Nicki Minaj feels ‘So Special’ in her newly released take on Movado‘s smash of the same name. The verse said to be the fruit of a recent studio session.
And while the Hip-Hop mistress may please fans with the track, a certain sect of listeners will be none too impressed with what’s spewed at the 0.27 mark (“softer than a…”)
Get familiar with ‘So Special’ after the jump…
Sam’s Side Note: While Ms. Minaj likely meant no ill will, lines such as that only serve to alienate a large chunk of her fanbase (see: “Ken Dolls”).

It gives me old nicki vibe, I honestly don’t think its “recent”
hmmmm ur fave made a homophobic slur..now must u still ride her bandwagon to the grave
O_O noooo she didnt.
u can tell Nicky writes her songs as raps then she adds a melody to the words… anyway, its ok, nothing *Special about this song at all
I LIKE HER MUSIC BUT HER STYLE IS TOO GAGA!! BE MORE ORIGINAL GURL
That line was not that serious and sure as hell not any type of “slur”. I’m gay and wasn’t offended at all. She wasn’t saying anything derrogatory towards gays. Anyone that blows this out of proportion is seriously reaching and feels the need to b**** about something.
HUH!? “Ur softer than a Homosexual”
…… What is the beef? Really………….?
Psh….. LOWE IT!
failed wtf shes dissing homos for and over 85 percent of her fan base is GAY!!
that was an epic failed..
I am getting sick of Nicki and her crazy ass wigs. its time for that h** to have a seat.
the song is NOT new, it’s from the recording sessions for her third mixtape, “beam me up scotty” from three years ago.
and there’s probably a REASON why it’s “unreleased”, namely the song is s***—
‘softer than a homosexual’ is by no means a “SLUR”, offensive, possibly (to a soft ass homosexual), but it’s not like she said “f*** f***” or anything. 😐
Really Nicki??? So typical.
I doubt that her “HOMOPHOBIC SLUR” was a “SLUR”!!!!!!! Nicki has stated on many occassions that she has dated women (even though she can’t imagine having s** with one), but she’s also said that its the same thing with men…I don’t think she’s celibate, but EXTREMELY PRECAUTIOUS!!!
This week, she also made gossip mag headlines for saying that she ‘WASN’T’ impressed with Eminem’s “HOMOPHOBIC SLUR” on Romans Revenge…
Minaj tells Out.com, “You know, if I’m being honest, I didn’t like (him using it). I spoke to everyone I knew about it. I spoke to my hairdresser, who’s one of my closest friends. I sat him down and said, ‘Terrence, what do you think about this? How does this make you feel?’ And we had a long, long talk. And he said he didn’t feel like Eminem was talking about a gay person. He felt like it was a word being used to describe a straight man, and he didn’t take offense to it.
http://blog.seattlepi.com/people/2011/05/11/nicki-minaj-was-uncomfortable-with-eminem-slur/
So it would nice if “THAT GRAPE JUICE” did its research properly – She didn’t mean what she said in an offensive way…
Doesn’t it say in this blog’s arbituaries “ABOUT TGJ” that it is one of the most trusted source of RELEVANT information??????? Doesn’t look like it to me!!!
(BTW, I’m not trying to shade anyone – JUST SAYING)
Peace.
@#1QUEENGAGA
gaga’s style isn’t gaga’s—

im teamminaj … this isn’t nicki 2011 this was prob when she did your love cus her voice i can here the differents in it …….
Yall is really trippin over this line? How the f*** is she dissing gay men? Yall need to grow the f*** up cuz yall KNOW it aint that SERIOUS.

