   Make no mistake, Nicki Minaj is just another dumb nigger with a   
   peroxide bottle, who shakes her pussy and screeches.   
      
   Nicki Minaj was on the receiving end of some backlash Thursday   
   (February 13), after sharing artwork for her new track "Lookin   
   Ass N---a." Eventually she heard the cries though, addressing it   
   via Instagramand noting that the image was never billed as   
   official cover art.   
      
   The post featured a photograph of Malcom X holding a rifle and   
   looking out of the window in his Queens, New York home. Some   
   fans took issue with a photo of the civil-rights activist being   
   linked with the provocative song, and Nicki wanted to hear their   
   explanations for the outcry.   
      
   "What seems to be the issue now? Do you have a problem with me   
   referring to the people Malcolm X was ready to pull his gun out   
   on as Lookin Ass N---az? Well, I apologize," she wrote. "That   
   was never the official artwork nor is this an official single.   
   This is a conversation. Not a single."   
      
   "I am in the video shooting at Lookin Ass N---az and there   
   happened to be an iconic photo of Malcolm X ready to do the same   
   thing for what he believed in!!!! It is in no way to undermine   
   his efforts and legacy," Nicki continued. "I apologize to the   
   Malcolm X estate if the meaning of the photo was misconstrued.   
   The word "n---a" causes so much debate in our community while   
   the "n---a" behavior gets praised and worship. Let's not.   
   Apologies again to his family. I have nothing but respect an   
   adoration for u. The photo was removed hours ago. Thank you."   
      
   Of course her fans responded immediately, with plenty of them   
   giving her props for addressing it calmly. "Please stop   
   apologizing for what others don't have the mental capacity to   
   understand, keep up the creativity, and let the haters hate   
   while you continue to shine," eyebdatphoenix wrote.
