Nicki Minaj recently covered Marie Claire’s October/November 2016 edition where she also spoke on police brutality as well as the double-standard women receive in the media.
Nicki says that when all is said and done, the black women are the ones who go unnoticed the most.
“We tend to not remember the black women who are mourning these men and who are thinking, ‘Oh, my God, what am I going to tell my child now about where his father is,’ and the struggle it is for black women to then move on after they lose their husband or their boyfriend. The strong women in these inner cities often go unnoticed … no one really ever puts a hand out to them,” she says.
Nicki makes a really good point!
Let’s talk about black women’s double-standard issue in the media! We know y’all caught on to the pattern of the public praising the Kim K’s of the game when they appear on Instagram, magazine spreads, or anywhere else for that matter, almost naked. Have y’all also caught on to what happens when the Nicki Minaj’s of the game try the same thing? A contradiction of opinion is what tends to happen and Nicki is not here for it!
“When Kim Kardashian’s naked picture came out, [Sharon Osbourne] praised it, and my fans attacked her for being such a hypocrite,” noted the 33-year-old rapper. “So it wasn’t trashy and raunchy when a white woman did it, but it was when a black woman did it? It’s quite pathetic and sad, but that is my reality, and I’ve gotten accustomed to just shutting it down.”
