Why Nicki Minaj Has Every Right to Speak Her Truth

As the MTV Music Awards nominations were announced yesterday, rapper Nicki Minaj took to Twitter to express her discontent that her most popular videos this year, “Anaconda” and “Feeling Myself,” were snubbed from top categories, including Video of the Year. She rightfully cited racism, sexism and white beauty standards as to why she was overlooked, tweeting, “If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year.”
