Nicki Minaj Is Sorry For That Nazi-ish Music Video
When living Crank Yankers puppet Nicki Minaj released the video for her song “Only” last Friday, a video that looks sort of like Springtime for Hitler crossed with Homestar Runner, she probably didn’t anticipate that it would cause any where near as many pearls to be clutched than her George of the Jungle late-night phone sex ad video for “Anaconda” did. After all, “Only” doesn’t feature a single butt! Okay fine, there was one ass (Chris Brown).
Except I guess Nicki forgot to realize that “Only” looked like something made in Adobe Flash by Derek Vinyard in his mom’s basement, and people were not having it. Even the dumbest kid in your high school history class was like “But where’s the dude with the Charlie Chaplin mustache who yells a lot?” So obviously, she took to Twitter to say sowwy, and also to pull out the ol’ classic ‘But I can’t be ___! One of my best friends is Jewish!’ (Cut to Drake giving Nicki the side-eye):
I didn't come up w/the concept, but I'm very sorry & take full responsibility if it has offended anyone. I'd never condone Nazism in my art.

The artist who made the lyric video for “Only” was influenced by a cartoon on Cartoon Network called "Metalocalypse" & Sin City.

Both the producer, & person in charge of over seeing the lyric video (one of my best friends & videographer: A. Loucas), happen to be Jewish

Okay, Sin City I get – all the red and black and white and shit. But Metalocalypse? Shit, I’ve watched almost every episode, and I honestly can’t remember anything about Dethklok going back in time to tour Nazi-occupied Germany. So confused. And Metalocalypse is great, but if you’re going to rip-off any Cartoon Network show, it should be Squidbillies. I mean, Nicki in a Booty Hunter hat? It’s almost too perfect!
And the person I feel most bad for today isn’t Nicki, but her best Jewish friend A. Loucas! Bubbie Loucas is probably super pissed right now! Can you even imagine how awkward it will be for A. Loucas this Hanukkah? Hope you like 8 pairs of socks, A.Loucas!