@ A REAL STAN.
SINCE GAGA CAME ON THE SCENE ALL THESE WANNABES BE WEAR COLORFUL WIGS AND BIG ASS SHOULDER PADS COPYING GAGA’S STYLE. GAGA IS TRULY A TREND SETTER.
SORRY NOT SEATS AVAILABLE, ALL CONCERT SEATS WER SOLD OUT!!!!!
@HOP-SCOTCH
1) What does Nicki having dated women have to do with what she said? That is like saying a lesbian cannot be homophobic–they can.
2) Just because Nicki “wasn’t impressed” with Eminem using the terms “no homo” and “f*****” on “Roman’s Revenge” does not mean that what she said on “So Special” CANNOT be read as a homophobic slur.
KISS MY MOUTH!!!!
Funny, cause if all the homosexuals hadnt bought her album.. she’d not have sold half of what she has done.
Lucikly for her… she can say what she likes.. cause shes a joke of an artist. look at her.. no ones gonna take a clown seriously.
LETS PLAY ********TWISTER*******

There was no slur there at all stop making drama out of nothing. Leave Nicki alone. I can’t to hear the full song.
@Kerry
Boy, ur still trolling here.
#1Gaga Lil Kim has been wearing colourful wigs since crush on you video. Hell even Rupaul has worn colourful wigs. Madonna has done the shoulder pad thing so you make no sense. I like Gaga too but come on.
Nicki MInaj stans/fans >>>>>>>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCw85qssvyY&feature=youtu.be
KISS MY BEAUTIFUL MOUTH!!!!!
@ICON
HEY!!!!!!
I miss you
Wen Nicki 1st hit da scene she said she was gay, but wen ppl found out she was lying she said she was then bi, and then straight. Imo most of her songs sound da same, like ppl always hating on her, bcuz she is getting money, shes a bad b**** and she ALWAYS throw a diss line @ Lil Kim in MOST of her songs.
@PartofBlancoFamily
Get over it. Everyone has their time. Kim is a hasbeen.
@Kerry
Lol. Ur strangely cute.
@ICON
LOL well thank you!!!!
I think this song is beautiful && im gay && wasn’t offended it definitely isn’t anything toward gay ppl its describing a straight man with female tendencies.
@HOP-SCOTCH
But Nicki still APPROVED Em verse and threw it on her album… correct? Ok.
I can’t believe Nicki with this snippet. Especially when 99.9% of her fan base are clearly gay….
She needs to have a seat with this wack sh*t… like for real
Her voice in this song reminds me of the singer Mya
THERE’S A MEETING IN MY BERDROOM

@TEVIN CAMPBELL JOHNSON- Im sooooooooooo glad u change dat pic u had in ur gravatar, dat pic made dat dude look like he take it 4rm da back…….. if u kno wat i mean
Nicki Minaj if like Dr. Suess, she just uses words that rhyme. This was not a homophobic slur by any means. I don’t know how she honestly feels about homosexuals, but this doesn’t come across as a “homophobic” remark.
I take it as hey u my dude, stop acting like my soft homosexual friends…i am gay & that dont bother me, I could carel ess what people say, thats just me!!!
She is gay anyway LMAO! but she was being rather stereotypical.
Nobody cares she’s gay herself.. Can’t wait til she goes away as well. This little gaga-kim wayne drake junior knock off wanna be, is so irritating…
SHE IS NOT GAY SHE LIED TO SELL THE RECORDS ITS REALLY SAD THAT YOUNG GAY BOYS ARE SUPPORTIN THIS FRAUD SHE NEVER DATED NO GIRL PEOPLE WHO KNOW HER SAID EVERYTHING ABOUT NICKI IS A LIE
I wish Nicki would just go away with her corny @ss.

