Nicki Minaj has a history of creating divisive music videos, but they usually feature some sort of inoffensive celebration of booty.
Nicki’s "Anaconda" video, for example, was designed to shock, but it seemed to gain more fans than detractors. Her latest clip, on the other hand has apparently pissed off just about everybody who’s watched it.
Here’s the lyric video for "Only" that was uploaded to YouTube earlier today. Be warned: it’s seriously NSFW and not just because of the graphic butt play descriptions:
As you can see, Nicki bafflingly decided to cast herself as some sort of cartoon Hitler for the clip. Drake is the Pope for some reason, while Chris Brown’s character appears to be dressed in an SS uniform.
Yes, it seems that Chris and Drake have settled their beef yet again, but as you can see, that doesn’t even crack the top ten on the list of most jaw-dropping thing about this clip.
Nicki’s been uncharacteristically quiet on Twitter, so we have no way of knowing why she decided to draw inspiration from a regime that’s responsible for the worst atrocities in the history of mankind.
Given the widespread negative reaction to the video, however, we’re guessing she’ll make some sort of statement before the day is done.
Unfortunately, the astonishingly offensive video has overshadowed the song itself, which features some revealing and occasionally hilarious lyrics.
Nicki starts the track by denying that she’s ever had sex with Lil Wayne or Drake.
She follows that up with references to everything from Jon and Kate Gosselin to Lance Stephenson blowing in LeBron James’ ear. (Yes, she makes the obvious "blowing" joke.)
The rest of the song mainly consists of Drizzy and Weezy musing about their various reasons for not having sex with Nicki.
Drake claims he’s held off because she has a man. Of course, Nicki broke up with Safaree Samuels last month, so we guess it’s safe to assume Drizzy’s hittin’ it now. Then again, maybe this video turned him off.
