Nicki The Nazi? Nicki Minaj channels Hitler in her new video, ‘Only.’
Want attention? Emulate Hitler.
Nicki Minaj just employed that sure-fire trick in her new video, “Only.”

Her record label’s initials — YM for Young Money — are twisted into a swastika-like shape.
Minaj’s video, directed by Jeff Osborne, was viewed nearly 3 million times on YouTube on Monday. Meanwhile, the twitterverse erupted in outrage.
“Thanks for blatant nazi imagery in your new video! Really great allusion to persecution & genocide,” tweeted Melissa Morgan.