One of the NOTORIOUS Rihanna stan’s out there, GIVE IN TO ME!!!!!!
@KerryJohnson
You’re trolling, and you’re giving fellow Rihanna stans like myself a bad name.
@KOREANDREAM
I DONT CARE!!!!!!!!
Don’t this b**** know where her bread gets buttered?? Let’s just give her a biography on Donna Summer and read to her what happened to Donna’s career when she forgot about the gays … dead cold like a fish. When Donna dissed the gays, she went from working hard for her money to not working at all. B****! Boo! Bye!
Ain’t no straight guys checking for Nicki Minaj, so she need to come correct and know the fan base that made her can break her.
IM HORNY!!!
I WANNA GET INTIMATE!!!!!!
I don’t care if she’s gay or not. She ain’t F^cking me. I enjoy her music.
Im not gay and Im a fan of Nicki’s. When she was mixtape artist, most of her fans were heteroe. The gays jumped on teh scene when she started the outlandish s*** cuz they love that.
Nicki never said she was gay to sell records. I need proof of that? Cuz in her mixtape days she implied she was into girls, but she wasn’t selling her mixtapes at the time. When pink friday came about she dismissed rumors she was gay before it’s release.
I hate how lady ga ga fans try and act like they know so much about Nicki. Lady gaga wasn’t always so strange either by the way. She is not the first and wont be the last to wear crazy s***.
Anyway that line was def not a slur, sick of homosexuals trying to find a problem with everything. Nicki has said “nappy headed h*** and so much other s*** and u say this is a slur. lol whatever. These mofo’s act like they endured the same struggles as blacks, native americans, chinese, and women. Just stop because it’s becoming ridiculous and far from reaching now.
Um, this is obviously from an old Nicki mixtape, because I remember her saying that she stopped using the word “homo” because her fans asked her not to.
And I’m gay and I was not offended.
@Mysterious
U get killed for being Gay in many places in the world.
Lol, Nicki got y’all queens mad!!
The sensitivity needs to stop. I feel your pain, because it was once the African American community that was in the gay community’s shoes. However, you can’t get offended by every little word. Especially if your one of those gay men / lesbians who use the terms homo & f*g.
I like the song, I love when she makes music like this. It doesn’t take a genius to see that Nick’s clearly not homophobic.
that was a muthfu** slur if i ever heard one…all u dumb a** kids and ignorant people on here wan t to think otherwise…yall are whats wrong with america and society today!!!!
@mysterious…until your ignorant ass walks in a gay person shoes…dont say what gay people should take offense to…let me call u a (dumb ass nappy head,I eat ramen nooodles,wear blue magic hair grease”so I wont get called nappyhead” ass up out of here…WAIT…did u see what I just wrote?..u wont admit it but if I was a popular rappper with impact on the radio and u were black”..YA ASS WOULD BE OFFENDED !!!!!…the b**** is ignorant and closeminded..I dont give a f*** if she is gay or not…check the suicidal rates…MOST GAY PEOPLE CANT STAND THEY DAMN SELVES(il’l just say to myself “this ignorant hate herself,wannabe lil kim(u know she wanna be her..lol) is lashing out at her own ingorant self!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like the beat, but Nicki “Softer than a h…” REALLY!? Girl, you have a lot of bi/homosexual fans out there, how could she disgrace them like that?

______________________________________________________________________
OKAY THEN!!!!!!! If you understood the whole point of post AND actually read the article, you will see that I never said or tried to impose that “SOFT AS A HOMOSEXUAL” could not be seen as a gay slur!
DID YOU SEE ME WRITE ANYTHING AT ALL, THAT RELATED TO YOUR COMMENT???
2. What do you mean by Nicki having dated women, it will not coincide with her using a homosexual slur??? Of course it is!!!
Lesbianism and Male Homosexuality both fit into the same criteria…Why on earth would permit something, such as a gay slur, in an offensive way when she know’s she’s dated women??? And has sadi on multiple occassion that she doesn’t like it when members of ‘Young Money’ use slurs in their language! “Soft as a homosexual” isn’t a slur, its maybe stereotyping (because not all gays are feminine) or probably a metaphor for the way the man gives his love??? THINK ABOUT THAT!
*WAITS FOR REPLY*
No shade, Peace.
SHE CAN FOOL SOME OF YOU BUT NOT ME LOOK AT HER OLD PICTURES AND LISTEN TO HER MIXTAPES WHEN SHE WAS HER REAL SELF ,NOW SHE IS A LIL KIM AND GAGA WANNEBE PLEASE NICKI ITS BETTER TO BE HATED FOR WHAT YOU ARE THAN TO BE LOVED FOR WHAT YOU NOT
LOVE HER VOICE IN THIS!
l luv it, cant wait for the full thing….
how is this not a slur or bash…she’s saying all homosexuals are “soft”
since when is being SOFT a good thing?
#IllWait
@BeyStan
I especially got a kick out of the jackass (nadine) who said that the slur wasn’t homophobic because Nicki was like Dr. Seuss and chose her phrasing simply because it rhymed.

