Young Money‘s Nicki Minaj is keeping tight-lipped on the controversy surrounding H&M these days. However, the self-proclaimed Barbie has low-key deleted her affiliation to the brand from social media.
According to reports, Nicki has trashed pics and video clips of her recent H&M winter campaign with the popular clothing line following backlash received over a racist advertisement.
Nicki Minaj is in the hot seat after H&M, who she collaborated with in December for a holiday fashion line, came under fire for a racially insensitive image of a black boy wearing a sweater with the word “monkey.” Though Minaj hasn’t publicly spoken out against H&M, she has deleted every sponsored Instagram post promoting her fashion line with the company. Fans were quick to notice the deleted posts, which many considered as an indicator of Minaj’s opinion of the backlash. (Yahoo! Lifestyle)
Over the past few days, social media called out artists like Nicki Minaj to speak out against H&M in light of past associations.
So the weekend said he not working with H&M no more, what about Nicki Minaj
