Nicki Minaj is facing accusations of anti-semitism after releasing a seemingly Nazi-inspired lyric video for her new single, “Only."
In the animated clip, Nicki is depicted as a powerful military leader in charge of an army that look suspiciously like a bunch SS officers.
Red flags that feature a distorted, swastika-looking version of her initials are featured throughout the video.
There's a Nuremberg-esque parking lot for her tanks.
And her soldiers are shown wearing Nazi-esque armbands.
Intentional or not, fans on Twitter are outraged by the imagery.
Just saw Nicki Minaj's lyric video for "Only You" and all I could say is PROBLEMATIC
@NICKIMINAJ i <3 you. but making a nazi themed video, w/yourself as a sexy Hitler & your initials looking like a swastika? disrespectful :(
I like "Only" by @NICKIMINAJ with @drake and @chrisbrown / but who the hell thought it was ok to have the lyrics vid channel Nazi & Hitler?
Some are even calling for the video be taken down.
Take down the nazi vid thanks @NICKIMINAJ
@NICKIMINAJ Please delete the ONLY lyric video and apologize for the Nazi references please.
@osnof @NICKIMINAJ right? I would love if @YouTube take this down smh @ het glamorizing nazi
Has Nicki finally gone too far? Watch the full video and decide for yourself.
