Rapper Nicki Minaj has been very vocal about her support of the #BlackLivesMatter movement, and she’s never been too busy to vent her frustrations about police brutality on her social media accounts.
Interestingly enough, her latest performance has some questioning the authenticity of her support.

I wouldn’t say she doesn’t care about black people but she cares about money more. That’s how a lot of celebs are. I mean we got Michael B Jordan out here admitting he doesn’t like to talk about race issues because it could hurt his career. It is what it is.
Real sh-t.
Agreed.
I read about this. Nicki really should have cancelled. I just don’t understand why she would agree to perform for this person.
Nicki has already shown numerous times that she isn’t really loyal to black people. She’s the same woman who called black women nappy headed hoes and just came for black people again on Twitter a few days ago because some people don’t think she’s that great of a rapper. She made it a race thing when it’s a Hip Hop thing. This is why I wasn’t defending her on the whole Miley and Taylor thing. Nicki is only pro black when it benefits her.
I can’t say you’re wrong. I root for Nicki because she’s a black woman in a male dominated industry, but she could be a much better person than she is. If you’re going to be about Black Lives Matter on Twitter, adhere to that when you’re offline as well.
I honestly think Nicki is just trying to drum up controversy to make people forget about what’s going on with her brother. It’s not like her strategy isn’t working.
LMAOOOOOOO they dragged ha!!!!!!
Eh, I get the logic behind this but at the same time, isn’t this typical for artists? They get millions for these kinds of performances. Most ain’t going to turn down the opportunity. Another way to look at it is she would be punishing fans who happen to live in Angola. It’s a lose, lose situation so she probably figured she might as well get money.
*sighs*
LOL!
Not one lie was told. I hope Nicki understands this writer’s POV. But we all need to ask ourselves how fully we are committed to uplifting our own race. It’s easy to call Nicki out but she’s not the only one who isn’t truly committed. Regular people can do better as well, like everyone who is commenting on this blog (myself included).
This can be said about a lot of artists. White ones too because it’s not uncommon for artists to perform for dictators and corrupt political officials.
