After getting poor reviews on the new video for “Only”, Nicki Minaj quickly responded to the issue: “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 overseeing the lyric video (one of my best friends & videographer: A. Loucas), happen to be Jewish…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.”
When asked about the lyric video, Osbourne (the video creator) answered with the following: “First, I’m not apologizing for my work, nor will I dodge the immediate question. The flags, armbands, and gas mask (and perhaps my use of symmetry?) are all representative of Nazism.”
