you know, there were several media responses to this video calling it “racy” and even comparing it to porn. the youtube comments are mostly people calling her trashy and guys boasting that they’re getting off to it
the video consists of nicki minaj doing tame cute dances in a few different swimsuits on a beach (quite possibly a callback to her childhood; the ethnic makeup of the backup dancers reminded me of trinidad)
which just goes to show you that black women are coded and read as hyper-sexual, always, and lord help a black woman who wants to wear a damn bikini on a beach — she can’t be cute or have fun, she’s being “pornographic”
there is nothing racy about that video, but of course since she is a black artist and a female hip hop artist at that, then they will degrade her no matter what.
