‘Va Va Voom’ vixen Nicki Minaj saw her name zoom right to the top of the Anti-Defamation League’s hitlist after her latest lyric video ‘Only’ hit the net recently.

Assisted by Chris Brown and fellow Young Money crew members Drake and Lil Wayne, the visual instantly came under fire after fans likened its imagery to Nazi themes.  The uproar prompted Abraham Foxman, the League’s director and Holocaust survivor himself, to issue a statement on the group’s behalf:

Nicki Minaj’s new video disturbingly evokes Third Reich propaganda and constitutes a new low for pop culture’s exploitation of Nazi symbolism. The irony should be lost on no one that this video debuted on the 76th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the “night of broken glass” pogrom that signaled the beginning of the Final Solution and the Holocaust.

This video is insensitive to Holocaust survivors and a trivialization of the history of that era. The abuse of Nazi imagery is deeply disturbing and offensive to Jews and all those who can recall the sacrifices Americans and many others had to make as a result of Hitler’s Nazi juggernaut.“

Their outcry did not fall on deaf ears. Just in time for Veteran’s Day, find out what Minaj had to say in response below:

If you tuned into VH1’s ‘Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’ last night, you would have witnessed one of the series’ more controversial episodes.

Revolving around the supposed demise of Rasheeda & Kirk Frosts’ fifteen year marriage, the last scene saw the latter shock fans when he engaged in on camera infidelity, while on a get away with cast member Raymond ‘Benzino’ Scott and singer Bobby Valentino.

Filmed cheating on his heavily pregnant wife with two members of Valentino’s entourage….one of them, being the self proclaimed ‘Mistress of Atlanta’ Alexis Miller. 

All this, after urging Rasheeda to abort their unborn child and boldly suggesting that Will and Jada Pinkett Smith engaged in an open marriage, claiming Will ‘does as he pleases’ in their 16 year marriage.

Now, in defending the Smith’s and supporting Rasheeda, the chart topping Rapper Nicki Minaj has slammed Frost in a message posted on her official Twitter page.

Another day, another Twitter battle.

Indeed, after the week started off with a bang with R&B bad boy Chris Brown’s fiery exchange with TV writer/comedienne Jenny Johnson, now his ‘Right By My Side’ co-star Nicki Minaj is stewing her own brand of Twit-battling with a rant against former ‘American Idol’ judge Steven Tyler (of Aerosmith).

The rock icon asserted during a recent interview with MTV that Minaj and fellow feuding judge Mariah Carey should, “Shut the f*ck up and focus [on the] talent”.

As what he said next has had much of the net abuzz for the past day or so, tell us:

Did Minaj respond fairly to Tyler’s comments?

A graduate of New York’s LaGuardia School Of Music & Arts, Nicki Minaj has risen to become Pop’s most renown Rapper, scoring more US Hot 100 singles than any other Female MC in chart history.

So, by way of her ever engaging public image, FOX’s ‘American Idol’ enlisted the starlet to sit on their Season 12 panel, perhaps hoping to capitalize on her experiences as a Contemporary act.

However, it seems ‘Check My Resume’ singer T-Boz is far from impressed by Idol’s decision to hire Minaj, questioning her ability to judge fresh talent.

And the fallout continues.

After maintaining a day’s silence following the video which confirmed their feud, American Idol judges Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey have begun to publicly address the drama.

Taking to Twitter moments ago, Minaj appeared to have a meltdown of sorts when speaking on the icon, going as far as to insuinate that she is being racially targeted. The Young Money’s star’s broken silence comes after Carey phoned in The View today to tell Barbara Walters her side of the “story”.

For one reason or another, Mariah Carey has always struggled to ‘play nice’ many of her contemporaries throughout her success laden career.

From Christina Aguilera to Madonna and Jennifer Lopez, many a chart belle has found themselves on the wrong end of Carey’s wit, or if reports from  ‘American Idol’s set are to believed, her condescending nature.

However, after being confronted by fellow ‘Idol’ judge Nicki Minaj for being just as condescending with her, ‘Wrecking Ball’ singer Aubrey O’Day has come out in Carey’s defense.

Last night, Rap’s brightest export Nicki Minaj performed at Wango Tango, a day long concert held by LA’s KIIS FM.

Serving up a set of her best numbers, which include ‘Did It On ‘Em’ and ‘Roman Holiday’, the MC delivered what we’d say one of her better performances, armed with the structure her set on ‘American Idol‘ lacked back in April.
