Nicki Minaj’s “Only” Video Draws Criticism for Nazi Imagery

Fact checked

Critics are knocking Niki Minaj for seemingly using alleged Nazi symbolism in her new music video for “Only.” Nicki Minaj released a lyric video for her guest-heavy new single, and the response by many have been shocking.

The video had barely been uploaded to YouTube before viewers started pointing out the obvious: Minaj appears to borrow heavily from Nazi imagery. Not only does the video evoke the symbols and imagery of Nazis, but in placing Minaj as the all-powerful dictator leading the army, many have argued that the rapper is in fact glorifying Nazism.

Below, watch the video and decide for yourself if Minaj and Osborne’s work is in bad taste.
