You are right but I have a problem with "so called" artists who proclaim to be artists who make artistic music and artistic music videos when their images and music videos project the opposite.

There is nothing artistic about this music video and Nikki proclaims that she is an artist so there is an expectation there for her but not just her anybody who calls themselves an artist.


Whether she is being forced or not it is still projecting a message and it still does not change the fact that she is using her body to sell records.

She is always saying that she is a rapper FIRST and always calls out other rappers so why is she using her body to sell records instead of her music???

I am holding her accountable for HER OWN words which people have a right too.

You can't call out other rappers for the very thing you do yourself and Nikki Minaj is famous for this.




Okay, but this is NOT Porn, this is a MUSIC video. This is suppose to be an expression of art and expressing the meaning of a song in a visual way. I don't have a problem with sexuality being used in music or music videos in a ARTISTIC WAY but its troubling how these pop female artists persist on fulfilling men desires instead of tackling deeper messages with their music.

It reinforces negative stereotypes about woman.It reinforces the idea that "we are only here to fulfill the fantasies of men and we are only good for objectifying our bodies" Being that I am a woman myself I don't like it.


You can still be classy and sexy without degrading your body like that I dont care what anyone says.


I think it does matter when a male society is holding a woman who has had multiple plastic surgeries as the standard of beauty.

The average woman does not look like that because they can't afford to get their nose done, their boobs done, their ass done, or hips done.

It does matter because men are marveling at something that is not real and it is being held as a "standard"




That is completely different from this


I am not condemning anyone but everything on J Lo's body is natural and real unlike most of the fake asses in holly wood.

MOST African American and Latina women are naturally shaped like a Jlo which is why I dont have a problem if someone would want to hold her as the standard for that population women. Nikki on the other hand is just not accurate symbolism. No way her ass is the average ass of a black woman, and we have booty's but they don't look proportionally abnormal like hers
