Nazi Imagery
The music video for Nicki Minaj is design to shock people along with her lyrics, it is meant for her fans People aren't happy about this video from Nicki Minaj, because they're upset about them including Nazi imagery. It includes the visual elements to the Third Reich, including the color scheme, and the logo of their record label. She also sits in a throne as a dictator looking at thousands of soldiers.People took it as disrespectful, and want it to be taken down."The irony should be lost on no one that this video debuted on the 76th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the 'night of broken glass' pogrom that signaled the beginning of the Final Solution and the Holocaust." Nicki's excuse for the poor choice is that she didn't come up with the concept but takes full responsibility for it. She said that the artist who came up with the concept wasn't inspired by Nazi's but a cartoon. This design is a fail, the color scheme, along with her dictator position is almost an exact imitation for Nazi imagery. With the excessive complaints, most people could recognize the imagery, along with the swastika like arm band logos. This video concept is a complete fail and should be taken down and redone. If they wanted to get bad attention, then it would be the only reason why the concept and images were chosen.
