Cons

• Nicki Minaj has yet to win a Grammy.
• Arguably, the lyrics and video for “Anaconda” were pure filth.

• The lap dance scene between Drake and Nicki Minaj in “Anaconda”
• “Beez in the Trap” (Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded) wasn’t the most refined single itself.

• Speaking of raunchy, “Only” (The Pinkprint) makes it a three-peat. The lyric video received the most heat.

• The cover art for single “Lookin’ Ass” received plenty of heat.

• Minaj’s 2012 Grammy performance/exorcism with the pope was controversial AF. The performance was directed by Laurieann Gibson.
• She has serious ex problems.
• The chemistry between Minaj and Mariah Carey during a short-lived stint on now

• defunct American Idol was “abysmal,” to quote Simon Cowell. According to Mariah Carey, the beef was fake.

• Her brother, Jelani, was indicted on child rape charges in 2016. His DNA matched semen on the accuser’s clothing.

• She blocked a fan on twitter who challenged her silence on the Orlando shooting in 2016.

• Minaj “called out” Miley Cyrus at the MTV VMAs in 2015. She threw further shade on the remix of Yo Gotti’s “Down in the DM.”

• She threw shade at Iggy Azalea at the 2014 BET Awards.

• She got into a feud with Teen Mom star, Farrah Abraham.

Farrah is a cunt to her mother 😩

• She’s feuding with Demi Lovato…sort of.

• Patti LaBelle threw shade at her (and Miley Cyrus to be fair).

• She performed a controversial show in Angola, despite being asked to pull out of it.

• She was involved in a twitter feud with Taylor Swift.

• Her forthcoming album is apparently more pop-oriented.

Vibe has an excellent compilation of Nicki Minaj’s most controversial moments during her career.  It doesn’t disappoint.
