Nicki Minaj has always called it like she sees it. ;
It’s been five years since Minaj wowed us with her unforgettable rap verse in Kayne West’s “Monster,” permanently altering the fabric of the male-dominated rap industry. From that moment on she has used her platform to encourage girls to stay in school, subvert problematic gender norms ;and ;call out racism in the music industry. ;
This Halloween, the rapper found another target in the terribly offensive Bill Cosby costume that has been making the Internet rounds. ;The image shows a man dressed as a woman wearing an inflatable Bill Cosby doll that gropes her chest and puts drugs in her drink.
“Our generation is so desensitized,” Minaj captioned the photo. ;
She reposted the image originally found on the account of Desert Storm Records co-founder DJ Clue. Exemplifying the problem she described in her own post, DJ Clue poked fun at the costume with the caption, “This gotta stop ;#PillCosby ;.”
Minaj, on the other hand, avoided the typical celebrity Halloween pitfalls and dressed up as a “fairy fkn princess.”
We think it might be time to give Minaj the Halloween crown for speaking up for what’s right.
