Nicki Minaj caught a lot of criticism and backlash over her single “Anaconda,” and her music video caused even more controversy since it is so sexual in nature.
However, it appears Nicki’s big risk with the single may be paying off already.
Not only is the track performing well on the charts, the single has now been certified platinum.
Nicki tweets:
Congrats to Nicki.
Congrats to her. The song has definitely grown on me. That “oh my gosh, look at her butt” part gets a stripper walk out of me EVERY time.
LOL!
And the song is trash. I respect her hustle though.
Queen of Rap!!!!
I’m happy for her. Now maybe this will make Iggy’s four stans sit down somewhere. Nicki has platinum singles and albums.
LOL.
How? It’s one of the worst songs she’s ever recorded.
I’m still not a fan of the song, but I’m glad she’s still succeeding.
I sense another platinum album on the way. Get it bew.
I really didn’t expect this song to become a hit. Congrats to her.
Kim ain’t gon like this. LOL.
Iggy Izalea? Who dat???
Congrats to Nicki! Still don’t like the song, but love that she’s doing so well.
That a-s tho.
Young black and white thots love the song. Not surprised.
Eww. I hate this song.
I can actually tolerate this song now.
This is one of those songs that goes harder in the club.
