Nicki Minaj has a new video out and it has upset both fans and observers because of the seemingly Nazi-inspired lyric video for her single 'Only'.

It features a Young Money logo emblazoned on a flag like a swastika and soldiers in SS-style red armbands featuring the logo.


Minaj apologized, but not really.


Then director Jeff Osbourne did the same, but not really either.

The flags, armbands, and gas mask (and perhaps my use of symmetry?) are all representative of Nazism. But a majority of the recognizable models/symbols are American. As far as an explanation, I think its actually important to remind younger generations of atrocities that occurred in the past as a way to prevent them from happening in the future. And the most effective way of connecting with people today is through social media and pop culture. So if my work is misinterpreted because it’s not a sappy tearjerker, sorry I’m not sorry.

The video is still up despite their non-apologies. What do you think? Check it out:
