Nicki Minaj has a lot of her Black fans upset … with her choice of dolls in her new music video Barbie World.
Nicki has been racing up the charts recently, and she now appears poised to regain her throne as the best female rapper in the world. But Media Take Out learned, that she may have just hit stumbling block.
Last night she released her latest video, with Ice Spice for their latest track Barbie World – and the song is definitely a BOP. The video is pretty much flames also.
Unfortunately there was one part of the video that has her fans upset. Nicki chose a “White” barbie doll to depict herself.
It was especially blatant given that Nicki clearly chose an ethnic doll to depict Ice Spice – who is half Black and half Latina.
Media Take Out obtained screenshots of the dolls. Compare the doll Nicki chose, with the one that the videographers used for Ice Spice. Nicki’s doll is clearly caucasian, and Ice Spice’s doll is clearly ethnic.
Referred to as the “Queen of Rap”, Minaj is one of the best-selling music artists, with more than 100 million records sold worldwide. Billboard ranked her as the top selling female rapper of the 2010s and the greatest female rapper of all time.
Her various accolades include eight American Music Awards, five MTV Video Music Awards (including the 2022 Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award), twelve BET Awards, four Billboard Music Awards, a Brit Award and three Guinness World Records. Outside of music, her film and television career has included voice roles in the animated films Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012) and The Angry Birds Movie 2 (2019), supporting roles in the films The Other Woman (2014) and Barbershop: The Next Cut (2016) and being an American Idol judge. In 2016, Time included her on their annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world.
