Nicki Minaj hammers YouTube after her new music video gets age limited
American rapper and tunesmith Nicki Minaj has slammed YouTube after the social platform age- confined her ‘ Likkle Miss Remix ’ music videotape with dancehall artist Skeng.
According to Variety, taking to her Instagram handle, the rapper has contended that the company is “ in bed ” with rival artists ’ camps. “ Imagine this. They confined my fucking videotape but have effects a million fucking times worse on their bogus f — king platform, ” Minaj identified her post which was a screenshot of a YouTube community guidelines violation notice. She added, “ This is what they do to keep you from winning while doing advertisements for other ppl and posting fake f — king stats. Because the same ppl who run YouTube are in bed with a certain record marker and mngmnt company. ”
Minaj’s own camp didn't escape fully unscathed, as she claimed her marker has declined to “ buy promo for my vids. ”
According to the screenshot, Minaj’s videotape was supposed “ not suitable for observers under the age of 18. ” It featured a group of partygoers drinking and dancing, with a cast of womanish hop joining Minaj in twerking throughout the clip, sometimes joining the manly extras in quick, suggestive acts.
Latterly, YouTube removed the age restriction, which issued a statement to Complex saying it had “ removed the age restriction after determining the videotape did n’t violate our Community Guidelines, ” as per Variety. Following that Minaj deleted her two fiery Instagram posts.
Minaj and Skeng’s music videotape arrived on the platform on Sunday, following its appearance as a part of her new 29- track topmost successes compendium reader, ‘ Queen Radio Volume 1 ’, released via Young Money/ Republic Records.
This comes on the heels of Minaj’s performance at Rolling Loud NYC over the weekend as the jubilee’s first headlining womanish rapper; she was joined by special guests Bia, G Herbo, Fivio Foreign and Uzi, as per Variety.
