-Strings and even less daily yet no one in media says "trashy". Yet the minute Nicki does it, it's a huge scandal as though

A) Her ass has never been out before.
&
B) Other female's asses haven't been out before.

Society makes a big deal over body parts EVERYONE has. It's really not that serious. Being naked doesn't instantly mean sexual and even at that, what's wrong with sex? It's a natural thing. It's how we're all here, alive, in this thread right now.

People need to seriously cut the bs on **** shaming any and every female who has any power and chooses to be naked.

[Justinintime]

Her point flew over y'alls heads, and nicki never once proclaimed to be anybody's role model. It's the exact opposite actually.

[dirrtydiana]

yasss!! her cover has me so turned on

Literally all that took was a five second Google search.

And like I said, it doesn't make her a bad role model, I'm just coming at this the way most people would.

[BadBitches]

But, Nikki sis, their booties are real. The good sis Google shouldn't be promoting a surgical enhanced buttock.