You better cut it out with all that logical reasoning. You’ll only continue to rile up the kiddies who can’t keep up.
this s*** is old!!!!!
big deal.
@JRICH – U madd man???!! lol you are so f****** stupid. IT WAS NOT A F***** SLUR. GET OVER YOURSELF. ITS PEOPLE LIKE U THAT MAKE THE HOMOSEXUAL COMMUNITY LOOK CRAZY, OVERSENSITIVE AND BITTER. GOODBYE!!!!!
Ummm Nicki Says Alot & Does The Opposite, She Still Says pause and no homo and in an article she said she has never claimed to be bisexual. What she said wasnt a slur, but it was an ignorant sterotype. I can see how some ppl might find it offensive but thats only if u let it offened u, im not a super huge nicki fan buh I do somewhat like her music. She just needs to get it together because her 15 minutes r almost done these REAL female rappers r coming back cough cough* da brat & eve*& once remy gets out thats it
Soundz i co-sign you 101%,and on another note he might not be gay,but a Nicki hater [they know that it,s not a slur]who is flinging something on the wall and hoping it sticks,and this snippet is of an old song,they always reaching to tear down nicki.it is what it is though,she is 1# so all type of stuff is crawling out the woodwork to attack her.
think this is old
You all haters! I don’t mind her giving a laugh at gays. Im gay and totally not insulted! So shut up pleaaaaaaase!
That’s not Niki. it’s GaGa in disquise.

U sound so stupid and off the wall. Who gives a damn about ur sexual orientation, who u screw, and who you like. I don’t and I can care less what people think of who im sexing or am attracted to. If you don’t see the difference oh well.
If gays or anybody else stop taking everything so serious, maybe the s****** rates wouldn’t be so high. It causes more stress to try and censor everybody and get offeneded over every little thing that is said. If you can’t stand yourself becuase of who u are attracted too, that is rather soft and insecure too.
Dont even go there with lil kim.
And if you didn’t know in did it on em, nIcki said nappy headed h***, I wasn’t offended. Comedianas use stereotypes all the time, I’m never offended cuz I don’t take it that serious.
The problem is the issues blacks, native americans, jews and other groups faced in this country over a large period of time was much more serious than a simple stereotype that gays go crazy over.

——————————————————————————-
U get killed for just standing around in many places in the world. You get killed for wearing a color in some places and you get killed for speaking out in others. Some people are just animals that don’t deserve to walk free. It has nothing to do with being gay.
Were gays ever slaves for not a span of a decade but for centuries? Were their simple everyday freedoms taken away, were they sold for profit, controlled, kept behind and from progressing, or recieved inhumane torture by mass groups over long periods of time. were they segregated from the normal privilideges and rights? If you never say you are gay or attracted to the same s**, noone would know and dammit noone should care. It can’t be compared to a race or nationality and the brutal pain and these groups faced just for being born.
Nicki’s rhymes are clever…. HOWEVER.. (mines are too! HAAAAAAAA!)

Nicki is an fail in general. It doesn’t matter what her lyrics says, unless she says “I retire”, Im not interested in anything this Kim Clown Clone has to say,
